Weed Trimmer Safety

Power grass/weed trimmers can throw stones, sticks, and other objects. These objects can injure the eyes of operators and those nearby. There are almost 5,000 hospital emergency room-treated injuries associated with power lawn trimmers or edgers each year. About one-third of the injuries are to the eye. Consumers should wear goggles to protect their eyes. Citizens also should clear the area of stones, sticks, wire, and other debris before using either a line or blade type weed trimmer.

CAUTION

  • Power grass/weed trimmers can throw objects and injure eyes.
  • Wear goggles to protect eyes.
  • Clear away stones, sticks, and other debris before using.
