Safety Precautions
■ Work gear and clothing
•When using your trimmer, always be 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 trimmer.
•When using your trimmer, always be sure
to wear thick work gloves to protect your
hands and non-slip-sole work boots to
prevent you from slipping. Never use your
trimmer when wearing pants with loose
cuffs, when wearing sandals, or when
barefoot.
•When using your trimmer for an extended
period of time, you should wear ear
protectors to protect yourself from loss of
hearing from overexposure to high levels of
sound.
■ Warnings considering handling of fuel
• The engine of the RedMax® trimmer 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 trimmer 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 trimmer or
refilling its fuel tank is extremely
dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit
cigarettes away from the trimmer 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
trimmer before turning the engine back on
again.
• After refueling, screw the fuel cap back
tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the
trimmer to a spot 10 feet or more away
from where it was refueled before turning
on the engine.
