The Properly Equipped Operator 

Always operate with both 

hands firmly gripping the 

unit.

Wear close-fitting clothing to protect 

legs and arms. Gloves offer added 

protection and are strongly  

recommended. Do not wear  

clothing or jewelry that could get 

caught in machinery or under-

brush. Secure long hair so  

that it is above shoulder level.

NEVER wear shorts!

Wear hearing protection devices and a  

broad-brimmed hat or helmet.

Always wear eye  

protection such as goggles  

or safety glasses to shield 

against thrown objects.

Keep away from the rotating  

trimmer line or blade at all times, 

and never lift a moving  

attachment above waist-high.

Wear appropriate footwear (non-skid 

boots or shoes): do not wear open-toed 

shoes or sandals. Never work barefooted!

Keep a proper  

footing and do not 

overreach. Maintain 

your balance at all 

times during  

operation.

Always make sure the  

appropriate cutting attachment 

shield is correctly installed and 

in good condition.

SAFETY

Be Aware of the Working Environment 

Avoid long-term operation 

in very hot or very cold 

weather.  

Make sure bystanders or observers 

outside the 50-foot “danger zone” 

wear eye protection.

Be extremely 

careful of  

slippery terrain, 

especially during 

rainy weather.

If contact is made with a hard 

object, stop the engine and 

inspect the cutting attachment 

for damage.

Be constantly alert for objects and 

debris that could be thrown either from 

the rotating cutting attachment or 

bounced from a hard surface. 

Reduce the risk of 

bystanders being 

struck by flying de-

bris. Make sure no 

one is within 50 feet 

(15 meters)—that’s 

about 16 paces—of 

an operating attach-

ment.

Beware of a coasting blade when 

brushcutting. A coasting blade can 

injure while it continues to spin after 

the throttle trigger is released or after 

the engine is stopped.

50 

FEET

ALWAYS clear your work area of trash or 

hidden debris that could be thrown back at 

you or toward a bystander. When operating 

in rocky terrain or near electric wires or 

fences, use extreme caution to avoid  

contacting such items with the cutting  

attachment.
