This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds. You must protect yourself and
others from possible injury. Not taking proper precautions can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the
nearby area. Always take the following precautions when using this machine:

Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while trimming to protect your eyes from possible thrown
debris.

Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on the machine’s moving parts.

We recommend wearing gloves while using this machine. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or
drawstrings.
 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your DR 7.25 ALL-TERRAIN TRIMMER/MOWER. If you have safety shoes, we
recommend wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing sandals with exposed toes or heels.

Wear long pants while operating the DR 7.25 ALL-TERRAIN TRIMMER/MOWER.
 Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.

Keep bystanders at least 100 feet away from your work area at all times. The tips of the cutting cords on the DR 7.25 ALL-
TERRAIN TRIMMER/MOWER can throw sticks, small stones, gravel, and bits of debris over long distances at great velocity.
Do not travel over loose materials such as gravel or mulch with the trimmer head spinning. Doing so could cause personal
injury or property damage from thrown objects. Shut off the Tow Vehicle, set the parking brake and remove the key and then
shut down the Trimmer Engine to stop the spinning cords when another person or pet approaches.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
 Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
