three hours of operation.
• Always wear gloves when handling the metal blade.
• Always attach the blade cover when the tool is not in
use or is being transported.

or deformation on the spring washer, replace the nut.
Ask your local authorized service center to order it.
• Replace the cup in case of crack or breakage due to

Mount the metal blade onto the shaft so that the guide of
the receive washer fits in the arbor hole in the metal
blade. Install the clamp washer and secure the metal
blade with the hex nut with 13 to 23 Nm of tightening
torque during holding the receive washer with hex
wrench. (Fig. 19)

OPERATION

Correct handling of tool
WARNING:
• Be extremely careful to maintain control of the tool
at all times. Do not allow the tool to be deflected
toward you or anyone in the work vicinity. Failure to
keep control of the tool could result in serious injury to
the bystander and the operator.
Correct posture
WARNING:
• Always hold the both grips firmly and position the
tool on your right-hand side so that the shaft of the
left handle is always in front of your body. Correct
positioning of the tool allows for maximum control and
will reduce the risk of serious personal injury caused by
kickback.
Fit the shoulder harness and hang the tool firmly on your
right side so that the shaft of the left handle is always
ahead of you. (Fig. 25)
Attachment of shoulder harness
Wear the shoulder harness on your left shoulder. Make
sure that the buckle cannot be taken off with pulling it off.
Hang the tool as shown. (Fig. 26)
The buckle is provided with a means of quick release.
Simply squeeze the sides of the buckle to release the tool.

Adjustment of the hanger position and shoulder
harness
To change the hanger position, loosen the fixing screw on
the hanger with the supplied wrench and then move the
hanger and the cushion. The cushion can be moved
easily by twisting it.

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing the nylon cord
