Shoulder Strap
NOTE:
Although a shoulder strap accessory is not required for use with a grass trimmer, a shoulder
strap can increase operator comfort during extended periods of operation.
WARNING!
Always wear a shoulder strap when operating this unit with a blade. A shoulder strap is also
recommended when using trimmer line.
NOTE:
Using a shoulder strap with a brush-cutter allows you to maintain proper control of the unit and
reduces fatigue during extended operation.
Adjust the shoulder strap so the shoulder pad rests comfortably on the off-side shoulder and the cutting path of the cutting attach-
ment is parallel to the ground. Tighten hanger screw.
WARNING!
A standard grass trimmer unit with loop handle should NEVER be operated with blade-type attachments. For blade use,
the trimmer must be fitted with a bicycle-type handlebar or barrier bar that is located in front of the operator to reduce the
risk of the operator coming in contact with the cutting attachment. (Per ANSI B175.3). When using a blade, the unit must
be equipped with a harness or strap.
