Be Aware of the Working Environment (all units)
Avoid long-term operation
in very hot or very cold
weather.
Make sure bystanders or observers
outside the 50-foot “danger zone”
wear eye protection.
Be extremely
careful of
slippery terrain,
especially during
rainy weather.
ALWAYS make sure
the appropriate cutting
attachment shield is
correctly installed.
If contact is made with
a hard object, stop the
engine and inspect the
cutting attachment for
damage.
Be constantly alert for objects
and debris that could be thrown
either from the rotating cutting
attachment or bounced from a
hard surface.
Reduce the risk of
bystanders being struck
by flying debris. Make
sure no one is within 50
feet (15 meters)—that’s
about 16 paces—of an
operating attachment.
Beware of a coasting blade when brushcutting
or edging. A coasting blade can injure while
it continues to spin after the throttle trigger is
released or after the engine is stopped.

ALWAYS clear your work area of trash or hidden debris that could be
thrown back at you or toward a bystander. When operating in rocky terrain
or near electric wires or fences, use extreme caution to avoid contacting such
items with the cutting attachment.
