English(Original instructions)
installing the blade.
Ŷ
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
Ŷ
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger
released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
Ŷ
Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always
make sure blade is installed correctly and securely
fastened before each use. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
Ŷ
Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts.
Ŷ
The Tri-Arc blade is suited for cutting pulpy weeds and
vines only. Do not use for any other purpose. Never
use the Tri-Arc blade to cut woody brush.
Ŷ
Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when the
spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause
the operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust
may occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls
or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where
it is difficult to see the material being cut. For cutting
ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from
the right to the left. In the event an unexpected object
or woody stock is encountered, this could minimize the
blade thrust reaction.
Ŷ
Never cut any material with a diameter over 13 mm.
Ŷ
Always use the shoulder strap/harness with your unit.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while cutting with
a blade. Keep the blade away from body and below
waist. Never use the product with the cutting head
positioned 76 cm or more above ground level.
Ŷ
Cover the blade with the blade protector before storing
the unit, or during transportation. Always remove the
blade protector before using the unit. If not removed,
the blade protector could become a thrown object as
the blade begins to turn.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Ŷ
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to
contribute to the development of these symptoms.
It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or
extent of exposure may contribute to the condition.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm.
b.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c. Ensure that the machine is correctly located in a
designated working position before starting the
machine.
d. Limit the amount of exposure per day. Take frequent
work breaks.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
physician about these symptoms.
