o) Do not operate the machine on excessively steep

slopes.

This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and

falling which may result in personal injury.

p) When working on slopes, always be sure of your

footing, always work across the face of slopes,

never up or down and exercise extreme caution

when changing direction.

This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping and

falling which may result in personal injury.

q) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter,

line or blade when the machine is operating.

Before you start the machine, make sure the

cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything.

A moment of inattention while operating the machine

may result in injury to yourself or others.

r) Do not operate the machine above waist height.

This helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact

and enables better control of the machine in

unexpected situations.

s) When cutting brush or saplings that are under

tension, be alert for spring back.

When the tension in the wood fibres is released, the

brush or sapling may strike the operator and/or throw

the machine out of control.

t) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and

saplings.

The slender material may catch the blade and be

whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

u) Maintain control of the machine and do not touch

cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous

moving parts while they are still in motion.

This reduces the risk of injury from moving parts.

v) When clearing jammed material or servicing the

machine, make sure the switch is off and the

battery pack is removed.

Unexpected starting of the machine while clearing

jammed material or servicing may result in serious

personal injury.

w) Carry the machine with the machine switched off

and away from your body.

Proper handling of the machine will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with a moving cutter,

line or blade.

x) When transporting or storing the machine, always

fit the cover on metal blades.

Proper handling of the machine will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with the blade.

y) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads

and blades specified by the manufacturer.

Incorrect replacement parts may increase the risk of

breakage and injury.

BLADE THRUST CAUSES AND

RELATED WARNINGS

Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or backward

motion of the machine, which may occur when the blade

jams or catches on an object such as a sapling or a tree

stump. It can be violent enough to cause the machine and/

or operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly

lose control of the machine.

Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below.

1. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the

machine and position your arms to resist blade

thrust. Position your body to the left side of the

machine.

Blade thrust can increase the risk of injury due to the

machine moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be

controlled by the operator if proper precautions are

taken.

2. If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, switch the machine off and hold the

machine motionless in the material until the blade

comes to a complete stop. While the blade is

binding, never attempt to remove the machine

from the material or pull the machine backward

while the blade is in motion, otherwise blade thrust

may occur.

Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the

cause of blade binding.

3. Do not use blunt or damaged blades.

Blunt or damaged blades increase the risk of jamming

or catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.

4. Always maintain good visibility of the material

being cut.

Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is

difficult to see the material being cut.

5. If you are approached by another person while

operating the machine, switch the machine off.

There is an increased risk of injury to other persons

being struck by the moving blade in the event of blade

thrust.
