NEVER
operate the unit without proper guards, shields
or other safety protective devices in place and properly
connected. Inspect to determine that these safety
devices are installed properly, are in good condition and
operate properly. If the condition or operation of these
devices are abnormal, they must be repaired or replaced
before using the unit.
Make sure the cutting head stops turning when the
throttle trigger is released and the engine runs at idle
speed.
DO NOT
use any accessory or attachment other than
those supplied by the manufacturer for use with this
particular unit.
Use only for jobs explained in this manual.
Inspect the entire unit before using each time for worn,
loose or damaged parts.
DO NOT
use until the unit is in proper working order.
DO NOT
attach any blade to a unit without proper
installation of all working parts.
CAUTIONS DURING OPERATION
If it is necessary to cut where people or cars could be hit
by thrown objects, cut at reduced (slow) throttle speed
to reduce the speed of the cutting head.
CAUTION:
to avoid serious injury
Shut down immediately if the unit starts to shake or vibrate.
This could be a sign of danger from a broken part or missing
fasteners.
Disconnect the spark plug lead before you work on the
unit or leave it unattended.
Always keep both hands on the control handles.
DO NOT
operate one-handed.
DO NOT
hold material you are cutting.
WARNING:
to avoid serious injury
After shutting down the engine, keep fingers and feet away
from the cutting head until all rotation stops.
NEVER
use wire in place of the nylon monofilament cutting
lines.
The wire tip can break off during cutting and become a
dangerous missile.
DO NOT
put hands or feet near or under rotating parts while
engine is running.
