WARNING!
A standard grass trimmer
with a loop handle should NEVER be
operated with blade-type attachments.
For blade use the trimmer must be
fitted with a bicycle-type handlebar
or a barrier bar that is located in front
of the operator to reduce the risk of
the operator from coming in contact
with the cutting attachment (per ANSI
B175.3). When using a blade, the unit
must also be equipped with a harness
or strap.
