harness. Carefully adjust the harness
to fit comfortably and help to support
the weight of the machine at your
right side.

the case of an emergency. Never wear
additional clothing over the harness

the weeds being cut from the right to
the left. In the event an unexpected
object or woody stock is encountered,
this practice could minimize the blade
thrust reaction. Both hands must
be used at all times to control this
product.
