◾ ◾
Maintain Trimmer With Care - Keep the cutting attachment clean for best
performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow the instructions for changing
accessories. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
◾ ◾
Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the trimmer, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.
◾ ◾
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or string that can be thrown or become entangled in the
cutting attachment. Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 100 ft.
(30.5m) away.
◾ ◾
Always hold the trimmer firmly, with both hands on the handles, while
operating. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the handles.
◾ ◾
Avoid Accidentally Starting - Don't carry the trimmer with your finger on
the trigger.
◾ ◾
Do not operate the trimmer in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors
in these appliances normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
◾ ◾
Damage to Trimmer - If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it
becomes entangled, stop the tool immediately, check for damage and have any
damage repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a
broken guard or spool.
◾ ◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
A loose head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result
in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly fixed
in position. If the head loosens after fixing it in position, replace it immediately.
Never use a trimmer with a loose cutting attachment.
◾ ◾
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head immediately, even
if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at
high speed and cause serious or fatal injury.
◾ ◾
Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals during operation,
or immediately if there is a noticeable change in cutting behavior.
