Safety Precautions

■THINGS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN USING YOUR STICK EDGER

•When using your stick edger, grip the handles of the stick edger firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart (slightly further apart than the width of your shoulders) so that your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always be sure to maintain a steady, even posture while working.

•Maintain the speed of the engine at the level required to perform edging work, and never raise the speed of the engine above the level necessary.

•Always be sure never to allow other persons to come within the work area while edging.

•Be especially careful not to slip if it is raining or if rain has just stopped, as the ground is likely to be slippery at such times.

•Guard against hazardous situations at all times. Warn adults to keep pets and children away from the area. Establish a safe method for gaining your attention during operation. Be careful if you are approached.

•If someone calls out or otherwise interrupts you while working, always be sure to turn off the engine before turning around.

•Keep operation area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Injury may result from flying debris.

•Never touch the spark plug or plug cord while the engine is in operation. Doing so may result in being subjected to an electrical shock.

•Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the engine while the engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down the engine. These metallic parts reach high temperatures during operation and doing so could result in serious burns.

•When you finish edging in one location and wish to continue work in another spot, turn off the engine, and turn the stick edger so that the blades face away from your body before carrying it to the new location.

•Never transport the stick edger over rough roads over long distances without first removing all fuel from the fuel tank, as doing so might cause fuel to leak from the tank as a result of shocks absorbed during transport.

•Never operate the stick edger without the blade guard in place.

•Do not use the stick edger for any job that is not recommended by the manufacturer.

•Should the stick edger start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine immediately and check the blade and other parts for the cause.

•Avoid using the stick edger near rocks, gravel, stones and similar material that could be scattered and cause risk of injury or serious damage.

•Use the stick edger only in daylight or good artificial light.

•Do not use any accessory or attachment other than those bearing the RedMax mark and recommended for the unit.
