Precautions concerning the cutting attachment
1.With metal blade
2.With nylon line cutting head
DANGER
Always stop the engine when a cutting attachment jam occurs. Do not attempt to remove an object causing a jam if the
engine is running. Severe injury can occur if a jam is removed and the cutting attachment suddenly starts.
WARNING
Use correct blades
Serious injury may result from the improper use of
blades.
Read and comply with all safety instructions listed in
this manual.
The 3 cutter blade is designed especially to cut weeds
and grass. To avoid injury due to kickback or blade frac-
ture, do not use the 3 cutter blade to cut brush or trees.
Use only cutting attachments recommended by YAMA-
BIKO CORPORATION.
Damaged or shattered blades can cause accidents and se-
rious injury.
Inspect blade before use
Pieces from a cracked metal blade can fly off during oper-
ation. Inspect metal blades for cracks before each use.
Discard cracked blades no matter how small the crack.
Cracked blades can be the result of the misuse or improp-
er sharpening.
Damaged or shattered blades can cause accidents and se-
rious injury.
Reaction forces
Be sure you understand the reaction forces of push and
pull, and kickback described in this manual, and how
these forces may affect your balance in the operation of a
unit.
Failure to do so could cause an injury or fatal accident.
WARNING
Use correct cutting attachment
Serious injury may result from the improper use of cut-
ting attachment.
Read and comply with all safety instructions listed in
this manual.
Use only cutting attachments recommended by YAMA-
BIKO CORPORATION.
Use only nylon line cutting head. Do not use any type of
metal blade.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.
Excessive nylon line beyond cut off knife could fly off
when the nylon line cutting head starts rotating after ad-
justment of nylon line length.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident or injury.
Do not trim near cars or pedestrians
Use extreme caution when operating over bare spots and
gravel, because the line can throw small rock particles at
high speeds. The shield on the unit cannot stop objects
which bounce or ricochet off hard surfaces.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.
Avoid wire
Do not trim in any area where there are broken strands of
fencing wire. Remove the broken pieces of wire, or give the
area wide berth. Wear proper safety protection. Do not cut
where you cannot see what the cutting device is cutting.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.
CAUTION
Use only flexible, non-metallic line recommended by YAMABIKO CORPORATION.
