IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug

wire before making any adjustments or repairs

except for carburetor adjustments.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose

fasteners, fuel leaks, etc. Replace any damaged

parts before use.
The string head or blade will rotate during

carburetor adjustments.
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held

tools may contribute to a condition called

Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals.

Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and

blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon

exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to

cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work

practices are all thought to contribute to the

development of these symptoms. It is presently

unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of

exposure may contribute to the condition. There

are measures that can be taken by the operator to

possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When

operating the unit wear gloves to keep hands

and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather

is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s

Syndrome.

b) After each period of operation, exercise to

increase blood circulation.

c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of

exposure per day.

d) Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners

tightened, and worn parts replaced.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this

condition, immediately discontinue use and see

your physician about these symptoms.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for

gasoline.
Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or

flames.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m (30 ft. ) away

from refueling site before starting engine.
Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling

or storing the unit.

Allow the engine to cool; empty the fuel tank and

secure the unit from moving before transporting in

a vehicle.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR TRIMMER USE

Replace string head if cracked, chipped, or

damaged in any way. Be sure the string head or

blade is properly installed and securely fastened.

Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors, and

handles are properly and securely attached.
Use only the manufacturer’s replacement string in

the cutting head. Do not use any other cutting

attachment.
To install any other brand of cutting head to this line

trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
Never operate unit without the grass deflector in

place and in good condition.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while

trimming.
Keep string head below waist level. Never cut with

the string head located over 76 cm (30 in.) or more

above the ground.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BRUSH

CUTTER AND BLADE USE

After engine stops, keep rotating blade in thicker

weeds or pulpy stalks until it stops.
Do not operate the brush cutter unless the brush

cutter guard is firmly secured in place and in good

condition.
Use heavy gloves when operating the brush cutter

and when installing or removing blades.
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug

wire before attempting to remove any obstruction

caught or jammed in the blade or before removing

and installing the blade.
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is

rotating.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues

to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger

released. Maintain proper control until the blade

has completely stopped rotating.
