Safety Precautions
WORK GEAR AND CLOTHING
• When using your hedge-trimmer, always be
sure to wear strong, durable, work clothing;
shirts should be long-sleeved shirts and
pants should be full-length pants reaching
down to the ankles.
• Always be sure to wear and helmet and
face protector when using your hedge-
trimmer.
• When using your hedge-trimmer, always be
sure to wear thick work gloves to protect
your hands and non-slip-sole work boots to
prevent you from slipping. Never use your
hedge-trimmer when wearing pants with
loose cuffs, when wearing sandals, or
when barefoot.
• When using your hedge-trimmer for an
extended period of time, you should wear
ear protectors to protect yourself from loss
of hearing from overexposure to high levels
of sound.
WARNINGS CONSIDERING HANDLING OF FUEL
• The engine of the RedMax hedge-trimmer
is designed to run on a mixed fuel which
contains highly flammable gasoline. This
fuel is highly flammable and you should
never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of
the hedge-trimmer in any place where
there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical
sparks, welding sparks, or any other source
of heat or fire which might ignite the fuel.
• Smoking while operating the hedge-trimmer
or refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the hedge-trimmer at
all times.
• When refilling the tank always turn off the
engine first and take a careful look around
to make sure that there are no sparks or
open flames anywhere nearby before
refueling.
• If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling,
always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe any
fuel which has been spilled onto the hedge-
trimmer before turning the engine back on
again.
• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the
hedge-trimmer to a spot 10 feet or more
away from where it was refueled before
turning on the engine.
