becomes hot during operation and can cause burn



12. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused

by fatigue. We recommend taking a 10 to 20-min-

ute rest every hour.

13. When you use the tool on muddy ground, wet

slope, or slippery place, pay attention to your

footing.

14. Avoid working in poor environment where

increased user fatigue is expected.

12 ENGLISH

15. Do not use the tool in bad weather where visi-

bility is limited. Failure to do so may cause fall or

incorrect operation due to low visibility.

16. Do not submerge the tool into a puddle.

17. Do not leave the tool unattended outdoors in

the rain.

18. When wet leaves or dirt adhere to the suc-

tion mouth (ventilation window) due to rain,

remove them.

19. Do not use the tool in the snow.

Cutting tools

1. When using cutting blades, avoid kickback

and always prepare for an accidental kickback.

See the section for Kickback.

2. 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.
