
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
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
Never use blades, flailing devices, wire, or rope. Unit is designed for string trimmer use only. Use of any
