WARNING

current ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Operators
that wear prescription glasses must wear
appropriate protective eyewear over glasses.
For additional safety, a full-face shield may
be worn over the safety eyewear to provide
complete face protection.
If parts are missing, or if you have a problem
installing parts, contact your Dealer for
assistance or call Consumer Product Support.
DANGER
Metal grass, weed, brush, and clearing blade edg-
es are extremely sharp. Accidental hand or body
contact with blade edges can result in severe cuts,
even if the engine is off and blades are not moving.
Always wear sturdy work gloves when handling
blades. Do not allow blades to contact any part of
your body. Work gloves do not provide protection
from contact with moving blades. Always keeps
hands and body away from moving blades.
NEVER fuel, start, or operate your unit unless it is fully
assembled, all shields and required guards are in place,
and the throttle lock-out lever and trigger are working
properly.
NEVER install any other type of blade, line head, cutting
attachment, part, or accessory on your trimmer/brushcutter
unless it is approved for use on your specic
model. Parts and accessories that appear to t
properly may create a safety hazard when the unit
is operated, and could result in serious injury to
operator and bystanders.
ALWAYS use the correct tools for assembly. Using
incorrect or improperly sized tools can result in a
sudden slip and serious injuries.
ALWAYS follow the assembly instructions in order, as shown in the Operator’s
Manual. Improper assembly can result in sudden part failure, and serious
injuries.
