machine. Contact with the moving cutter or line
may cause injury.
j) Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can result in serious
personal injury.
k) Do not operate the machine above waist
height. This helps prevent unintended cutter

unexpected situations.
l) Exercise caution when operating the machine
in wet grass. Walk, never run. This reduces the
risk of slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
m) Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
n) When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face of
slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme
caution when changing direction. This reduces
the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which
may result in personal injury.
o) Keep all power cords and cables away from
cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden
in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut or
damaged by the line or cutter.
p) Keep all parts of the body away from the
moving trimmer cutter or line. Do not clear
material from the machine until it has been
disconnected from the power source. The
moving trimmer cutter or line may result in serious
personal injury.
q) Carry the machine with the machine
switched off and away from your body. Proper
handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with a moving trimmer cutter or
line.
r) Only use replacement cutting heads and
trimmer cutters or lines specified by the
manufacturer. Do not replace the trimmer
cutters or lines with metal wires or blades.
Incorrect replacement parts may cause loss of
control, breakage and injury.
