Before Operating; Rules For Safe Operation; Electrical Safety Warnings - Troy-Bilt TB32CS Manual Del Operador

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your
attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols,
and their explanations, deserve your careful attention
and understanding. The safety warnings do not by
themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or
warnings they give are not substitutes for proper
accident prevention measures.
SYMBOL MEANING
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates danger,
warning or caution. Attention is required in
order to avoid serious personal injury. May be
used in conjunction with other symbols or
pictographs.
NOTE: Advises you of information or instructions vital
to the operation or maintenance of the
equipment.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: When using electric gardening
appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury. Carefully
read and understand the entire operator's
manual before using your trimmer. Pay close
attention to the operating instructions and
safety warnings.

BEFORE OPERATING

• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and proper use of the unit.
• Do not operate this unit when tired, ill or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Children and teens under the age of 15 must not use
the unit, except for teens guided by an adult.
• Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts.
Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure.
Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked,
chipped or damaged in any way. Make sure the
cutting attachment is properly installed and securely
fastened. Be sure the cutting attachment shield is
properly attached, and positioned as recommended.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury to the
operator and bystanders, as well as damage to the
unit.
• Use only 0.080 inch ( 2.03 mm) diameter genuine
factory parts replacement line. Never use metal-
reinforced line, wire or rope. These can break off and
become dangerous projectiles.
• Be aware of the risk of injury to the head, hands and feet.

• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire or
string. They can be thrown or become entangled in the
cutting attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children,
bystanders and pets outside a 50-foot (15 m.) radius;
there still may be a risk to bystanders from thrown
objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
eye protection. If you are approached, stop the motor
and cutting attachment immediately.
• This unit was not designed to be used as a
brushcutter. Do not attach or operate this unit with any
type of brushcutting blade or brushcutting attachment.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Since the tool is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension
cord (an extension cord without a ground) may be
used. A 3-wire extension cord (an extension cord with
a ground) that uses a NEMA type connector (parallel
blade, U ground) is recommended. Extension cords
are available from your local retailer. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
WARNING : To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, use only SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or
SJTOW-A cord types.
• This tool is double-insulated. Use only identical
replacement parts when servicing. Repair or replace
damaged cords.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
unit will fit with a polarized plug in one way only. If the
plug does not fit fully into the unit, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, use a cord with the correct
connection. Do not modify the unit in any way.
