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
Cutting Attachment, Deflector, Handle
and Harness".)
