h) While operating the machine, always wear safety
footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or
wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to
the feet from contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
i) While operating the machine, always wear long
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury
from thrown objects.
j) Keep bystanders away while operating the ma-
chine. Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
k) Always use two hands when operating the ma-
chine. Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss
of control.
l) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line or blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
m) Always keep proper footing and operate the ma-
chine only when standing on the ground. Slippery or
unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control of
the machine.
n) 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.
o) When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes, nev-
er 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.
p) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line
or blade when the machine is operating. Before you
start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while operating
the machine may result in injury to yourself or others.
q) Do not operate the machine above waist height. This
helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
r) When cutting brush or saplings that are under ten-
sion, be alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released, the brush or sapling may strike the
operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
s) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and sap-
lings. The slender material may catch the blade and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
t) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the
risk of injury from moving parts.
u) Carry the machine with the machine switched off
and away from your body. Proper handling of the ma-
chine will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving cutter, line or blade.
v) When transporting or storing the machine, always
fit the cover on metal blades. Proper handling of the
machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with
the blade.
w) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and
blades specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment parts may increase the risk of breakage and injury.
x) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the bat-
tery pack is removed. Unexpected starting of the ma-
chine while clearing jammed material or servicing may result
in serious personal injury.
