English(Original instructions)
Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position
yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the
kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.
Adjust the strap hanger to a comfortable position.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with the
product. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when
the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was
hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may occur
without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds. This is
more likely to occur in areas where it is dif
¿
cult to see the
material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach
the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
TRI-ARC BLADE
The Tri-Arc blade is suited for cutting pulpy weeds and
vines only. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned
over to extend its life. Do not sharpen the Tri-Arc blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE

are not moving. Exercise extreme caution when using
