5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

5.6.2

Holding and Controlling the Trimmer

WARNING

￭

To maintain a firm grip and properly control your trimmer:

–

Keep the handles clean and dry at all times. Keep

them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease and resin.

￭

To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries to the

operator or bystanders from loss of control:

–

Always hold the trimmer firmly with both hands when

you are working.

Wrap your fingers tightly around the handles,

keeping the handles cradled between your thumb

and forefinger (see illustration).

–

Position the trimmer in such a way that all parts of

your body are clear of the cutting attachment

whenever the battery is inserted.

￭

Working with the cutting attachment above ground level or

perpendicular to the ground increases the risk of severe

injury from thrown objects. It also exposes more of the

serious or fatal injury from loss of control or thrown objects

when trimming:

Take special care in overgrown or wet terrain and

always watch for hidden obstacles such as tree

stumps, roots, rocks, holes and ditches to avoid

stumbling or falling.
