OPERATION
CAUTION:
This is a powerful tool which gen-
erates high torque. It is important that the tool is
securely held and properly braced.
CAUTION:
Before operating, check that there
is no foreign matter (sand, dirt, etc.) stuck in the
openings or moving parts.
Work posture
Maintaining proper operating position is one of the most
important and effective procedures for controlling kickback.
Keep proper positioning by practicing the following points.
•
Position the tool so that the bar of the reaction
receiver always contacts on the left side of your
waist.
•
Grasp the handle and the side handle with both
hands. Wrap your fingers around the gripping
areas, keeping the gripping areas cradled
between your thumbs and forefingers.
•
Keep your back as vertical as possible by bending
the legs as required during the digging process.
•
Stay alert to the torque reaction force of the tool.
Always keep the operating position that you can
withstand the torque reaction force.
