attachment perpendicular to the ground
may increase the risk of injury, since
the cutting attachment is more fully
exposed and the trimmer may be more
difficult to control. Never use your
trimmer as a hedge trimmer.
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.
Do not operate using the starting
throttle lock as you do not have control
of the engine speed. See section of your
owner’s manual on the proper use of the
slide control.
Before cutting, inspect the
area for stones, glass,
pieces of metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could
throw objects of this kind.
If the cutting tool or deflector becomes
clogged or stuck, always turn off the
engine and make sure the cutting tool
has stopped, before cleaning. Grass,
weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the
cutting tool at regular intervals.
