When the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on the ground while running the
engine at full throttle.
6.14
Each time the head is bumped, the line advances about 1” (25mm).
For better effect, tap the head on bare ground or hard soil.
6.15
Use the front left side for cutting.
6.16
Guide the cutting blade from your right to left with the head slightly tilted to your left.
6.17
When clearing a wide area, start working from your left and work towards the right to
avoid the interference of cut grass.
6.18
The blade may be clogged by weeds if the engine speed is too low or if the blade cuts
too deeply into the weeds.
Adjust the engine speed and cutting depth according to the depth of object.
6.19
Avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your left to right.
6.20
Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.
The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material being cut.
Heavy growth will require a slower action than light growth.
6.21
Never swing the machine hard as to lose your balance.
6.22
Try to control the cutting motion with your hips rather than placing the full workload on
your arms or hands.
6.23
Make sure the harness adjustment is correct.
6.24
Ensure the area to be cleared is free of debris, wire or any other materials that may
become entangled around the brush cutter head.
Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to
the clutch.
6.25
Do not lift the machines head height above knee level.
6.26
Never over cut, instead cut short lengths the cut successively lower heights.
6.27
Be aware of kickback.
Kickback occurs when the blade comes in to contact with a static object and can thrust
the machine in the opposite direction of the machines rotation.
