Save these instructions.
1) Work Area
a) Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, string etc.
that can be thrown or become entangles in the cutting
attachment.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Take extra care in dangerous environments. To avoid
falling, do not use the product in damp or wet locations.
2) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired, ill or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. Operate unit only if you are physically
and mentally well. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries. Wear no-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to
improve your grip on the handle. Gloves also reduce the
transmission of machine vibration to your hands.
c) Always wear protective clothing - long heavy pants,
boots and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery,
short pants, open toed shoes or go barefoot. Secure hair so
that it is above shoulder level to avoid entanglement in
moving parts.
d) Choose the right time of day. Heavy protective clothing
can increase operator fatigue which may lead to heat stroke.
Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon
hours when temperatures are cooler.
e) Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Keep pets, children, and bystanders outside a 15m
radius.
3) Power Tool Use And Care
a) Check condition of multi-tool before use. The multi-tool
should be assembled as per manufacturer's instructions. Do
not attach any blade to a product without proper installation of
all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause
the blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or
bystanders. Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked,
broken or damaged in any way.
b) Never start or run the product inside a closed room or
building. Breathing exhaust fumes can cause illness or
death.
c) Mix and pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks
or flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only after stopping the
engine. Do not smoke while fuelling or mixing fuel. Wipe
spilled fuel from the product immediately. Move at least 9m
from the fuelling source and site before starting engine.
d) Keep the cutting attachment below waist level. Keep all
parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment
and hot surfaces.
e) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
f) Beware of blade thrust. Blade thrust may occur when the
spinning blade contacts an object that it does not immediately
cut. A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the product
and/or operator to be propelled in any direction and possibly
lase control of the product. Blade thrust can occur 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.
g) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not tum it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
h) Tum tool off completely before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
i) Stopping the multi-tool. A coasting blade can cause injury
while it continues to spin after the engine is stopped or the
throttle is released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
j) Taking care with adjustments. During carburetor
adjustments the cutting attachment may spin. Therefore you
should wear protective equipment and observe all safety
instructions when adjusting the carburetor.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5.
RA0038LS
k) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
l) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
m) Inspect the product before each use. Replace damaged
parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in
place and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are
cracked chipped or damaged in any way. Make sure the
cutting attachment guard is properly installed and in the
position recommended by the manufacturer. NEVER use wire
or wire rope which can break off and become a dangerous
projectile.
n) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
o) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
4) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6.
EFFECTS OF VIBRATION
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon,
which affects the fingers of certain individuals, may be bought
about by exposure to vibration and cold – it may cause
tingling and burning sensations, followed by loss of colour and
numbness in the fingers.
If you continue to use high-vibration tools these symptoms will
probably get worse, for example:
• The numbness in your hands could become
permanent and you won't be able to feel things at all;
• You will have difficulty picking up small objects such as
screws or nails;
• The vibration white finger could happen more
frequently and affect more of your fingers.
Protecting your Body from Vibration
The following precautions are strongly recommended, because
the minimum exposure, which may trigger the ailment is
unknown.
1. Always use the right tool for each job (to do the job more
quickly and expose you to less hand-arm vibration).
2. Check tools before using them to make sure they have been
properly maintained and repaired to avoid increased
vibration caused by faults or general wear.
3. Make sure cutting tools are kept sharp so that they remain
efficient.
4. Reduce the amount of time you use a tool in one go, by
doing other jobs in between. Try to fill each day with jobs
where operating the unit or other hand-held power
equipment is not required.
5. Avoid gripping or forcing a tool or workpiece more than you
have to.
6. Store tools so that they do not have very cold handles when
next used.
7. If you experience discomfort, redness, swelling of the fingers
followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your
physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
8. Maintain good blood circulation by:
• Keeping your body warm, especially the head, neck,
feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
• Giving up or cutting down on smoking because
smoking reduces blood flow
• Performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent
work breaks.
REPETITIVE STRESS INJURY (RSI)
It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the
fingers, arms, hands and shoulders may cause swelling,
soreness, numbness, weakness or extreme pain in those
areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high
risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI).
An extreme RSI condition is Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
which can occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital
nerve that runs through the area. It is believed that prolonged
exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause
severe pain for months or even years.
POWER PRODUCTS LLC.
!
!
To reduce the risks of RSI/ CTS do the following:
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted
position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist
position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand,
not just the thumb and index finger.
• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest
your hands.
• Reduce the speed and force with which you do the
repetitive movement.
• Do exercise to strengthen the hand and arm muscles.
• Immediately stop using all your power equipment and
consult a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain
in the fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI/
CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent muscle
damage can be prevented.
SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
Be very careful when operating the multi-tool over uneven or
rough ground, and when the ground is wet and slippery.
Watch out for hidden obstacles that could cause you to
stumble. Operate the multi-tool only under conditions with
good visibility. Do not operate the multi-tool where you cannot
see what it is cutting.
WARNING! Rotating cutting lines can cause serious
abrasions and cuts, and blades can cut deeply.
• Keep away from the cutting lines or blade whenever
the engine is running.
• Always stop the engine, and be sure the cutting line
head has stopped turning, before inspecting or
handling the cutting lines or blade.
THROWN DEBRIS
The multi-tool will throw debris in the direction of blade
movement at the point of contact.The cutting line head or
blade on the Qualcut multi-tool rotates anti-clockwise as
viewed from the operator's position, so tilting the cutting line
head to the right will throw debris away from you, and tilting to
the left will throw debris towards you.
If the cutting line head or blade is held parallel to the ground,
debris will scatter in all directions, and there will be greater
friction which will wear out the cutting line or blade sooner.
When operating the trimmer near a hard surface such as a
wall, work from an angle where debris that strikes the hard
surface will ricochet away from you.
Gravel, loose stones, etc. can be picked up by the nylon
cutting lines or blade and thrown many feet with enough force
to cause serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Before crossing graveled areas, release the throttle trigger to
stop the cutting line head or blade.
WARNING! Keep all bystanders, especially children
and pets at least 15m from the operating area.
BLADE THRUST (KICKBACK)
Blade thrust (kickback) is the sudden, forceful, and
un-controlled movement of a blade-equipped multi-tool that
may occur if the blade binds in the cut or strikes a solid object.
It throws the multi-tool in the direction opposite blade rotation
at the point of contact, and the jolt received by the operator
can result in further loss of control.

To reduce the risk of loss of control:
• Replace or re-sharpen dull blades. Dull blades are
more likely to bind in the cut and cause blade thrust.
• Watch out for hidden obstacles, such as rocks, stumps,
roots, etc., that could cause the blade to kick back if
struck. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas
where it is difficult to see what is being cut.
• Understand the reaction forces of the blade.
• When using a brush blade to saw through heavy brush
and small saplings, saw with the side of the brush
blade that is moving toward you and tends to pull the
multi-tool away from you.
• Blades on Qualcut multi-tools rotate counterclockwise,
as viewed from the operator's position. Therefore, the
left side of the blade is moving toward you. Sawing
with the left side of a brush blade will give you better
control and less risk of kickback, though it will throw the
sawdust toward you.
• Cut from the side of saplings that will cause them to fall
away from the multi-tool. This will help prevent the
blade from binding in the cut and kicking back.
• Accelerate the engine to maximum speed before
starting the cut, and saw through with uniform
pressure.
Operation on Slopes
• Start on the low side of a slope, and work upward. This
will reduce your risk of slipping and falling, and it will
give you a cutting angle that will better enable you to
direct debris away from you.
• Do not let the cutting line or blade dig into the slope,
because that can cause stones and dirt to be thrown at
you.
• Do not raise the cutting attachment above waist level
during operation, because that would increase the risk
of thrown objects striking your face.
• Avoid steep slopes that would require holding the
cutting attachment above waist level. Avoid slippery
slopes that might cause you to lose your balance.
