• Faulty cutting attachment can increase the
risk of accidents.
• Do not allow children to use or be in the
vicinity of the product. Since the product is
easy to start, children may be able to start it if
they are not kept under full surveillance. This
can mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Disconnect the battery when the product is
not under close supervision.
• Ensure that no people or animals come
closer than 50 ft (15 m) while you work.

the cutting attachment or loose objects that
are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
However, do not use the product unless you

accident.
• Always inspect the working area. Remove all
loose objects such as stones, broken glass,
nails, steel wire, string, etc., that could be
thrown out or become wrapped around the
cutting attachment.
• Make sure that you can move and stand
safely. Check the area around you for
possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
