Preparing to Use Your Trimmer
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the Trimmer and in the manual. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the mower and trimmer before starting.
•
Never operate the NEUTON Trimmer without the proper guard.
•
Do not alter any aspect of the Trimmer in any way. Modifying or changing your Trimmer in any way could cause personal
injuries and property damage, and will void your warranty.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where you will be using the Trimmer, and remove all stones, lawn toys, wire, bones, sticks, pet
supplies, and any other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the Trimmer Cord. Objects struck by the
Trimmer Cord can cause severe injuries. Also, note the location of holes, ruts, bumps, stumps, and other possible hazards
to avoid.
•
Trim only in daylight or in an area well lit by artificial light.
Operating Your Trimmer Safely
•
Always stop the Trimmer, wait for the Cord to stop moving, and remove the Safety Key whenever you leave the operating
position (behind the handlebar) for any reason. In addition, remove the Battery when inspecting and cleaning the
Trimmer, making adjustments, and attaching or removing the Trimmer.
•
Never insert the Safety Key into the Mower until you are ready to operate the Mower. Store the Safety Key away from
children and people not authorized to use the Mower.
•
The Cutting Cord always turns when the Motor is running. To quickly stop the Trimmer's Motor – simply release the
orange Control Bar. Remember that the Cord will continue to rotate for up to three (3) seconds after you release the
Control Bar.
•
Do not put your hands or feet near the rotating Cord. Keep clear of the discharge area at all times.
•
Never operate the Trimmer in the rain or when the grass is wet. Always be sure of your footing.
•
Keep a firm hold on the Handlebar, and walk – never run.
•
Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
•
Watch out for traffic when trimming near roadways.
•
Stop the Trimmer when crossing over loose materials such as gravel drives, walks, or roads, as objects discharged by the
Trimmer can be hazardous.
•
Do not operate the Trimmer when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
•
Remove the Safety Key when the machine is not in use.
•
Use extreme caution when maneuvering backwards. Always stop the motor, look first to check your footing, look down
and behind you before moving backwards.
•
Do not use your NEUTON Trimmer for any job other than the intended use.
•
Do not operate the Trimmer if it does not start normally or stop normally when you release the Control Bar.
