the machine with both hands
will avoid loss of control.
l) Hold the machine by the
insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line
or blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting line or blades
contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of
the machine "live" and could
give the operator an electric
shock.
m)Always keep proper footing
and operate the machine only
when standing on the ground.
Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance
or control of the machine.
n) Do not operate the machine on
excessively steep slopes. This
reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling
which may result in personal
injury.
o) When working on slopes, always
be sure of your footing, always
work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise
extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk
of loss of control, slipping and
falling which may result in
personal injury.
p) Keep all parts of the body away
from the cutter, line or blade
when the machine is operating.
Before you start the machine,
make sure the cutter, line or

blade is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while
operating the machine may
result in injury to yourself or
others.
q) Do not operate the machine
above waist height. This helps
prevent unintended cutter or
blade contact and enables
better control of the machine
in unexpected situations.
r) When cutting brush or saplings
that are under tension, be alert
for spring back. When the
tension in the wood fibres is
released, the brush or sapling
may strike the operator and/
or throw the machine out of
control.
s) Use extreme caution when
cutting brush and saplings. The
slender material may catch
the blade and be whipped
toward you or pull you off
balance.
t) Maintain control of the machine
and do not touch cutters, lines
or blades and other hazardous
moving parts while they are
still in motion. This reduces
the risk of injury from moving
parts.
u) Carry the machine with the
machine switched off and
away from your body. Proper
handling of the machine
will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with a
