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.
Beware of a coasting blade when
edging. A coasting blade can injure
while it continues to spin after the
throttle trigger is released or after
the engine is stopped.
