○ Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts a

solid object in the critical area.

A dangerous reaction may occur causing the entire unit and

operator to be thrust violently. This reaction is called blade

thrust. As a result, the operator may lose control of the unit

which may cause serious or fatal injury. Blade thrust is more

likely to occur in areas where it is diﬃ cult to see the material to

be cut.

○ Wear the harness as shown in the ﬁ gure (if so equipped). The

blade turns counter-clockwise, therefore, be advised to operate

the unit from right to left for eﬃ cient cutting. Keep onlookers out

of working area at least 15 m.

○ Use in accordance with local laws and regulations.

NOTE

Press the quick release button or pull emergency release ﬂ ap

(If so equipped) in the event of emergency. (Fig. 25)

○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,

please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or Tanaka dealer.
