WARNING
Vibration and cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be
brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning,
followed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck, feet and ankles, and hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by
not smoking.
Limit the number of hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the trimmer or other hand-
held power equipment is not required.
If you experience discomfort redness and swelling of the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling, con-
sult your physician before exposing yourself further to cold and vibration.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.
Repetitive stress injuries
It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause sore-
ness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities
may put you at a high risk for developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI). To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:
Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.
Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the
repetitive movement.
Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.
See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is diag-
nosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.
Proper training
Do not permit operation without proper training and protective equipment.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of unit.
Know how to stop the unit and switch off the motor.

Operation
Operation
DANGER
All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can have electricity flow with high voltages. This unit
is not insulated against electrical current. Never touch wires directly or indirectly, otherwise serious injury or death
may result.
Always stop the unit when a cutting attachment jam occurs.
Severe injury can occur if a jam is removed and the cutting attachment suddenly starts.
Do not operate the product without the shield in place.
Any objects that ricochet off the cutting attachment could cause an accident or serious injury.
The area within a 15 m radius of the product is a danger zone. Be care-
ful to observe the following precautions while working with the product.
Do not allow children and other people or pets to enter the danger
zone.
If another person enters the danger zone, switch off the unit to stop
the cutting attachment from rotating.
When approaching the operator, signal to him by, for example,
throwing twigs from outside the danger zone, and then check that
unit has been switched off and the cutting attachment has stopped
turning.
If more than one person is working with the product, identify the way
in which you will signal to each other and work at least 15 m apart.
Any objects that ricochet off the cutting attachment, and any contact with the cutting attachment, could cause blindness or a
fatal accident.
WARNING
Be particularly careful to observe the following precautions when starting the unit:
Check that none of the nuts and bolts are loose.
Leave plenty of space around the product and do not allow people or animals near it.
Failure to observe the precautions could cause an accident or injury, or even lead to a fatality.
Check that there are no abnormal vibrations or sounds once the unit starts. Do not use the product if there are ab-
normal vibrations or sounds. Contact your dealer to have it repaired.
Accidents involving parts that fall or shatter off can cause wounds or serious injury.
Always switch off the unit and remove the battery when transporting the unit.
Do not touch angle transmission and other high temperature components while the product is running
or for some time after it stops.
You could burn yourself if you touch a high temperature component.
Before starting work, check the area where you will be working and remove any small stones
and empty cans likely to ricochet off the cutting attachment, as well as any pieces of string
or wire that might become twisted around the cutting attachment.
An accident or serious injury can occur if foreign objects ricochet off the cutting attachment or wire
and other materials twisted round the product spring off it.
In the following situations, switch off the unit immediately and ensure that the cutting attachments have stopped be-
fore checking each area of the product. Replace any damaged parts.

Basic trimming operation with nylon line cutting head
WARNING
Serious injury may result from the improper use of cutting attachment. Read and comply with all safety instructions
listed in this manual.
Use only cutting attachments recommended by YAMABIKO CORPORATION.
Excessive nylon line beyond cut off knife could fly off when the nylon line cutting head starts rotating after adjust-
ment of nylon line length.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.
Adjusting nylon line
Trimming
Do not rotate the nylon line cutting head at more than 10000 r/
min.
When releasing nylon line from spool, hit tap knob of spool
against the ground surface lightly at rotation speed lower than
4500 r/min.
Cut off knife on the shield adjusts cutting swath automatically
by cutting nylon lines evenly when attachment starts rotating.
When operating with less than maximum cutting swath, cut
two nylon lines in equal lengths.
1. Tap knob
2. Hit knob against the ground surface lightly
3. Nylon line comes out
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish
to cut. Tilt the head slightly to direct the debris away from you.
If cutting up to a barrier such as a fence, wall or tree, approach
from an angle where any debris ricocheting off the barrier will
fly away from you.
Move the nylon line cutting head slowly until the grass is cut
right up to the barrier, but do not jam (overfeed) the line into
the barrier. If trimming up wire mesh or chain link fencing, be
careful to feed only up to the wire. If you go too far, the line will
snap off around the wire.
Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a
time. Place the nylon line cutting head near the bottom of the
weed never high up, which could cause the weed to chatter
and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed right through, just
use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
1. Angle to wall
2. Debris
3. Knife side raised
4. Angle to ground
16
Scything
Scalping and edging
Operation
This is the cutting or mowing of large grassy areas by sweep-
ing or swinging the trimmer in a level arc. Use a smooth, easy
motion. Do not try to hack or chop down the grass. Tilt the nylon line cutting head to direct the debris away from you on the
scything stroke. Then return without cutting grass for another
stroke. If you are well protected and do not care whether some
debris is thrown in your direction, you may scythe in both directions.
Both of these are done with the nylon line cutting head tilted at
a steep angle. Scalping (A) is removing top growth, leaving the
earth bare. Edging (B) is trimming the grass back where it has
spread over a pavement or driveway. During both edging and
scalping, hold the unit at a steep angle in a position where the
debris, and any dislodged dirt and stone, will not come back
towards you even if it ricochets off the hard surface.
Although the pictures show how to edge and scalp, every op-
erator must find for himself the angles which suit his body size
and cutting situation.
For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the nylon line cutting head
so that contact is made on the part of line circle where the line
is moving away from you and the shield (See appropriate picture). This results in the debris being thrown away from you.
Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris toward
you. If the nylon line cutting head is held flat to the ground so
that cutting occurs on the whole line circle, debris will be
thrown at you, drag will slow the unit, and you will use up a lot
of line.
Nylon line cutting head rotates anticlockwise. The knife will be
on the left side of the shield.
1. Debris
2. Cut on this side
Do not push the line into tough weeds, trees, or wire fences.
Pushing the line into chicken wire, chain link fencing or thick
brush can result in snapped-off line ends being hurled back at
the operator. The proper way is to cut right up to a barrier, such
as any of those mentioned, but never run the line into or
through the obstruction. Do not cut closely to obstruction or
barrier.
Avoid nylon line contact with broken wire fencing. Pieces of
wire broken off by the trimmer can be hurled at high speeds.

1. Make sure each periphery of the 2 retaining pawls of housing
spreads almost fully up to the outer periphery of the respective cover window.
2. Check mount of cutting head on trimmer and tighten if it is
loose.
3. Check the cutter head for deflection or abnormal noise rotating it by hand. Deflection or abnormal noise can cause abnormal vibration to occur or mount to trimmer to loosen
during rotation which is dangerous.

Use only flexible, non-metallic line recommended by YAMABIKO CORPORATION.
Failure to do so could lead to an accident or serious injury.
1. Press "retaining pawls" (at two places) inward and remove
cover. It is easier to remove one after another.
2. Remove spool.
3. When nylon line on the spool is almost exhausted, remove
remaining line from spool and wind "new line" according to
the procedures (4) and beyond. When the line on the spool
is "melted and stuck" remove the entire line while peeling off
the "melted and stuck" portion and wind the "removed line"
anew according to procedures (4) and beyond.
4. Bend the line at the point 10 cm away from the middle of
whole length and hook the bent portion into the "notch" of the
intermediate separator.
5. Wind the line firmly into groove of the spool following "winding direction for the line L".
6. When the line is wound to the end hook both line ends into
respective notch of spool for retaining tentatively the line
while leaving line ends approximately 10 cm beyond notch.
7. Align notches of spool for the line with grooves of eyelets
and fit spool into cover.
19
Maintenance and care
8. Pull out the line from cover. (A) Remove the line from "respective notch of spool", and (B) pass it through "groove of
respective eyelet".
9. Fit cover and housing together. (C) Align "eyelets" of cover
with "recesses" of housing, and (D) press pawls of housing
into respective window of cover until the pawls are firmly fitted into the windows.
DANGER
Make sure each outer periphery of pawls of housing
spreads almost fully up to the outer periphery of respective window of cover. If they are loosely fitted and the cutting head is turned, cover or inside components can fly off
which is dangerous.

Pour utiliser l'appareil en toute sécurité
AVERTISSEMENT
Exposition aux vibrations et au froid
Les personnes exposées aux vibrations et au froid peuvent être victimes du phénomène de Raynaud, une affection
qui touche les doigts. L'exposition à des vibrations et au froid peut provoquer une sensation de picotement et de
brûlure, suivie d'une décoloration et d'un engourdissement des doigts. Il est vivement recommandé de respecter les
mesures de précaution suivantes car le seuil d'exposition minimum pouvant provoquer l'apparition de ce phénomène reste inconnu à ce jour.
Limiter la perte de chaleur corporelle, en protégeant en priorité la tête, le cou, les pieds, les chevilles, les mains
et les poignets.
Stimuler la circulation sanguine en interrompant le travail régulièrement pour remuer énergiquement les bras, et
éviter de fumer.
Limiter le nombre d'heures d'utilisation. Essayer d'intégrer à l'emploi du temps de la journée des tâches ne né-
cessitant pas l'utilisation de l'appareil ou d'une autre machine portative.
En cas d'inconfort, de rougeur et de gonflement au niveau des doigts, suivis d'un blanchissement et d'une perte
de sensibilité, consulter un médecin avant de s'exposer à nouveau au froid et aux vibrations.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut être dangereux pour la santé.
Lésions attribuables au travail répétitif
Il apparaît que la sollicitation excessive des muscles et des tendons des doigts, des mains, des bras et des épaules
peut provoquer une irritation, un gonflement, un engourdissement, une faiblesse et de fortes douleurs au niveau des
membres mentionnés ci-dessus. L'apparition de lésions attribuables au travail répétitif (LATR) est très fréquente
chez les personnes pratiquant certaines activités manuelles répétitives. Pour réduire le risque d'apparition de LATR,
respecter les mesures de précaution suivantes :
Éviter de plier, d'étirer ou de tordre le poignet pendant le travail.
Faire des pauses régulières pour réduire l'effet répétitif et pour reposer ses mains. Effectuer le mouvement répé-
titif plus lentement et en faisant moins d'effort.
Faire des exercices de musculation des mains et des bras.
En cas de picotements, d'engourdissement ou de douleur dans les doigts, les mains, les poignets ou les bras,
consulter un médecin. Plus les LATR sont diagnostiquées précocement, plus les chances d'empêcher les lésions
nerveuses et musculaires irréversibles sont grandes.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut être dangereux pour la santé.
Une formation adaptée
Toute personne devant utiliser cet appareil doit obligatoirement avoir reçu une formation et un équipement de pro-
tection adaptés.
Vous devez avoir une connaissance parfaite des commandes et du fonctionnement de l'appareil.
Vous devez savoir comment arrêter l'appareil et couper le moteur.
Vous devez savoir comment décrocher la machine du harnais en urgence.
Ne laisser personne utiliser l'appareil sans avoir préalablement reçu une formation adaptée.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut être dangereux pour la santé.
Port de vêtements adaptés.
Attacher les cheveux longs au-dessus du niveau de l'épaule.
Ne pas porter de cravates, bijoux ou vêtements amples qui pourraient se prendre dans
l'appareil.
Ne pas porter de chaussures ouvertes, ne pas travailler pieds nus ou jambes nues.
Le non-respect de ces mesures de précaution peut entraîner une dégradation de la vue ou de
l'ouïe de l'utilisateur, ainsi qu'un risque de blessure grave.
