Safety Precautions

■Work gear and clothing

•When using your brushcutter, 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 helmet and face protector when using your brushcutter.

•When using your brushcutter, 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 brushcutter when wearing pants with loose cuffs, when wearing sandals, or when barefoot.

•When using your brushcutter 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® brushcutter 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 brushcutter 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 brushcutter or refilling its fuel tank is extremely dangerous. Always be sure to keep lit cigarettes away from the brushcutter 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 brushcutter before turning the engine back on again.

•After refueling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the brushcutter to a spot 10 feet (3m) or more away from where it was refueled before turning on the engine.
