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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• When clearing jammed material or
servicing the machine, make sure all
power switches are off and the battery
pack is removed or the power cord is
disconnected. Unexpected starting of the
machine while clearing jammed material
or servicing may result in serious personal
injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• Only use replacement cutters, lines,
cutting heads and blades specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement parts
may increase the risk of breakage and
injury.
