LINE TRIMMER SAFETY

WARNING: Inspect the area to be trimmed before each use. Remove

objects (rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, etc.) which can be thrown by or become entangled in line. Hard ob- jects can damage the trimmer head and be thrown causing serious injury.

•Use only for trimming, scalping, mow- ing and sweeping. Do not use for edging, pruning or hedge trimming.

•Cut only from your left to your right. Cutting on right side of the shield will

throw debris away from the operator.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

For each optional

attachment used, read entire opera- tor's manual before use and follow all

warnings and instructions in manual and on attachment.

_I_WARNING: Ensure handlebar is

installed when using edger or brush- cutter attachments. Attach handlebar above arrow on safety label on the up- per shaft (engine end of unit). If your edger or brushcutter attachment does not include a handlebar, a handlebar accessory kit (#530071451 ) is avail- able from your Sears Service Center.

•Do not attempt to remove cut materi- al nor hold material to be cut when

the engine is running or when cut- ting blade is moving.

•Always keep the wheel and depth adjusting skid in contact with the ground.

•Always push the unit slowly over the ground. Stay alert for uneven side- walks, holes in the terrain, large roots, etc.

BLOWER/VACUUM SAFETY

_,WARNING:

Inspect area before

starting unit. Remove all debris and hard objects such as rocks, glass, wire, etc. that can ricochet, be thrown, or otherwise cause injury or damage during operation.

•Do not set unit on any surface ex- cept a clean, hard area while engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc., could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through discharge open- ing, damaging unit, property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or operator.

•Never place objects inside the blow- er tubes, vacuum tubes or blower outlet. Always direct the blowing de- bris away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects such as trees, automobiles, walls, etc. The force of air can cause rocks, dirt, or sticks to be thrown or to ricochet

which can hurt people or animals, break glass, or cause other damage.

•Never run unit without the proper equipment attached. When using

your unit as a blower, always install blower tubes.

•Check air intake opening, blower tubes or vacuum tubes frequently, always with engine stopped and spark plug disconnected. Keep

vents and discharge tubes free of debris which can accumulate and

restrict proper air flow.

•Never place any object in air intake opening as this could restrict proper

air flow and cause damage to the unit.
