5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Wait for the cutting attachment to stop before walking with the trimmer or putting it down. ■ The rotating cutting attachment may fling foreign objects directly or by ricochet a great distance. Thrown objects, including broken cutting attachments, may cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders. To reduce the risk of severe personal injury: - Inspect the work area. Remove stones, glass, pieces of metal or other objects that could be thrown by the cutting attachment, damage the cutting attachment or cause damage to property (e.g., parked vehicles, windows). 15m (50ft) - Always wear proper eye protection and keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away from the work area. Any persons who must enter the restricted area must also wear proper eye protection. - To reduce the risk of damage to property, also maintain this distance from such objects as vehicles and windows. - Maintaining a minimum distance of 50 ft. (15 m) cannot eliminate the potential risk of personal injury and property damage from thrown objects. - Switch off the motor immediately if you are approached while working with the trimmer. ■ Your trimmer is equipped with a deflector. To reduce the risk of personal injury from thrown objects and contact with the cutting attachment: English - Never operate the trimmer with a damaged or missing deflector. - The cutting attachment and deflector must be an approved combination. - Keep the deflector properly adjusted at all times. ■ Use of metal cutting attachments, wire or metal-reinforced line or other non-approved cutting attachments is not authorized and could be extremely dangerous. - Never use metal blades or metalreinforced line on this trimmer. Use only the cutting attachments recommended in this manual, in combination with the recommended deflector. See Combinations of Deflectors and Cutting Attachments, @ 24. ■ To reduce the risk of severe personal injuries from unintentional starting: - Never touch the cutting attachment or mowing head with your hand, feet or any other part of your body while the battery is inserted, even when the cutting attachment is not moving. Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away. - Remove the battery before installing or adjusting the bump guard. - Switch off the motor and remove the battery before inspecting a mowing head, cutting attachment or deflector. Clean dirt, grass, weeds and other material from the mowing head and deflector at regular intervals, but only after removing the battery. 0458-833-8621-A 13
