ing head before starting work and at regular short intervals
thereafter.

directions. To reduce risk of injury to oper‐
ator, never operate a trimmer without a
properly configured and mounted deflec‐
tor. Keep bystanders at least 15 m (50 ft.)
away.
To reduce risk of eye injury, always wear goggles or
close-fitting protective glasses with adequate side
protection that are impact-rated and marked as com‐
plying with ANSI Z87.1 (US), EN 166 (Europe) or
