slope, etc. if there is the slightest chance of

8. Check area you will be trimming for debris
that may be struck or thrown during operation.
9. Keep all parts of your body and clothing
away from stringhead when starting or running
engine. Before starting engine, make sure
stringhead will not come in contact with any
obstacle.
10. Stop engine before examining cutting line.
11. Store equipment away from possible
flammable materials, such as gas-powered
water heaters, clothes dryers, or oil-fired
furnaces, portable heaters, etc.
12. Always keep the debris shield, stringhead, and
engine free of debris build-up.
13. Operation of equipment should always be
restricted to mature and properly instructed
individuals.
14. If unfamiliar with trimming techniques,
practice the procedures with engine in "OFF"
position.
15. Always clear work area of debris such as cans,
bottles, rocks, etc. Striking objects can cause
serious injury to operator or bystanders and also
damage equipment. If an object is accidentally
hit, immediately turn engine off and examine
equipment. Never operate unit with damaged or
defective equipment.
16. Always trim or cut at high engine speeds. Do
not run engine slowly at start or during trimming
operations.
17. Do not use equipment for purposes other than
trimming or mowing weeds.
18. Never raise stringhead above knee height during
operation.
19. Do not operate unit with other people or animals
in the immediate vicinity. Allow a minimum of 50
feet (15 meters) between operator and other
people and animals when trimming or mowing.
Allow a distance of 100 feet (30 meters) between
operator and other people and animals when
scalping with stringhead cutter.
20. If operating unit on a slope, stand below the
cutting attachment. Do not operate on a slope
or hilly incline if there is the slightest chance of
slipping or losing your footing.
21. In case of equipment with a coupling, make sure
that the cutting tool does not turn in idling mode.
22. If it is used for a lengthy period, the vibrations it
causes in the hands of the user may result in
circulation problems (white finger syndrome).
White finger syndrome is a vascular disease that
involves seizure-like spasms of the fingers and
toes. The affected areas are no longer sufficiently
supplied with blood and therefore appear
extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating
equipment may trigger nerve damage in people
with an impaired circulation (for example
smokers, diabetics). Should you observe any
unusual impairments, interrupt your work
immediately and consult a doctor. Follow these
instructions in order to reduce the dangers:
Keep your body and in particular your hands
n
warm when working in the cold.
Take regular breaks and move your hands to
n
stimulate the blood circulation during the breaks.
Ensure that the equipment makes the least
n
possible vibration through regular maintenance
and solid parts on the equipment.
