English Warning! Do not attach any cutting attachment to a unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts may cause the blade or head to fly off and seriously injure the operator or bystanders. Warning! The cutting attachment must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws, etc.) and for cracked or damaged heads or cracked, bent, warped or damaged blades. Replace damaged heads or blades before using the power tool. Always keep blades sharp. Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix, grease or resin in order for you to maintain a firm grip and properly control your power tool. Warning! Check that the spark plug boot is securely mounted on the spark plug - a loose boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. Warning! To reduce the risk of personal injury to the operator from blade or line contact and thrown objects, make sure your unit is equipped with the proper deflector, handle and harness for the type of cutting attachment being used (see chart in the chapter on "Approved Combinations of Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Handle and Harness".) As can be seen in that chart, some cutting attachments may require you to change your deflector, handle and / or harness. Keep the deflector (and the attached skirt where appropriate) adjusted properly at all times (see chapters on "Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting the Cutting Attachment" of your instruction manual.) A Arrows on the deflector (A) (as seen from the underside) show the correct direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. When viewed from above, however, the cutting attachment rotates counterclockwise. 000BA006 KN Some of the following symbols may be embossed on the outside of the deflector in order to indicate the approved combination of cutting attachment and deflector. The deflector may be used in combination with mowing heads. The deflector may be used in combination with grass cutting blades. The deflector may be used in combination with brush knives. The deflector must not be used in combination with mowing heads. The deflector must not be used in combination with grass cutting blades.

Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
As can be seen in that chart, some
cutting attachments may require you to
change your deflector, handle and / or
harness.
Keep the deflector (and the attached
skirt where appropriate) adjusted
properly at all times (see chapters on
"Mounting the Deflector" and "Mounting
the Cutting Attachment" of your
instruction manual.)
Arrows on the deflector (
A
) (as seen
from the underside) show the correct
direction of rotation of the cutting
attachment. When viewed from above,
however, the cutting attachment rotates
counterclockwise.
Some of the following symbols may be
embossed on the outside of the deflector
in order to indicate the approved
combination of cutting attachment and
deflector.
Warning!
Do not attach any cutting attachment to
a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper
parts may cause the blade or head to fly
off and seriously injure the operator or
bystanders.
Warning!
The cutting attachment must be prop
-
erly tightened and in safe operating
condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts,
screws, etc.) and for cracked or dam
-
aged heads or cracked, bent, warped or
damaged blades. Replace damaged
heads or blades before using the power
tool. Always keep blades sharp.
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Warning!
To reduce the risk
of personal injury
to the operator
from blade or line
contact and
thrown objects, make sure your unit is
equipped with the proper deflector, han

dle and harness for the type of cutting
attachment being used (see chart in the
chapter on "Approved Combinations of
