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.

ALWAYS

make sure the 

appropriate cutting 

attachment shield 

is correctly 

installed.

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 attach-

ment or bounced from a hard 

surface. 

Reduce the risk of 

bystanders being struck 

by flying debris. Make 

sure no one is within 50 

feet (15 meters)—that’s 

about 16 paces—of an 

operating attachment.

Beware of a coasting blade when 

edging. A coasting blade can injure 

while it continues to spin after the 

throttle trigger is released or after the 

engine is stopped.

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.
