5. For safe operation
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. The area within a perimeter of
15 m (50 ft) of the person using the product should be considered a hazardous area into which no one should enter. If necessary, yellow warning rope, warning signs should be placed around the perimeter of the area. When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more persons, care should also be taken to constantly look around or otherwise check for the presence and locations of other people working so as to maintain a distance between each person sufficient to ensure safety.
2.Check the condition of working area to avoid any accident by hitting hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, cans, or broken glass.
IMPORTANT
Remove any obstacle before beginning work.
3.Inspect the entire unit for loose fasteners and fuel leakage. Make sure that the cutting attachment
is properly installed and securely fastened.
4. Be sure the debris guard is firmly attached in place.
5. Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust the strap for comfort before starting the engine. The strap should be adjusted so the left hand can comfortably hold the handlebar grip approximately waist high.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Keep bystanders and animals at
least 15 m (50 ft) away from the
operating point. If you are ap-
proached, immediately stop the
engine.
2. The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting the throttle into the start position. When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to
ensure that neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts.
WARNING
Never place the throttle into the high-speed position when starting the engine.
3.After starting the engine, check to make sure that the cutting attachment stops rotating when the throttle is moved fully back to its original position. If it continues to rotate even after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and take the unit to your authorized KOMATSU ZENOAH servicing dealer for repair.
USING THE PRODUCT
IMPORTANT
Cut only materials recommended by the manufacturer. And use only for tasks explained in the manual.
1. Grip the handles firmly with both hands using your whole hand. Place your feet slightly apart (slightly further apart than the width of your shoulders) so that your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always be sure to maintain a steady, even posture while working.
2.Keep cutting attachment below waist level.
3.Maintain the speed of the engine at the level required to perform cutting work, and never raise the
speed of the engine above the level necessary.
4. If the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the engine and check the whole unit. Do not use it until the trouble has been properly corrected.
5. Keep all parts of your body away from rotating cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
6. Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the engine while the engine is in operation or immediately after shut-
ting down the engine. Doing so 5
