THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL Transporting the Unit WARNING To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control and line contact, never carry or transport your power tool with the cutting attachment moving. WARNING Always switch off the power tool, move retaining latch to ƒ and remove the battery - even when you carry the unit for short distances.

It may be carried only in a horizontal position. Grip the shaft in a manner that the machine is balanced horizontally. Keep the cutting attachment behind you. Before Starting Work WARNING Always check your power tool for proper condition and operation before starting, particularly the trigger switch, trigger switch lockout and retaining latch. With retaining latch on , , the trigger switch and the trigger switch lockout must move freely and always spring back to the idle position. Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices. WARNING Never operate your power tool if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or maintained, or not completely or securely assembled. Keep the handles clean and dry at all times; it is particularly important to keep them free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease or resin in order for you to maintain a firm grip and properly control your power tool. WARNING To reduce the risk of personal injury to the operator from line contact and thrown objects, make sure your unit is equipped with the proper deflector and handle for the type of cutting attachment being used (see chapter on "Approved Combinations of Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Handle and Harness"). Keep the deflector adjusted properly at all times (see chapter on "Mounting the Deflector" of your instruction manual.) Adjust the hand grip to suit your size before starting work. The machine should be properly balanced for proper control and less fatigue in operation. WARNING The cutting attachment must be properly tightened and in safe operating condition. Inspect for loose parts (nuts, screws, etc.). Regularly check the condition and tightness of the cutting attachment - with the motor stopped, retaining latch on ƒ and battery removed!
