For safe use of your product

Turn off the engine when moving around

When moving around in the situations described below, turn off the engine.

Moving to the place where you are working

Moving to another area while you are working

Leaving the place where you have been working

Failure to observe these precautions could cause burns or serious injury.

When transporting the product by car, empty the fuel tank, and secure the product firmly in place to prevent it from

moving around.

Travelling by car with fuel in the tank could lead to a fire.

Keep a firm grip

Hold the front and rear handles with both hands with thumbs and fingers tightly encircling the

handles.

Failure to observe these instructions could lead to an accident.

Vibration and cold

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be

brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning, fol-

lowed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers.

The following precautions are strongly recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment

is unknown.

Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck, feet and ankles, and hands and wrists.

Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by not

smoking.

Limit the number of hours of operation.

Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the trimmer or other hand-held power equipment is not required.

If you experience discomfort redness and swelling of the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult

your physician before exposing yourself further to cold and vibration.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.

Repetitive stress injuries

It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness,

swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities may put

you at a high risk for developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI).

To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:

Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.

Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the

repetitive movement.

Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is diag-

nosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.

Proper training

Do not permit operation without proper training and protective equipment.

Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of unit.

Know how to stop the unit and shut off the engine.

Never allow anyone to use the unit without proper instruction.
