2. The operator’s right hand should be holding the shaft grip, with his or

her fingers on the throttle trigger. The right arm should be slightly

bent.

3. The left hand should be holding the loop handle with the fingers and

thumb fully enclosed around the grip. The left arm should be ex-

tended. Reposition the loop handle up or down the shaft assembly if

necessary for a comfortable position.

2. The operator’s right hand should be holding the right-hand horn han-

dle grip, with the fingers on the throttle trigger.

5. Accelerate and hold the engine at cutting speed before entering the

material to be cut.

6. Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to

idle speed when not cutting.
