from thrown objects.
k) Keep bystanders away while operating the machine.
Thrown debris can result in serious personal injury.
l) Always use two hands when operating the machine.
Holding the machine with both hands will avoid loss of
control. (Fig. 2)
m) Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutting line or blade may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting line or blades contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the machine
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
n) Always keep proper footing and operate the
machine only when standing on the ground. Slippery
or unstable surfaces may cause a loss of balance or
control of the machine.
o) Do not operate the machine on excessively steep
slopes. This reduces the risk of loss of control, slipping
and falling which may result in personal injury.
p) When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes,
never up or down and exercise extreme caution
when changing direction. This reduces the risk of
loss of control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
q) 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.
r) 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.

tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood fi bres is released, the brush or sapling may
strike the operator and/or throw the machine out of
control.
t) 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.
u) 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.
v) 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.

with the blade.
y) Only use replacement cutters, lines, cutting heads
and blades specifi ed by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement parts may increase the risk of breakage
and 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.
a) Maintain a fi rm 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Always maintain good visibility of the material
being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas
where it is diffi cult to see the material being cut.
e) 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.

English
5. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and
batteries that have not been used for an extended period
is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will
be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool
becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its
battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life
will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable
battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery
is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical
substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be
shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has
cooled for a while.
