objects:
– Keep the cutting attachment at ground level, parallel
to the ground.

operator or bystanders from contact with the cutting
attachment:

with your hand or any other part of your
body.

is running.

operator or bystanders from loss of control, keep proper
footing and balance at all times:
– Make sure you have good balance and a secure
footing at all times.
– Never work on a ladder or while standing on any
other insecure support.
