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.

4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the

receptacle.

5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after

use, and then keep it.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new

batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and

batteries that have not been used for an extended period is

not activated, the electric discharge might be low when

using them the first and second time. This is a temporary

phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will

be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely

exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool

becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its

battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the

electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life

will become shorter.

(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable

battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a

battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal

chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life

will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it

after it has cooled for a while.
