16. Do not operate the machine on excessively steep slopes. This
reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which may result
in personal injury.
17. When working on slopes, always be sure of your footing, always
work across the face of slopes, never up or down and exercise
extreme caution when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in personal injury.
18. Keep the supply cord away from the cutter, line or blade. A
damaged supply cord may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
19. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line or blade when
the machine is operating. Before you start the machine, make sure
the cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating the machine may result in injury to yourself
or others.
20. Do not operate the machine above waist height. This helps prevent
unintended cutter or blade contact and enables better control of the
machine in unexpected situations.
21. When cutting brush or saplings that are under tension, be alert for
spring back. When the tension in the wood fibers is released, the
brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or throw the machine out
of control.
22. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
23. Maintain control of the machine and do not touch cutters, lines or
blades and other hazardous moving parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.
24. When clearing jammed material or servicing the machine, make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is removed. Unexpected
starting of the machine while clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
25. Carry the machine with the machine switched off and away from
your body. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with a moving cutter, line, or blade.
26. When transporting or storing the machine, always fit the cover on
metal blades. Proper handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the blade.
27. Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads and blades
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may
increase the risk of breakage and injury.
