To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Do not use the grass/weed trimmer with worn or damaged parts. Parts must be
replaced, or repaired. Replace worn or damaged parts with Honda genuine
parts. Non equivalent quality parts may damage the machine and be prejudicial
to your safety.
• When shouldering the grass/weed trimmer, take care not to touch the throttle
lever. Failure to do so may increase the engine speed and result in starting the
cutting attachment rotation, which can cause serious injury.
• Hold the grass/weed trimmer firmly with both hands, with your fingers and
thumbs encircling the handles as shown. While operating the grass/weed
trimmer, always you have the risks of kick back and blade thrust. This will help
you to keep the trimmer under control at all times.
– Keep firm footing and balance.
– Do not overreach.
– Keep the cutting attachment below your knee height.
– Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment and
hot surfaces.
