TANT!

A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer can be 
dangerous if used incorrectly or carelessly, and can 
cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It 
is extremely important that you read and understand the 
contents of this operator’s manual.

You must use approved personal protective equipment 
whenever you use the machine. Personal protective 
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will 
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. 
Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
