NOTE!
Press the quick release button or pull emergency
release flap (If so equipped) in the event of
emergency. (Fig. 2-4C)
Stopping (Fig. 2-5)
Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for
a few minutes, then turn off ignition switch.
WARNING!
A cutting attachment can injure while it
continues to spin after the engine is stopped
or power control is released.
When the unit is turned off, make sure the
cutting attachment has stopped before the unit
is set down.
When cutting, operate engine at over 6500 rpm.
Extended time of use at low rpm may wear out
the clutch prematurely.
Cut grass from right to left.
Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade
contacts a solid object in the critical area.
A dangerous reaction may occur causing the
entire unit and operator to be thrust violently.
This reaction is called BLADE THRUST. As a
result, the operator may lose control of the unit
which may cause serious or fatal injury. Blade
thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it
is difficult to see the material to be cut.
Wear the harness as shown in the figure (if so
equipped). The blade turns counter-clockwise,
therefore, be advised to operate the unit from
right to left for efficient cutting. Keep onlookers
out of working area at least 15 m (50 ft.).

WARNING!

stones or other debris, stop the engine and
make sure that the attachment and related
parts are undamaged. When grass or vines
wrap around attachment, stop engine and
attachment and remove them.
