Be Aware of the Working Environment
Avoid long-term operation
in very hot or very cold
weather.
Make sure bystanders
or observers outside the
50-foot “danger zone”
wear eye protection.
Be extremely careful of
slippery terrain, especially
during rainy weather.
Beware of a coasting blade when brushcutting
or edging. A coasting blade can injure while
it continues to spin after the throttle trigger is
released or after the engine is stopped.
When operating in rocky terrain or near electric wires
or fences, use extreme caution to avoid contacting such
items with the cutting attachment.
Be constantly alert for objects and debris that
could be thrown either from the rotating cutting
attachment or bounced from a hard surface.
If contact is made with a
hard object, stop the engine
and inspect the cutting
attachment for damage.
50
FEET
Reduce the risk of
bystanders being struck
by flying debris. Make
sure no one is within 50
feet (15 meters)—that’s
about 16 paces—of an
operating attachment.
