Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps, roots and

ditches to avoid stumbling.

•

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

•

If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition

before continuing work. Check the fuel system for fuel leakage

and the controls and safety devices for malfunction. If there is

any damage or doubt, ask Dolmar authorized service center for

the inspection and repair.

•

Do not touch the gear case. The gear case becomes hot during

operation.

•

Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We

recommend taking a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.

•

When you leave the equipment, even if it is a short time, always

switch off the engine or remove the battery cartridge. The

equipment unattended with the engine running may be used by

unauthorized person and cause serious accident.

•

Follow the instruction manual of the power unit for proper use of

the control lever and switch.

•

During or after operation, do not put the hot equipment onto dry

grass or combustible materials.

•

If grass or branches get caught between the cutting tool and

guard, always stop the motor and remove the spark plug cap or

the battery cartridge before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional

blade rotation may cause serious injury.

•

If the cutting tool hits stones or other hard objects, immediately

switch off the motor and inspect the cutting tool.

•

Check the cutting tool frequently during operation for cracks or

damages. Before the inspection, switch off the motor and wait

until the cutting tool stops completely. Replace damaged cutting

tool immediately, even if it has only superficial cracks.

•

Never cut above waist height.

•

Before starting the cutting operation, wait until the cutting tool

reaches a constant speed after pulling the trigger.

•

When using metal blades, swing the tool evenly in half-circle from

right to left, like using a scythe.

Cutting tools

•

Use an applicable cutting tool for the job in hand.

Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads) are suitable for

trimming lawn grass.

Metal blades are suitable for cutting weeds, high grasses,

bushes, shrubs, underwood, thicket, and the like.

Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting

chains and flail blades. It may result in serious injury.

•

Always use the cutting tool guard properly suited for the cutting

tool used.

•

When using metal blades, avoid "kickback" and always prepare

for an accidental kickback. See the section "Kickback."

Kickback (Blade thrust) (Fig. 5 & 6)

•

Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction to a caught or bound

cutting blade. Once it occurs, the equipment is thrown sideway or

toward the operator at great force and it may cause serious injury.

•

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.

•

To avoid kickback:

–

apply the segment between 8 and 11 o'clock;

–

never apply the segment between 12 and 2 o'clock;

–

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;

–

never use cutting blades close to solids, such as fences, walls,

tree trunks and stones;

–

never use cutting blades vertically, for such operations as

edging and trimming hedges.

Vibration

•

People with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive

vibration may experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous

system. Vibration may cause the following symptoms to occur in

the fingers, hands or wrists: "Falling asleep" (numbness), tingling,

pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin color or of the skin. If

any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

•

To reduce the risk of "white finger disease", keep your hands

warm during operation and well maintain the equipment and

accessories.

Transport

•

Before transporting the equipment, switch off the motor and

remove the spark plug cap or battery cartridge. Attach the cover

to the cutting blade.

•

When transporting the equipment, carry it in a horizontal position

by holding the shaft. Keep the hot muffler away from your body.

•

When transporting the equipment in a vehicle, properly secure

it to avoid turnover. Otherwise fuel spillage and damage to the

equipment and other baggage may result.

Maintenance

•

Have your equipment serviced by our authorized service center,

always using only genuine replacement parts. Incorrect repair

and poor maintenance can shorten the life of the equipment and

increase the risk of accidents.

•

Before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the

equipment, always switch off the motor and remove the spark

plug cap or the battery cartridge. Wait until the motor gets cold.

•

To reduce the risk of fire, never service the equipment in the

vicinity of fire.

•

Always wear protective gloves when handling the cutting blade.

•

Always clean dust and dirt off the equipment. Never use gasoline,

benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like for the purpose. Discoloration,

deformation or cracks of the plastic components may result.

•

After each use, tighten all screws and nuts, except for the

carburetor adjustment screws.

•
