Grass trimmer safety warnings

Do not operate the machine in rain or wet conditions.
u
This may increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not use the machine in bad weather conditions,
u
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
Thoroughly inspect the area for wildlife where the
u
machine is to be used. Wildlife may be injured by the
machine during operation.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is
u
to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones
and other foreign objects. Thrown objects can cause
personal injury.
Before using the machine, always visually inspect to
u
see that the cutter and the cutter assembly are not
damaged. Damaged parts increase the risk of injury.
Before use, check the supply cord and any extension
u
cord for signs of damage or aging. Do not use the
machine if the cord is damaged or worn. If the cord is
damaged or worn during use, switch off the machine
and do not touch the cord before disconnecting it from
the supply. A damaged supply cord or extension cord may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Follow instructions for changing accessories.
u
Improperly tightened cutter-securing nuts or bolts
may either damage the cutter or result in it becoming
detached.
The rated rotational speed of the cutter must be at
u
least equal to the maximum rotational speed marked
on the machine. Cutters running faster than their rated
rotational speed can break and fly apart.
Wear eye, ear, head and hand protection. Adequate
u
protective equipment will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the cutting line.
While operating the machine, always wear non-slip
u
and protective footwear. Do not operate the machine
when barefoot or wearing open sandals. This reduces
the chance of injury to the feet from contact with the
moving cutter.
While operating the machine, always wear long
u
trousers. Exposed skin increases the likelihood of injury
from thrown objects.
Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
u
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
Always use two hands when operating the machine.
u
Hold the machine with both hands to avoid loss of control.
Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces only,
u
because the cutting line may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting line contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the machine "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Keep the supply cord away from the cutter. A
u
damaged supply cord may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the machine
u
only when standing on the ground. Slippery or
unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or control
of the machine.
Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
u
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
When working on slopes, always be sure of your
u
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting
u
line when the machine is operating. Before you
start the machine, make sure the cutting line is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating the machine may result in injury to yourself
or others.
Do not operate the machine above waist height.
u
This helps prevent unintended cutter contact and
enables better control of the machine in unexpected
situations.
Maintain control of the machine and do not touch
u
hazardous moving parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving
parts.
Carry the machine with the machine switched
u
off and away from your body. Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving cutter.
Only use replacement cutting lines and cutting
u
heads specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage
and injury.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
u
machine, make sure all power switches are off and
the battery is removed. Unexpected actuation of the
machine while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
