Remove foreign objects and obstructions before working with the
product
Before starting work, check the area where you will be working and re-
move 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 cut-
ting 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 be-
fore 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.
Kickback
The phenomenon that occurs if the trimmer blade
comes into contact with a tree, post, rock or other hard
object while rotating at high speed and reacts by recoil-
ing powerfully and instantaneously is known as kick-
back.
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 trim-
mer blade will cause the product to recoil sharply back-
wards to the right.
To prevent kickback, do not trim from left to right. Be
careful to ensure 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.
