VII. String Trimmer safety
1. Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions, especially
when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being
struck by lightning.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the machine is to
be used. Wildlife may be injured by the machine during operation.
3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used
and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign
objects. Thrown objects can cause personal injury.
4. Before using the machine, always visually inspect to see that
the cutter or blade and the cutter or blade assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
5. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Improperly
tightened blade securing nuts or bolts may either damage the blade
or result in it becoming detached.

the maximum rotational speed marked on the machine. Blades
running faster than their rated rotational speed can break and fly
apart.
7. Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental
contact with the cutting line or blade.
8. While operating the machine, always wear non-slip and
protective footwear. Do not operate the machine when barefoot
or wearing open sandals. This reduces the chance of injury to the
feet from contact with the moving cutters or lines.
