the cutting attachment begins to 
rotate as soon as the engine is 
started  by  putting  the  throttle 
trigger  into  the  start  position. 
When starting the engine, place 
the product onto the ground in a 
flat clear area and hold it firmly 
in  place  so  as  to  ensure  that 
neither  the  cutting  part  nor  the 
throttle trigger come into contact 
with any obstacle when the en-
gine starts.

WARNING

Never  place  the  throttle  trigger 
into  the  high-speed  position 
when starting the engine.

3.  After starting the engine, check 

to make sure that the cutting at-
tachment stops rotating when the 
throttle is moved fully back to its 
original position. If it continues to 
rotate even after the throttle trig-
ger has been moved fully back, 
turn off the engine and take the 
unit to your authorized ZENOAH 
servicing dealer for repair.

 USING THE PRODUCT

IMPORTANT

Cut only materials recommended by 
the manufacturer. And use only for 
tasks explained in the manual. 

1.  Grip the handles firmly with both 

hands  using  your  whole  hand. 
Place  your  feet  slightly  apart 
(slightly  further  apart  than  the 
width of your shoulders) so that 
your weight is distributed evenly 
across both legs, and always be 
sure to maintain a steady, even 
posture while working.

2.  Keep cutting attachment below 

waist level. 

3.  Maintain the speed of the engine 

at the level required to perform 
cutting work, and never raise the 
speed of the engine above the 
level necessary.

4.  If the unit starts to shake or vi-

brate,  turn  off  the  engine  and 
check the whole unit. Do not use 
it until the trouble has been prop-
erly corrected.

5.  Keep all parts of your body away 

NOTE

Check and follow the local regula-
tions as to sound level and hours of 
operations for the product.

 BEFORE STARTING THE 

ENGINE

1.  The area within a perimeter of 15 

m of the person using the prod-
uct  should  be  considered  a 
hazardous  area  into  which  no 
one  should  enter.  If  necessary, 
yellow  warning  rope,  warning 
signs should be placed around 
the perimeter of the area. When 
work is to be performed simulta-
neously by two or more persons, 
care  should  also  be  taken  to 
constantly look around or other-
wise check for the presence and 
locations of other people working 
so  as  to  maintain  a  distance 
between each person sufficient 
to ensure safety.

2.  Check the condition of working 

area  to  avoid  any  accident  by 
hitting hidden obstacles such as 
stumps, stones, cans, or broken 
glass.

IMPORTANT

Remove any obstacle before begin-
ning work.

3.  Inspect the entire unit for loose 

fasteners and fuel leakage. Make 
sure that the cutting attachment 
is  properly  installed  and  se-
curely fastened. 

4.  Be  sure  the  cutting  attachment 

guard  is  firmly  attached  in 
place. 

5.  Always use the harness. Adjust 

the  harness  for  comfort  before 
starting the engine. The harness 
should  be  adjusted  so  the  left 
hand  can  comfortably  hold  the 
handlebar  grip  approximately 
waist high.

 STARTING THE ENGINE

1.  Keep bystanders and animals at 

least 15 m away from the operat-
ing point. If you are approached, 
immediately stop the engine. 

2.  The product is equipped with a 

centrifugal clutch mechanism, so 

 5. For safe operation
