Be extremely careful of slippery terrain, especially during rainy weather.
If contact is made with a hard object, stop the engine and inspect the cutting attachment for damage.
Be constantly alert for objects and debris that could be thrown either from the rotating cutting attachment or bounced from a hard surface.
Beware of a coasting blade when brushcutting or edging. A coasting blade can injure while it continues to spin after the throttle trigger is released or after the engine is stopped.
