BEFORE OPERATION       
ARE YOU READY TO OPERATE THE 
TRIMMER?
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time 
spent in preparation will significantly reduce your 
risk of injury.
Knowledge
Read and understand this manual. Know what 
the controls do and how to operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the trimmer and its 
operation before you begin to use it. Know what 
to do in case of emergencies.
Physical and Mental Readiness
You must be alert and in good physical condition 
to operate the trimmer. Do not operate the 
trimmer if you are tired, ill, or under the influence 
of alcohol, medication, or any substance that 
might impair your vision, dexterity, or judgment.
If you have any physical problem that may be 
aggravated by strenuous work, consult your 
physician before operating the trimmer.
Protective Clothing 
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk 
of injury. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, 
short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Secure hair 
so it is above shoulder level.
Eye, Face, and Head Protection
Always wear safety glasses or goggles that 
comply with ANSI standard Z87.1 to protect your 
eyes from thrown objects. Prescription glasses 
may be worn under the safety glasses or goggles.
A helmet with a face shield is recommended for 
further protection. However, safety glasses or 
goggles should always be worn under the face 
shield. Do not rely on a face shield alone to 
protect your eyes.
Wearing a dust mask will help to reduce the 
amount of pollens and dust inhaled.
Hearing Protection
Hearing protectors will help to protect your ears 
from noise. Earmuff-style hearing protectors can 
also protect your ears from thrown objects.
Hand and Body Protection
Wear gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants 
made of heavy material. Clothing should fit 
closely but allow freedom of movement, and 
should have no strings, straps, etc. that could 
catch on brush or the trimmer. Keep clothing 
fastened.
Foot Protection
Wear sturdy work boots with good toe protection 
and nonslip soles.
IS YOUR WORKING AREA READY?
Objects thrown by the trimmer can cause serious 
injury. Before operating the trimmer, carefully 
inspect the area and remove all objects that 
could be thrown by, or entangled in, the cutting 
attachment, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, 
wire, or string.
Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. 
Keep all children, bystanders, and pets at least 
50 feet (15 meters) away from where the trimmer 
is being operated.
Even outside a 50-foot (15-meter) radius of the 
trimmer, there may be a risk of injury from thrown 
objects, so bystanders should be encouraged to 
wear eye protection.
If anyone approaches you while you are 
operating the trimmer, release the throttle trigger 
and stop the engine.
