Putting into operation

  1. Before assembling or adjusting the tool, disconnect the portable power pack from the tool.
  2. Before handling the cutter blade, wear protective gloves.
  3. Before connecting the portable power pack to the tool, inspect the tool for damages, loose screws/nuts or improper assembly. Sharpen blunt cutter blade. If the cutter blade is bent or damaged, replace it. Check all control levers and switches for easy action. Clean and dry the handles.
  4. Never attempt to switch on the tool if it is damaged or not fully assembled. Otherwise serious injury may result.
  5. Adjust the shoulder harness and hand grip to suit the operator's body size.
  6. When connecting the portable power pack to the tool, keep the cutting attachment clear of your body and other object, including the ground. It may rotate when starting and may cause injury or damage to the tool and/or property.
  7. Remove any adjusting key, wrench or blade cover before turning the tool on. An accessory left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
  8. The cutting tool has to be equipped with the guard. Never run the tool with damaged guards or without guards in place!
  9. Make sure there are no electrical cables, water pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool.

Operation

  1. In the event of an emergency, switch off the tool immediately.
  2. If you feel any unusual condition (e.g. noise, vibration) during operation, switch off the tool and disconnect the portable power pack from the tool. Do not use the tool until the cause is recognized and solved.
  3. The cutting attachment continues to rotate for a short period after turning the tool off. Don't rush to contact the cutting attachment.
  4. During operation, use the shoulder harness. Keep the tool on your right side firmly.

  5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.

  6. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
  7. Walk, never run.
  8. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of control.
  9. If the tool gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition before continuing work. Check the controls and safety devices for malfunction. If there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized service center for the inspection and repair.
  10. Do not touch the gear case during and immediately after the operation. The gear case becomes hot during operation and can cause burn injury.
  11. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend taking a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
  12. When you leave the tool, even if it is a short time, always disconnect the portable power pack from the tool. The unattended tool with the battery cartridge installed may be used by unauthorized person and cause serious accident.
  13. If grass or branches get caught between the cutting attachment and guard, always turn the tool off and disconnect the portable power pack from the tool. Otherwise the cutting attachment may rotate unintentionally and cause serious injury.
  14. Never touch moving hazardous parts before the moving hazardous parts have come to a complete stop and the portable power pack is disconnected from the tool.
  15. If the cutting attachment hits stones or other hard objects, immediately turn the tool off. Then disconnect the portable power pack from the tool and inspect the cutting attachment.
  16. Check the cutting attachment frequently during operation for cracks or damages. Before the inspection, disconnect the portable power pack from the tool and make sure that the cutting attachment stops completely. Replace damaged cutting attachment immediately, even if it has only superficial cracks.
  17. Never cut above waist height.
  18. Before starting the cutting operation, wait until the cutting attachment reaches a constant speed after turning the tool on.
  19. When using a cutting blade, swing the tool evenly in half-circle from right to left, like using a scythe.
  20. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
  21. Do not start the tool when the cutting tool is tangled with cut grass.
  22. Before starting the tool, be sure that the cutting tool is not touching the ground and other

obstacles such as a tree.
