To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
• Do not operate the grass/weed trimmer with the grass deflector, labels, and
other parts removed.
Note that the grass deflector is provided for protection of the operator from the
debris that are thrown from the wheeling cutting attachment (nylon-line
cutting heads or cutting blades). Never operate the grass/weed trimmer with
the grass deflector removed or before installing the grass deflector in the
proper position securely.
• Do not mount an incorrect part and do not tamper with the grass/weed
trimmer as it can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. Use the
cutting attachment that is designated for your model and application.
• Before cranking the engine, be sure to check the cutting attachment cannot
come into contact with the ground or any obstruction.
Failure to do so may result in losing control of the grass/weed trimmer, because
the flexible shaft enables the cutting attachment to move freely to any direction
without your intention.
• Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with hands and feet
well away from the cutting attachment.
• Start the grass/weed trimmer on a level surface, free of high grass or obstacle.
• Do not raise the cutting attachment above your knee height during operation.
You can be hit by the debris thrown by the wheeling cutting attachment in your
eyes and face causing injury.
• Never carry the grass/weed trimmer while the cutting attachment is turning.
Before you carry the grass/weed trimmer, be sure to stop the engine and
confirm the cutting attachment stops its turning.
Cover the cutting blade with the protective plastic cover while carrying the
trimmer.
