SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cuttin g attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose ob-
jects from being thrown towards the opera-

Use of incorrectly wound trimmer line or an
incorrect cutting attachment increases the
level of vibration.

level and to direct the exhaust gases away
from the operator .

haust gases.
