Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which
can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not trim on it. For your
safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to
measure slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or
hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not trim on it.
Do:
1.
Trim across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2.
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
3.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
balance, release the control lever immediately and the
spindle will stop rotating within three (3) seconds.
Do Not:
1.
Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you
could lose your footing or balance.
2.
Do not trim slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on
the slope gauge.
3.
Do not trim on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause
slipping.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the string
trimmer and the trimming activity. They do not understand the
dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
1.
Keep children out of the trimming area and under watchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2.
Be alert and turn string trimmer off if a child enters the
area.
3.
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and
down for small children.
