12. If grass or branches get caught between the

cutting attachment and guard, always turn

the tool off and remove the battery cartridge

before cleaning. Otherwise the cutting attach-

ment may rotate unintentionally and cause serious

injury.

13. Never touch moving hazardous parts before

the moving hazardous parts have come to

a complete stop and the battery cartridge is

removed.

14. If the cutting attachment hits stones or other

hard objects, immediately turn the tool off.

Then remove the battery cartridge and inspect

the cutting attachment.

15. Check the cutting attachment frequently

during operation for cracks or damages.

Before the inspection, remove the battery

cartridge and wait until the cutting attachment

stops completely. Replace damaged cutting

attachment immediately, even if it has only

supercial cracks.

16. Never cut above waist height.

17. Before starting the cutting operation, wait until

the cutting attachment reaches a constant

speed after turning the tool on.

18. When using a cutting blade, swing the tool

evenly in half-circle from right to left, like

using a scythe.

19. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, because the cutter blade may contact

hidden wiring.Cutterbladescontactinga"live"

5. Always use the cutting attachment guard prop-

erly suited for the cutting attachment used.

6. When using cutting blades, avoid kickback

and always prepare for an accidental kickback.

See the section for Kickback.

7. When not in use, attach the blade cover onto

the blade. Remove the cover before operation.

Kickback (Blade thrust)

1. Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction

to a caught or bound cutting blade. Once it

occurs, the tool is thrown sideway or toward

the operator at great force and it may cause

serious injury.

2. Kickback occurs particularly when applying

the blade segment between 12 and 2 o'clock

to solids, bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger

diameter.

►Fig.2

3. To avoid kickback:

1. Apply the segment between 8 and 11

o'clock.

2. Never apply the segment between 12 and

2 o'clock.

3. Never apply the segment between 11 and

12 o'clock and between 2 and 5 o'clock,

unless the operator is well trained and

experienced and does it at his/her own

risk.

4. Never use cutting blades close to solids,

such as fences, walls, tree trunks and

stones.

5. Never use cutting blades vertically, for

such operations as edging and trimming

hedges.

1. People with poor circulation who are exposed

to excessive vibration may experience injury

2. To reduce the risk of "white nger disease",

keep your hands warm during operation and

well maintain the tool and accessories.

Transport

1. Before transporting the tool, turn it off and

remove the battery cartridge. Attach the cover

to the cutting blade.

2. When transporting the tool, carry it in a hori-

zontal position by holding the shaft.
