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 stick edger.

of hearing from overexposure to high levels
of sound.
■ WARNINGS CONSIDERING HANDLING
OF FUEL
• The engine of the RedMax stick edger 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 stick edger 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 stick edger or
refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the stick edger 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 stick
edger before turning the engine back on
again.
• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the
stick edger to a spot 10 feet (3m) or more
away from where it was refueled before
turning on the engine.
