■WORK GEAR AND CLOTHING
•When using your hedge-trimmer, always be sure to wear strong, durable, work clothing; shirts should be long-sleeved shirts and pants should be full-length pants reaching down to the ankles.
•Always be sure to wear and helmet and face protector when using your hedge- trimmer.
•When using your hedge-trimmer, always be sure to wear thick work gloves to protect your hands and non-slip-sole work boots to prevent you from slipping. Never use your hedge-trimmer when wearing pants with loose cuffs, when wearing sandals, or when barefoot.
•When using your hedge-trimmer for an extended period of time, you should wear ear protectors to protect yourself from loss of hearing from overexposure to high levels of sound.
■WARNINGS CONSIDERING HANDLING OF FUEL
•The engine of the RedMax hedge-trimmer is designed to run on a mixed fuel which contains highly flammable gasoline. This fuel is highly flammable and you should never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of the hedge-trimmer in any place where there is a boiler, stove, wood fire, electrical sparks, welding sparks, or any other source of heat or fire which might ignite the fuel.
•Smoking while operating the hedge-trimmer or refilling its fuel tank is extremely dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit cigarettes away from the hedge-trimmer at all times.
•When refilling the tank always turn off the engine first and take a careful look around to make sure that there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refueling.
•If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling, always be sure to use a dry rag to wipe any fuel which has been spilled onto the hedge- trimmer before turning the engine back on again.
•After refueling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the hedge-trimmer to a spot 10 feet or more away from where it was refueled before turning on the engine.
