WARNING
The cutting attachment must be properly
tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked or
damaged heads or cracked, bent,
warped or damaged blades. Replace
damaged heads or blades before using
the power tool. Always keep blades
sharp.
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects,
make sure your
unit is equipped
with the proper
deflector, handle
and harness for
the type of cutting
attachment being
used (see chart in
the chapter on
"Approved Combi-
nations of Cutting
Attachment,
Deflector, Handle
and Harness".)
6
As can be seen in that chart, some
cutting attachments may require you to
change your deflector, handle and or
harness.
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" of your
instruction manual).
A
B
Arrows on the deflector (A) and limit
stop (B) (as seen from the underside)
show the correct direction of rotation of
the cutting attachment. When viewed
from above, however, the cutting
attachment rotates counterclockwise.
Adjust harness (if you are wearing one)
and hand grip to suit your size before
starting work. The machine should be
properly balanced as specified in your
instruction manual for proper control and
less fatigue in operation. To be better
prepared in case of an emergency,
practice releasing the unit from the
harness as quickly as possible.
Starting
WARNING
Start the engine at least 10 feet (3 m)
from the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Start and operate your power tool
without assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your KombiEngine and KombiTool
manuals. Place the power tool on firm
ground or other solid surface in an open
area. Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, be absolutely sure that the
working tool is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground, because when the engine starts
at starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage and
move the working tool.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the starting throttle
and allow the engine to slow down to
idle.
With the engine running only at idle,
attach the power tool to the spring hook
of your harness if you are using one (see
appropriate chapter of this manual).
