A lawn trimmer can be dangerous if used incorrectly or
carelessly, and can cause serious or fatal injury to the
operator or others. It is extremely important that you
read and understand the content of this operator's
manual.

whenever you use the machine. Personal protective
equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen.
Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.
WARNING! Listen out for warning signals

protection. Always remove your hearing
protection as soon as the motor stops.

trimmer head.

reduction.
