Check the Deflector
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from thrown
objects and contact with the attachment,
never operate your power tool without a
properly mounted deflector.
Operate the MF-MM dethatcher
MultiTool only with the deflector shown
above in combination with properly
mounted deflector extensions and mud
flap (see chapter "Mounting the
MultiTool".)
Starting
WARNING
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your MultiEngine
and MultiTool manuals.
6
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
Always stand to one side of the unit to
avoid the risk of injury from contact with
the rotating MultiTool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, be absolutely sure that the
MultiTool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
move the MultiTool.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
See also the safety precautions on
Starting in the instruction manual of the
MultiEngine.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the unit firmly with both
hands on the handles while you are
working. Wrap your fingers and thumbs
around the handles, keeping the
handles cradled between your thumb
and forefinger. Keep your hands in this
position to have your power tool under
control at all times.
WARNING
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool may result
in serious or fatal injury.
To reduce the risk of
injury, keep hands and
feet away from the
MultiTool. Never touch a
moving MultiTool with
your hand or any other
part of your body.
