Always wear a shoulder strap or

a harness when operating a unit

equipped with a blade.

Wear appropriate footwear (non-skid

boots or shoes): do not wear open-

toed shoes or sandals. Never work

barefooted!

The Properly Equipped Operator

Wear hearing protection devices

and a broad-brimmed hat or helmet.

Wear close-tting clothing to protect legs

and arms. Gloves offer added protection

and are strongly recommended. Do not

wear clothing or jewelry that could get

caught in machinery or underbrush.

NEVER wear shorts!

Always wear eye protection such as

goggles or safety glasses.

Always operate with both hands

rmly gripping the unit.

When operating with a blade, make sure

the handle is positioned to provide you with

maximum protection from contacting the blade.

Keep away from the rotating trimming

line or blade at all times, and never lift a

moving attachment above waist-high.

Keep a proper

footing and do not

overreach—maintain

your balance at

all times during

operation.

Always make sure the appropriate

cutting attachment shield is correctly

installed.

Be Aware of the Working Environment

Avoid long-term

operation in very hot or

very cold weather.

Make sure bystanders or

observers outside the 50-

foot “danger zone” wear eye

protection.

Be extremely careful of slippery

terrain, especially during rainy

weather.

Beware of a coasting

blade when brushcutting

or edging. A coasting

blade can injure while it

continues to spin after

the throttle trigger is

released or after the

engine is stopped.

When operating in rocky terrain or

near electric wires or fences, use

extreme caution to avoid contacting

such items with the cutting

attachment.

Be constantly alert for objects and debris

that could be thrown either from the rotating

cutting attachment or bounced from a hard

surface.

If contact is made with a hard

object, stop the engine and

inspect the cutting attachment for

damage.

50 FEET

Reduce the risk

of bystanders

being struck by

ying debris. Make

sure no one is

within 50 feet (15

meters)—that’s

about 16 paces—of

an operating

attachment.
