For safe use of your product

Vibration and cold

It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be

brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning, fol-

lowed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended because

the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown.



Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck, feet and ankles, and hands and wrists.



Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by not

smoking.



Limit the number of hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the trimmer or other hand-held

power equipment is not required.



If you experience discomfort redness and swelling of the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult

your physician before exposing yourself further to cold and vibration.

 Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.

Repetitive stress injuries

It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness,

swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities may put

you at a high risk for developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI). To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:



Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.



Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the

repetitive movement.



Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.



See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is diag-

nosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.

 Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.

WARNING

Proper training

Do not permit operation without proper training and protective equipment.

Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of unit.

Know how to stop the unit and shut off the engine.

Know how to unhook a harnessed unit quickly.

Never allow anyone to use the unit without proper instruction.

WARNING

Remove foreign objects and obstructions before working with the product



Before starting work, check the area where you will be working and remove any small

stones and empty cans likely to ricochet off the cutting attachment, as well as any

pieces of string or wire that might become twisted around the cutting attachment.

 An accident or serious injury can occur if foreign objects ricochet off the cutting attachment

or wire and other materials twisted round the product spring off it.

Do not hold the cutting attachment up when working with the product



Do not hold the cutting attachment up while you work. You must not work with the cutting attachments raised above

knee level.

 Raising the cutting attachment above knee level brings the plane of rotation closer to the face, and any objects that fly off the

cutting attachments could cause an accident or serious injury.

Turn off the engine immediately if anything goes wrong

In the following situations, turn off the engine immediately and ensure that the cutting attachments have stopped before

checking each area of the product. Replace any damaged parts.



If the cutting attachment hits a rock, tree, post, or other such obstruction while you work.



If the product suddenly starts to vibrate abnormally.

 Continuing to use parts when they are damaged could lead to an accident or serious injury.

11

For safe use of your product

Precautions concerning the cutting attachment

1.With metal blade

2.With nylon line cutting head

Kickback



The phenomenon that occurs if the trimmer blade comes into con-

tact with a tree, post, rock or other hard object while rotating at

high speed and reacts by recoiling powerfully and instantaneously

is known as kickback.



Causing kickback can result in a loss of control over the product

and is highly dangerous.



In particular, if the front-right quadrant of the trimmer blade (B)

strikes a shrub or other such object, the trimmer blade will cause

the product to recoil sharply backwards to the right.



To prevent kickback, do not trim from left to right. Be careful to en-

sure that the trimmer blade does not strike any hard objects.



When trimming, ensure that the object you are cutting meets the

portion of the blade 1/3 in from the front edge on the left-hand side

(A).

 Failure to do so could cause an injury or fatal accident.

WARNING

DANGER

Always stop the engine when a cutting attachment jam occurs. Do not attempt to remove an object causing a jam if the

engine is running. Severe injury can occur if a jam is removed and the cutting attachment suddenly starts.

WARNING

Use correct blades



Serious injury may result from the improper use of blades. Read and comply with all safety instructions listed in this

manual.



The 3 cutter blade is designed especially to cut weeds and grass. To avoid injury due to kickback or blade fracture,

do not use the 3 cutter blade to cut brush or trees.



Use only cutting attachments recommended by YAMABIKO CORPORATION.

 Damaged or shattered blades can cause accidents and serious injury.

Inspect blade before use

Pieces from a cracked metal blade can fly off during operation. Inspect metal blades for cracks before each use. Discard

cracked blades no matter how small the crack. Cracked blades can be the result of the misuse or improper sharpening.

 Damaged or shattered blades can cause accidents and serious injury.

Reaction forces

Be sure you understand the reaction forces of push and pull, and kickback described in this manual, and how these

forces may affect your balance in the operation of a unit.

 Failure to do so could cause an injury or fatal accident.

WARNING

Use correct cutting attachment



Serious injury may result from the improper use of cutting attachment. Read and comply with all safety instructions

listed in this manual.



Use only cutting attachments recommended by YAMABIKO CORPORATION.



Use only nylon line cutting head. Do not use any type of metal blade.

 Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.



Excessive nylon line beyond cut off knife could fly off when the nylon line cutting head starts rotating after adjust-

ment of nylon line length.

 Failure to do so could lead to an accident or injury.

12

For safe use of your product

Protective gear

Do not trim near cars or pedestrians

Use extreme caution when operating over bare spots and gravel, because the line can throw small rock particles at high

speeds. The shield on the unit cannot stop objects which bounce or ricochet off hard surfaces.

 Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.

Avoid wire

Do not trim in any area where there are broken strands of fencing wire. Remove the broken pieces of wire, or give the

area wide berth. Wear proper safety protection. Do not cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is cutting.

 Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.

WARNING

CAUTION

Use only flexible, non-metallic line recommended by YAMABIKO CORPORATION.

WARNING

Wear protective gear

Always wear the following protective gear when working with the trimmer.

1. Head protection (helmet): Protects the head

2. Ear muffs or ear plugs: Protect the hearing

3. Safety goggles: Protect the eyes

4. Face shield: Protects the face

5. Safety gloves: Protect the hands from cold and vibration

6. Work clothes that fit (long sleeves, long trousers): Protect the body

7. Heavy duty, non-slip protective boots (with toecaps) or non-slip work shoes

(with toecaps): Protect the feet

8. Shin guards: Protect the legs

 Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to your sight or hearing, or

lead to a serious injury.

When necessary, please use the protective gear below.

 Dust mask: Protects the breathing apparatus

 Bee net: To deal with attacks by bees

Wear proper clothing.

Do not wear ties, jewellery, or loose, dangling clothing which could be caught in the unit.

Do not wear open toed footwear, or go bare-foot or barelegged. In certain situations, total

face and head protection may be required. For heavy brush cutting with metal blade, log-

ger's trousers or leg chaps with protective inserts are added considerations.

 Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to your sight or hearing, or lead

to a serious injury.

Installing a trimmer head

shaft and Holder A until the hole in Holder A aligns with the

matching hole in the gearcase flange, and then lock the hold-

er to the gearcase by inserting the long end of the L- wrench

through both holes.

2. Using the socket wrench, remove the shaft bolt, bolt guard,

Holder B and the safety clip. (The bolt guard, shaft bolt and

safety clip are not used with a trimmer head).

Holder B must engage with the gearcase shaft.
