o) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade when the machine is
operating . Before you start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade is not
contacting anything . A moment of inattention while operating the machine may result
in injury to yourself or others.
p) Do not operate the machine above waist height . This helps prevent unintended
cutter or blade contact and enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
q) When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fibers is released, the brush or sapling may strike the
operator and/or throw the machine out of control.
r) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings . The slender material may
catch the blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
s) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines or blades and
other hazardous moving parts while they are still in motion . This reduces the risk
of injury from moving parts.
t) 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
cutter, line or blade.
u) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades specified by the
manufacturer . Incorrect replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage and
injury.
v) When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine, make sure the switch
is off and the battery pack is removed . Unexpected starting of the machine while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
w) Use only with the battery packs and chargers listed below:

x) Damage to Trimmer - If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it becomes
entangled, stop the tool immediately, check for damage and have any damage repaired
before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or spool.
y) If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check
immediately for the cause . Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose head
may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result in serious or fatal
injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly fixed in position. If the head
loosens after fixing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a
loose cutting attachment.
