• Cut while swinging the upper part of your
body from right to left.
• Always release the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting.
WARNING:
The blade continues to
spin after the engine is turned off.
The coasting blade can seriously cut
you if accidentally touched.
•
Swing the unit in the same direction as the
blade spins, which increases the cutting
action.
• Move forward to the next area to be cut after
the return swing and plant feet again.
• The cutting blade is designed with a second
cutting edge, which can be used by
removing the blade, turning it upside down,
and reinstalling it.
WARNING:
Do not sharpen the
cutting blade. Sharpening the blade
can cause the blade tip to break
off while in use. This can result in
severe personal injury to yourself
or others. Replace the blade.
