■
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.
