CORRECT HANDLING OF MACHINE
Attaching the shoulder harness
Put on the shoulder harness and connect the buckle,
ensuring that it is properly fastened. Attach the
brushcutter to the harness and adjust the strap length so
that the cutter blade or the nylon cutting head will be
kept parallel to the ground.
Releasing the shoulder harness
In an emergency, pull the release belt strongly upward
to detach the machine from you. Be extremely careful to
maintain control of the machine at this time.
DO NOT allow the machine to be deflected toward you
or anyone in the vicinity.
WARNING:
to avoid serious injury
Failure to maintain complete control of the machine at all
times could result in serious bodily injury or death.
NOTE
Use the hook to connect and disconnect the brushcutter.
DO NOT use the quick release mechanism except in
emergency.
Handling
Hang the machine on the right side of your body.
Squeeze the throttle lever, and the rotational speed will
be increased. Release it and the engine will run at low
speed (idle). Use a rotational speed suitable for the grass
being cut. If the rotational speed is excessively low, grass
may become jammed in the cutter blade.
During grass cutting, hold the machine firmly to permit
easy, controlled handling.
NEVER strike or tap objects with the cutter blade or the
nylon cutting head.
