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.
Always
make sure
the appropriate cutting
attachment shield is
correctly installed.
If contact is made with a
hard object, stop the engine
and inspect the cutting
attachment for damage.
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.
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.
