when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
■
Keep the supply cord away from the cutter, line or
blade. A damaged supply cord may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
■
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line
or blade when the machine is 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.
■
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.
■
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
machine, make sure the switch is off and the battery
pack is removed. Unexpected starting of the machine
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
BLADE THRUST CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS
Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or backward
motion of the machine, which may occur when the blade
jams or catches on an object such as a sapling or a tree
stump. It can be violent enough to cause the machine and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction, and possibly lose
control of the machine.
Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
■
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the machine
and position your arms to resist blade thrust. Position
your body to the left side of the machine. Blade thrust
can increase the risk of injury due to the machine
moving unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be controlled by
the operator if proper precautions are taken.
■
If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch the machine off and hold the
machine motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop. While the blade is binding,
never attempt to remove the machine from the material
or pull the machine backward while the blade is in
motion, otherwise blade thrust may occur. Investigate
and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
■
Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or
damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or
catching on an object, resulting in blade thrust.
■
Always maintain good visibility of the material being
cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it
is difficult to see the material being cut.
■
If you are approached by another person while
operating the machine, switch the machine off. There
is an increased risk of injury to other persons being
struck by the moving blade in the event of blade thrust.
