j) Keep bystanders away while operating the
machine. Thrown debris can result in serious
personal injury.
k) Always use two hands when operating the
machine. Holding the machine with both hands
will avoid loss of control.
l) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutting line or blade
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the machine "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
m) Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on the ground.
Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of
balance or control of the machine.
n) Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of
control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
o) When working on slopes, always be sure of
your footing, always work across the face of
slopes, never up or down and exercise extreme
caution when changing direction. This reduces
the risk of loss of control, slipping and falling which
may result in personal injury.
p) Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter,
line or blade when the machine is operating.
Before you start the machine, make sure the
cutter, line or blade is not contacting anything.
A moment of inattention while operating the
machine may result in injury to yourself or others.
q) Do not operate the machine above waist height.
This helps prevent unintended cutter or blade
contact and enables better control of the machine
in unexpected situations.
r) When cutting brush or saplings that are under
tension, be alert for spring back. When the
tension in the wood fibres is released, the brush or
sapling may strike the operator and/or throw the
machine out of control.
s) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the
blade and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
t) Maintain control of the machine and do
not touch cutters, lines or blades and other
hazardous moving parts while they are still in
motion. This reduces the risk of injury from moving
parts.
u) Carry the machine with the machine switched
off and away from your body. Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
v) When transporting or storing the machine,
always fit the cover on metal blades. Proper
handling of the machine will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the blade.
w) Only use replacement cutters, lines,
cutting heads and blades specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts may
increase the risk of breakage and injury.
x) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the
battery pack is removed. Unexpected starting
of the machine while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal 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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred battery
pack.
b) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
c) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by other metal
objects. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like paper
