Tips
Do not start motor before machine is at area to be worked.
Always hold machine securely in both hands.
Check extension cable is behind you to avoid cutting it.
The blades will propel the machine forwards. Allow the blades to slowly sink into the soil.
Remember to adjust the wheel yoke before use.
When cutting deeply, the most effective method is to allow the blades to propel the ma-
chine forwards for an arms length. Pull the machine back towards you. Allow it to run for-
wards again.
Blades must always operate at maximum speed. Avoid overloading.
If the blades get buried, rock machine from side to side while holding it back, until it comes
free.
