influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
• Children and teens under the age of 15 must not use

• Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts.
Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in

objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire or
string. They 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-foot (15 m.) radius;
there still may be a risk to bystanders from thrown
