Outdoor Power Equipment - Internal Combustion Engine-Powered Hand-Held Grass Trimmers and Brushcutters - Safety and Environmental Requirements
The requirements of this Standard apply to: a) Internal combustion engine–powered, hand-held, grass trimmers intended for use with flexible nonmetallic line, or other types of nonmetallic cutting attachments, and b) Internal combustion engine–powered, hand-held, brushcutters intended for use with cutting blades and other cutting attachments. NOTE – If a grass trimmer is marketed by the manufacturer as convertible to a brushcutter, then the converted unit shall comply with requirements for brushcutters and vice-versa. A convertible unit may be marketed as a grass trimmer or a brushcutter without including the devices required for conversion in the packaging, provided the operator manual clearly addresses the need to acquire and use the required conversion devices and the manufacturer makes such devices available as optional equipment.
