RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
3
• Avoid dangerous environments. Never
operate your unit in damp or wet conditions.
Moisture is a shock hazard.
• Do not use the unit in the rain.
• Do not handle the unit with wet hands.
• Children and teens under the age of 15 must
not use the unit, except for teens guided by
an adult.
• Use only 0.080 in (2.03 mm) diameter
genuine Ryobi replacement line. Never use
metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope, etc..
These can break off and become a
dangerous projectile.
• Be aware of the risk of injury to the head,
hands and feet.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string which can be
thrown or become entangled in the cutting
attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep
all children, bystanders and pets outside a
50 ft. (15m) radius; there still may be a risk
to bystanders from thrown objects.
Bystanders should be encouraged to wear
eye protection. If you are approached, stop
the motor and cutting attachment
immediately.
