reduceriskofelectricshock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.Thereisanincreasedriskofelec-
tricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
theriskofelectricshock.
4. 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.

6. When using cutting blades, avoid kickback
and always prepare for an accidental kickback.
See the section for Kickback.
7. When not in use, attach the blade cover onto
the blade. Remove the cover before operation.
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.
►Fig.2
3. To avoid kickback:
1. Apply the segment between 8 and
11 o'clock.
2. Never apply the segment between 12 and
2 o'clock.
3. 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.
4. Never use cutting blades close to solids,
such as fences, walls, tree trunks and
stones.
5. Never use cutting blades vertically, for
such operations as edging and trimming
hedges.
