TRIMMER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION   
The Honda HHT25S and HHT31S trimmer/brush 
cutters are designed to cut grass, weeds, brush, 
and/or wood if equipped with an appropriate 
cutting attachment. Other uses can result in injury 
to the operator or damage to the trimmer and 
other property.
These Honda trimmers are intended for use by 
gardening professionals. Never allow children to 
operate the trimmer.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all 
instructions in this manual and on the trimmer. 
The most common hazards are discussed below, 
along with the best way to protect yourself and 
others.
Always Wear Eye Protection and Protective 
Clothing
The most frequent injuries associated with 
string trimmers are eye injuries caused by 
thrown debris. Always wear safety glasses or 
goggles that meet the ANSI Z87.1 rating 
whenever you use the trimmer.
The operator must wear hearing protectors 
when using this trimmer. Hearing protectors 
will protect the operator's ears from noise 
damage.
Wearing protective clothing also reduces the 
risk and severity of injury from thrown debris or 
contact with the cutting attachment. Wear the 
trimmer harness, gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, 
long pants, and sturdy boots with nonslip 
soles.
See page 14 for more information.
Keep Away From Cutting Lines and Blades
A spinning cutting blade can cut through your 
clothes and skin just as easily as it cuts 
through grass and dirt. Keep all parts of your 
body away from a spinning cutting attachment.
Even after the engine has stopped, the cutting 
attachment will spin for several seconds. Do 
not touch it until it has stopped spinning, or 
you may get cut.
Turn the Engine Off When Not Trimming
If you stop trimming or cutting for any reason, 
even to clean off the cutting attachment, always 
shut off the engine.
Keep People Away From Your Working Area
To prevent injury to others, keep people at least 
50 feet (15 meters) away from the working area 
during operation.
Always Wear the Harness When Trimming
The harness keeps the trimmer away from your 
body, lowering your chances of being cut by the 
trimmer’s blade or cutting line.
Read This Manual Before Using the Trimmer
Read the manual before operating the trimmer. 
Understand how to use all the controls and obey 
all warnings.
Clear the Working Area First
Objects thrown by the trimmer can cause serious 
injury. Before operating the trimmer, carefully 
inspect the area and remove any broken glass, 
pieces of wire, and other loose objects.
Keep the Trimmer Properly Maintained
The cutting attachment should be examined 
for looseness, cracks, broken parts, or 
excessive wear. Tighten or replace as needed 
before operating the trimmer.
Do not operate the trimmer without a debris 
shield properly installed. Make sure you have 
the right shield installed for your cutting 
attachment.
