tact with the moving cutter or
line may cause injury.
j) Keep bystanders away whi-
le operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in
serious personal injury.
k) Do not operate the machine
above waist height. This helps
prevent unintended cutter
contact and enables better
control of the machine in unex-
pected situations.
l) Exercise caution when ope-
rating the machine in wet
grass. Walk, never run. This
reduces the risk of slipping
and falling which may result in
personal injury.
m) Do not operate the machine
on excessively steep slopes.
This reduces the risk of loss
of control, slipping and falling
which may result in personal
injury.
n) When working on slopes,
always be sure of your footing,
always work across the face
of slopes, never up or down
and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction.
This reduces the risk of loss
of control, slipping and falling
which may result in personal
injury.
o) Keep all power cords and
cables away from cutting area.
Power cords or cables may
be hidden in hedges or bushes
and can be accidentally cut or
damaged by the line or
cutter.
p) Keep all parts of the body
away from the moving trim-
mer cutter or line. Do not clear
material from the machine
until it has been disconnected
from the power source.
The moving trimmer cutter or
line may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
q) Carry the machine with
the machine switched off and
away from your body. Proper
handling of the machine will
reduce the likelihood of acci-
dental contact with a moving
trimmer cutter or line.
r) Only use replacement cut-
ting heads and trimmer cutters
or lines specified by the
manufacturer. Do not replace
the trimmer cutters or lines
with metal wires or blades.
Incorrect replacement parts
may cause loss of control,
breakage and injury.
