Sears 172.79183 Edger User Manual


 
SAFETY SYMBOLS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The
safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and
understanding. The symbol warnings DO NOT by themselves eliminate any danger.
The instructions and warnings they give are no substitutes for proper accident
prevention measures.
