8.3.2 TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
Always remember that the TIP of the line does the
cutting. You will achieve better results by not crowd-
ing the line into the cutting area and allowing the unit
to trim at its own pace.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground
and is tilted about 20 degrees towards the
sweeping direction.
2. To avoid thrown debris, move the Brush Cutter
in a sweeping movement from left to the right.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy
growth. The rate of cutting motion will depend
on what is being cut. Heavy growth will require
a slower action in comparison to light growth.
4. Never swing the unit in an extreme motion or
with physical force, this is extremely dangerous
as you may lose balance or control of the unit.
5. Control the cutting motion with your hips rather
than placing the full workload on the arms and
hands.
6. Take extra care to avoid wires, dead or dry
grass, long-stem weeds from wrapping around
the head shaft. Such materials can stall the
head and cause the clutch to slip, resulting
in damage to the clutch system if repeated
frequently.
8.3.3 ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
•
The brush cutter is equipped with a semi-auto
type nylon line head that allows the oper-
ator to advance the line without stopping the
engine. When the line becomes short, lightly
tap the head on the ground while running the
engine at full throttle to extend it. Each time the
head is bumped, the line advances about 1 inch
(25.4mm).
•
For better effect, tap the head on bear ground
or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick, tall grass
as the engine may stall by overload.
8.3.4 CHOOSE THE BLADE
•
Choose a suitable recommended cutting
attachment according to the object to be cut.
•
When replacing the blade always be sure to use
products, which have been certified.
WARNING
When sharpening, removing, or reattaching the
blade, be sure to wear thick, sturdy gloves and use
only proper tools and equipment to prevent injury.
8.3.5 SET UP
(1) Cover
(2) Holder
1. Detach the line head assembly completely.
2. Put on the blade, making the marked side face
the holder, put on the outer holders and fasten
the blade with the blade nut.
8.3.6 STARTING THE ENGINE
Please refer to the manual for safe operation.
WARNING
This product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch
mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to
rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting
the throttle into the start position.
8.3.7 CUTTING METHOD
1. Use the front left side cutting.
2. Guide the blade from your right to left with it
tilted slightly to your left.
3. When mowing a wide area, start working from
your left to avoid interference of cut grass.
4.
The blade could be seized by weeds if the
