f) Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting unit, especially when you switch on the
engine.
g) Treat the cutter that is used to cut the length of trimming line with care – you could injure
yourself with it. After you've pulled out a new thread always keep the machine in its normal
working position before switching it on.
h) Never use anything other than the correct nylon cutting line.
i) Never use spare parts and accessories not provided or recommended by the manufacturer.
j) Make sure that any ventilation holes are free from dirt. If required, use a vacuum to clear
obstructions.
k) Kickback
- Never use the trimmer in the blade angle between 12-and-2 o'clock.
- Never use such a blade angle for cutting solid materials such as bushes, roots etc whose diameter
is greater than 3cm, because the trimmer could then be violently projected to the side and may
cause injury.
- This uncontrolled kickback of the blade is more likely to occur when the user cannot see the
material being cut.
- This uncontrolled kickback can cause serious injury or even death, to the user or other people or
animals. Always keep people and animals at least 15m away from the machine
l) Switch off the tool when transporting to and from the area to be worked on or between two
working areas.
m) Protect yourself against injury hazard resulting from accidental contact with the Nylon line
trimming blade.
n) After refilling the spool, pull the line with your hands, and then always turn the tool to its normal
operation position before switching on.
o) Do not press with your hand on the spool to feed the line, as the spool may be hot.
p) Remove any grass or debris from the spool before refilling the line or changing the spool.
