WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration,
and foot protection when operating or servicing
the Edger.
DISPOSE OF SAWING BY-PRODUCTS PROPERLY
WARNING! Maintain a clean and clear path for all necessary
movement around the Edger and lumber stacking areas. Failure to
do so will result in serious injury.
IMPORTANT! Always properly dispose of all sawing by-products,
including sawdust and other debris, coolant, oil, fuel, oil filters and
fuel filters.
USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES
DANGER! Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames,
burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources away at all times.
Always wear safety goggles and a face shield when working near
batteries. Failure to do so will cause serious injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING! Charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Do not
attempt to charge a frozen battery.
CAUTION! Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging may
reduce the overall service life of the battery.
CAUTION! Be sure the battery is fully charged before transporting
the edger. If the battery is not fully charged, excessive vibration
could reduce the overall service life of the battery.
HANDLE FUEL/LUBRICANTS SAFELY
DANGER! Due to the flammable nature of fuel and oil, never

pull the trailer equally in the event the hitch became disengaged.
Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury and/or severe
machine damage
