If the MultiTool or deflector becomes clogged or stuck, always switch off the engine and make sure the attachment has stopped before cleaning. Grass, moss, weeds, etc. should be cleaned off the attachment as necessary. 5m (16ft) To reduce the risk of eye and other injury ensure that bystanders are at least 16 feet (5 m) away. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. To reduce the risk of damage to property, also maintain this distance from such objects as vehicles or windows. Stop the engine immediately if you are approached. WARNING Before you start work, examine the area for stones, glass, pieces of metal, rubbish or other solid objects.
