ENGLISH
remove any obstruction caught or jammed in the
blade or before removing and installing the blade.
■
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
■
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger
released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
■
Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always
make sure blade is installed correctly and securely
fastened before each use.
■
Use only the manufacturer’s replacement TRI-ARC
®
blade intended for use on this brush cutter. Do not
use any other blade.
■
The TRI-ARC
®
blade is suited for cutting pulpy weeds
and vines only. Do not use for any other purpose.
Never use the TRI-ARC
®
blade to cut woody brushes.
■
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with
this unit. 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. Kick back can occur without warning if the blade
snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in
areas where it is difficult 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 kick back reaction.
■
Never cut any material over 13mm diameter.
■
Always wear the shoulder strap when using the
brush cutter and adjust to a comfortable operating
position. Maintain a firm grip on both handles while
cutting with a blade. Keep the blade away from body
and below waist. Never use the brush cutter with the
blade located 75cm or more above the ground level.
■
Cover the blade with the blade protector before
storing the unit, or during transportation. Always
remove the blade protector before using the unit. If
not removed, the blade protector could become a
thrown object as the blade begins to turn.
■
Inspect before use. Replace damaged parts. Make
sure fasteners are in place and secure. Check for fuel
leaks.
■
Replace cutting blade/spool if cracked, chipped,
or damaged in any way. Be sure the blade/spool is
properly installed and securely fastened. Failure to do
so can cause serious injury.
■
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors, and handles
are properly and securely attached.
■
Use only the manufacturer's replacement cutting
blades, spools and line. Do not use any other cutting
attachment. Never use wire or wire-rope, which can
break off and become a dangerous projectile.
■
Never operate the unit without the guard in place and
in good condition.
■
Always shut the engine off before fuelling. Never add
fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move
at least 10m from the refuelling site before starting
engine. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
DO NOT SMOKE
.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
■
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming.
Keep line head below waist level. Never cut with the
line trimmer head located over 75cm or more above
the ground.
■

homeowners and other occasional users for such
general applications as trimming light and heavy

■
Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory
problems in the user’s hands due to vibration. For
