protective gloves to protect yourself from
flying debris or falling objects.
2.
Wear ear protection such as ear muffs to pre-
vent hearing loss.
Wear proper clothing and shoes for safe
3.
operation, such as a work overall and sturdy,
non-slip shoes. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
4.
When touching the cutting blade, wear protec-
tive gloves. Cutting blades can cut bare hands
severely.
Work area safety
1.
Before operation, examine the work area for
stones or other solid objects. They can be
thrown or cause dangerous kickback and result in
serious injury and/or property damage.
Electrical and battery safety
Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
1.
tool in dump or wet locations or expose it to
rain. Water entering the tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
2.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
3.
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
4.
Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
Do not replace the battery with wet hands.
5.
6.
Do not replace the battery in the rain.
7.
Do not wet the terminal of battery with liquid
such as water, or submerge the battery. Do not
leave the battery in the rain, nor charge, use,
or store the battery in a damp or wet place. If
the terminal gets wet or liquid enters inside of bat-
tery, the battery may be short circuited and there is
a risk of overheat, fire, or explosion.
8.
After removing the battery from the tool or
charger, be sure to attach the battery cover to
the battery and store it in a dry place.
9.
If the battery cartridge gets wet, drain the
water inside and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Dry the battery cartridge completely in a dry
place before use.
Putting into operation
The cutting tool has to be equipped with the
1.
guard. Never run the tool with damaged guards
or without guards in place!
Make sure there are no electrical cables, water
2.
pipes, gas pipes etc. that could cause a hazard
if damaged by use of the tool.
Operation
Always keep your hands, face, and clothes
1.
away from the cutting tool when it is rotating.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
During operation, keep bystanders or animals
2.
at least 15 m away from the tool. Stop the tool
as soon as someone approaches.
During operation, never stand on an unstable
3.
or slippery surface or a steep slope. During
the cold season, beware of ice and snow and
always ensure secure footing.
Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of
4.
control.
When you leave the tool, even if it is a short
5.
time, always remove the battery cartridge. The
unattended tool with the battery cartridge installed
may be used by unauthorized person and cause
serious accident.
6.
Before starting the tool, be sure that the cut-
ting tool is not touching the ground and other
obstacles such as a tree.
7.
Check the cutting attachment frequently
during operation for cracks or damages.
Before the inspection, remove the battery
cartridge and wait until the cutting attachment
stops completely. Replace damaged cutting
attachment immediately, even if it has only
superficial cracks.
8.
Do not operate the tool in bad weather or if
there is a risk of lightning.
9.
During operation always hold the tool with
both hands. Never hold the tool with one hand
during use.
10. During operation, use the shoulder harness.
Keep the tool on your right side firmly.
11.
Do not touch the gear case during and imme-
diately after the operation. The gear case
becomes hot during operation and can cause burn
injury.
12. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused
by fatigue. We recommend taking a 10 to 20-min-
ute rest every hour.
13. When you use the tool on muddy ground, wet
slope, or slippery place, pay attention to your
footing.
14. Avoid working in poor environment where
increased user fatigue is expected.
