BOUNCEUNDERTHESHIELD

Always wear proper eye protection against thrown objects. Objects can bounce up at you from the ground under the debris shield, or ricochet off any nearby hard surface.

Do not trim at high blade or line speeds near roadways when there is traffic, or in places where there are pedestrians. If you must trim where people are in the zone of risk (see page 11) use a much lower or reduced blade or line speed, by using a partial trigger setting.

Do not push the line into tough weeds, trees, or wire fences. Pushing the line into chicken wire, chain link fencing or thick brush can result in snapped-off line ends being hurled back at the operator. The proper way is to cut right up to a barrier, such as any of those mentioned, but never run the line into or through the obstruction. Do not cut closely to obstruction or barrier.

Avoid trimmer line contact with broken wire fencing. Pieces of wire broken off by the trimmer can be hurled at high speeds.

WARNING DANGER

Do not trim in any area where there are broken strands of fencing wire. Remove the broken pieces of wire, or give the are wide berth. Wear proper safety protection. Do no cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is cutting.
