USAGE
This machine does cutting not by a rotary cutter like con-
ventional trimmers but by a pair of special blades, each
upper blade and lower blade oscillate opposite direc-
tion alternately within a limited angle at a speed of ap-
proximately 1/30 of conventional trimmers.
This unique mechanism brings you many benefits like
the following:
1. Since the blade does not cause grass chips and
pebbles to the thrown around, you may use less care
about your clothing or surroundings.
2. Should the blade hit a rigid object like stones, trees
or steel poles during operation, it does not produce a
bounce motion that can cause loss of machine con-
trol.
3. Since the blade does not cause cut grass to wrap
around the neck, you need not to stop operation to
remove such wrappers.
What's more, since the whole circle of the blade is avail-
able for cutting, you can move the cutting head in all di-
rections and cut grass growing on such place difficult-to-
get with conventional trimmer.
You can even trim the waterside without splashing water.
HOW TO USE
• Adjust the front handle to the most comfortable position.
• Start the engine and pull the throttle trigger gradually. The
blades will start moving as the engine speed goes up.
• To stop the blade motion, simply release the throttle
trigger. The clutch will disengage and the blades stop
moving while the engine keeps idling.
• Move the cutting head as sliding its bottom on the
ground. This will help you do the job with less effort.
NOTE
a) Avoid running the engine at full throttle with no load.
Continuous no load full throttle operation can cause
damage to the engine and the drive shaft.
b) Operation at too slow engine speed can cause ab-
normal vibration of the machine, resulting in short life
of drive shaft and clutch parts. If you felt such vibra-
tion, use a higher speed range.
c) Though the blades are made of steel harder than con-
ventional metal blades, continuous cutting in soil will
accelerate wear.
