Husqvarna 330iKE Operator's Manual page 7

• Do not operate the machine on excessively
steep slopes. This reduces the risk of loss
of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
• When working on slopes, always be sure
of your footing, always work across the
face of slopes, never up or down and
exercise extreme caution when changing
direction. This reduces the risk of loss
of control, slipping and falling which may
result in personal injury.
• Keep all power cords and cables away
from cutting area. Power cords or cables
may be hidden in hedges or bushes and
can be accidentally cut or damaged by the
line or cutter.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the
moving trimmer cutter or line. Do not clear
material from the machine until it has been
disconnected from the power source. The
moving trimmer cutter or line may result in
serious personal injury.
• Carry the machine with the machine
switched off and away from your body.
Proper handling of the machine will reduce
the likelihood of accidental contact with a
moving trimmer cutter or line.
• Only use replacement cutting heads and
trimmer cutters or lines specified by the
manufacturer. Do not replace the trimmer
cutters or lines with metal wires or blades.
Incorrect replacement parts may cause
loss of control, breakage and injury.
Blade thrust causes and related warnings
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the machine and position your arms to
resist blade thrust. Position your body to
the left side of the machine. Blade thrust
can increase the risk of injury due to
the machine moving unexpectedly. Blade
thrust can be controlled by the operator if
proper precautions are taken.
• If the blade binds, or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch the machine
off and hold the machine motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. While the blade is binding,
never attempt to remove the machine from
the material or pull the machine backward
while the blade is in motion, otherwise
blade thrust may occur. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.

• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt
or damaged blades increase the risk of
jamming or catching on an object, resulting
in blade thrust.
• Always maintain good visibility of the
material being cut. Blade thrust is more
likely to occur in areas where it is difficult
to see the material being cut.
• If you are approached by another person
while operating the machine, switch the
machine off. There is an increased risk of
injury to other persons being struck by the
moving blade in the event of blade thrust.
