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! Keep all bystanders, especially children

THROWN DEBRIS of control.
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. Blade
When operating the trimmer near a hard surface such as a thrust
