WARNING!
A standard grass trimmer unit with loop
handle should NEVER be operated with
blade­type attachments. For blade use,
the trimmer must be fitted with a bicycle-
type handlebar or barrier bar that is lo­
cated in front of the operator to reduce the
risk of the operator coming in contact with
the cutting attachment. (Per ANSI B175.3).
When using a blade, the unit must be
equipped with a harness or strap.
