5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Watch for hidden obsta-

cles such as tree stumps, roots and ditches to

avoid stumbling.

6. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

7. Walk, never run.

8. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of

control.

9.

If the tool gets heavy impact or fall, check the

condition before continuing work. Check the

controls and safety devices for malfunction. If

there is any damage or doubt, ask our authorized

service center for the inspection and repair.

10. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused

by fatigue. We recommend taking a 10 to 20-min-

ute rest every hour.

11. When you leave the tool, even if it is a short

time, always remove the battery cartridge. The

unattended tool with the battery cartridge installed

may be used by unauthorized person and cause

serious accident.

12. If grass or branches get caught between the

cutting attachment and guard, always turn



16. Never cut above waist height.

17. Before starting the cutting operation, wait until

the cutting attachment reaches a constant

speed after turning the tool on.

18. When using a cutting blade, swing the tool

evenly in half-circle from right to left, like

using a scythe.

19.

Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, because the cutter blade may contact

hidden wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live"

wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool

"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

20. Do not start the tool when the cutting tool is

tangled with cut grass.

21. Before starting the tool, be sure that the cut-

ting tool is not touching the ground and other

obstacles such as a tree.

14 ENGLISH

22. During operation always hold the tool with

both hands. Never hold the tool with one hand

during use.

23. Do not operate the tool in bad weather or if

there is a risk of lightning.

Cutting tools

1. Do not use a cutting tool which is not recom-

mended by us.

2. Use an applicable cutting attachment for the

job in hand.

—Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads)

and plastic blades are suitable for trimming

lawn grass.

—Cutting blades are suitable for cutting weeds,

high grasses, bushes, shrubs, underwood,

thicket, and the like.

5. Always use the cutting attachment guard prop-

erly suited for the cutting attachment used.

6. When using cutting blades, avoid kickback

and always prepare for an accidental kickback.

See the section for Kickback.

7. When not in use, attach the blade cover onto

the blade. Remove the cover before operation.

Kickback (Blade thrust)

1. Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction

to a caught or bound cutting blade. Once it

occurs, the tool is thrown sideway or toward

the operator at great force and it may cause

serious injury.

2. Kickback occurs particularly when applying

the blade segment between 12 and 2 o'clock

to solids, bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger

diameter.

Fig.2

3. To avoid kickback:

1. Apply the segment between 8 and 11

o'clock.

2. Never apply the segment between 12 and

2 o'clock.

3. Never apply the segment between 11 and

12 o'clock and between 2 and 5 o'clock,

unless the operator is well trained and

experienced and does it at his/her own

risk.

4. Never use cutting blades close to solids,

such as fences, walls, tree trunks and

stones.

5. Never use cutting blades vertically, for

such operations as edging and trimming

hedges.

Tips for maintaining maximum

battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged. Always stop tool operation and

charge the battery cartridge when you notice

less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery

service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let

a hot battery cartridge cool down before

charging it.

4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove

it from the tool or the charger.

5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use

it for a long period (more than six months).
