OPERATION
Attaching the shoulder harness
CAUTION:
Always use the shoulder harness
attached to the tool. Before operation, adjust the
shoulder harness according to the user size to
prevent fatigue.
CAUTION:
Before operation, make sure that
the shoulder harness is properly attached to the
hanger on the tool.
CAUTION:
When you use the tool in combi-
nation of the backpack-type power supply such
as portable power pack, do not use the shoulder
harness included in the tool package, but use the
hanging band recommended by Makita.
If you put on the shoulder harness included in the
tool package and the shoulder harness of the back-
pack-type power supply at the same time, removing
the tool or backpack-type power supply is difficult in
case of an emergency, and it may cause an accident
or injury. For the recommended hanging band, ask
Makita Authorized Service Centers.

Correct handling of the tool
WARNING:
Always position the tool on your
right-hand side.
Correct positioning of the tool allows
for maximum control and will reduce the risk of seri-
ous personal injury caused by kickback.
WARNING:
Be extremely careful to maintain
control of the tool at all times. Do not allow the
tool to be deflected toward you or anyone in the
work vicinity.
Failure to keep control of the tool
could result in serious injury to the bystander and the
operator.
WARNING:
To avoid accident, leave more
than 15m (50 ft) distance between operators when
two or more operators work in one area. Also,
arrange a person to observe the distance between
operators. If someone or an animal enters the
working area, immediately stop the operation.
CAUTION:
If the cutting tool accidentally
impacts a rock or hard object during operation,
stop the tool and inspect for any damage. If the
cutting tool is damaged, replace it immediately.
Use of a damaged cutting tool may result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Remove the blade cover from the
cutter blade when cutting the grass.
Correct positioning and handling allow optimum control
and reduce the risk of injury caused by kickback.
