General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical safety
4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
10. Use of power supply via a RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
Personal safety
11. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
12. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
13. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
14. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
16. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
17. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
18. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
19. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
20. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
21. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
22. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
Service
25. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
26. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

7. When plugging in, keep the cutting attachment clear
of your body and other object, including the ground.
It may rotate when starting and may cause injury or
damage to the tool and/or property.
Operation
1. In the event of an emergency, switch off the tool
immediately.
2. If you feel any unusual condition (e.g. noise, vibration)
during operation, switch off the tool. Do not use the
tool until the cause is recognized and solved.
3. Warning. The cutting attachment continues to rotate
for a short period after turning the tool off. Don’t rush
to contact the cutting attachment.
4. During operation, use the shoulder harness. Keep
the tool on your right side firmly.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree
stumps, roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.
6. Never work on a ladder or tree to avoid loss of
control.
7. Before using the machine and after any 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.
8. Do not touch the gear case. The gear case becomes
hot during operation.
9. Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by
fatigue. We recommend taking a 10 to 20-minute
rest every hour.
10. When you leave the tool, even if it is a short time,
always withdraw the mains plug. The unattended
tool with the mains plugged in may be used by
unauthorized person and cause serious accident.
11. If grass or branches get caught between the cutting

15. Before starting the cutting operation, wait until the
cutting attachment reaches a constant speed after
turning the tool on.
16. When using metal blades, swing the tool evenly in
half-circle from right to left, like using a scythe.
17. 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.
18. Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept
clear of debris.
Cutting attachments
1. Use an applicable cutting attachment 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.
2. Always use the cutting attachment guard properly
suited for the cutting attachment used.
3. Never fit metal cutting elements with nylon cutting
models.
4. When using metal blades, avoid “kickback” and
always prepare for an accidental kickback. See the
section “Kickback.”
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.

Page: 6

11
3. 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
1. 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,
