8. Operation
(Optional blade usage EX2-BC only)
■ OPERATION
1. Check the bolt to fasten the blade and be sure
the bolt has no fault, and no abrasion.
2. Be sure that the blade and the holder have been
fastened according to instruction and the blade
turns smoothly without abnormal noise. (OP7)
• The rotating parts fastened incorrectly may
cause serious accident to the operator.
• Make sure that the blade is not bent, warped,
cracked, broken or damaged.
• If you find any error to the blade, discard it
and change new one which is certified by
RedMax.
■ By using the shoulder strap, hang the unit on
your right side. Adjust the strap length so that
the cutting head may become parallel to the
ground.(OP8)
Make sure to use shoulder strap and debris
guard. If not, it is very dangerous when you slip
or lose your balance.
■ CONTROLLING BLADE THRUST
• Blade thrust can cause serious personal injury.
Carefully study this section. It is important that
you understand what causes blade thrust, how
you can reduce the chance of blade thrust and
how you can remain in control of the unit if blade
thrust does occur.
1. What causes blade thrust:
• Blade thrust can occur when the moving blade
contacts an object that it cannot cut. This contact
causes the blade to stop for an instant and then
suddenly move or ”bounce” away from the object
that was hit. The operator can lose control of the
unit and the blade can cause serious personal
injury to the operator or any person nearby if the
blade contacts any part of the body.
