Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your trimmer or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles. Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED. WARNING: In order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs, always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact plug. CAUTION: Muffler and other engine parts become extremely hot during operation and remain hot after engine has stopped. To avoid severe burns on contact, stay away from these areas. WARNING: This trimmer is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the state of California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your nearest Sears Service Centre/Department in Canada (see the REPAIR PARTS section of this manual). I. GENERAL OPERATION • Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before starting. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine before starting. • Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. • Keep all parts of your body away from muffler and spinning line. A hot muffler can cause serious burns. • Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine. • Stay away from breakable objects, such as house windows, auto glass, greenhouses, etc. • Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, bones, sticks, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the spinning lines. • Be sure the area is clear of other people before trimming, particularly small children and pets. Stop machine if anyone enters the area. • Wear appropriate clothing such as a longsleeved shirt or jacket. Also wear long trousers or slacks. Do not wear shorts. • Do not wear loose clothing which could get caught in this equipment. • Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Always wear work gloves and sturdy footwear. Leather work shoes or short boots work well for most people. These will protect the operator's ankles and shins from small sticks, splinters, and other debris, and improve traction. • Do not pull machine backwards unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while moving backwards. • Do not operate the machine without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place. 2 15
