_i, WARNING:
This trimmer is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should
not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered,
brush-covered
or grass-covered
land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting ap-
plicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in
effective working order by the operator.
In the state of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California
Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest Sears
service center (see the REPAIR PARTS section of this manual).
The operation of any trimmer can result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your trimmer or performing any
adjustments
or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a
wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
