cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and suddenly
thrust the unit away from the object that was hit, or kickback. This reaction can be
violent enough to cause the operator to lose
control of the unit. Blade thrust can
occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to
occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For cutting ease
and safety, approach the weeds being cut with the brush cutter, from the right to the
left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this practice
could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with the bottom
of the engine above waist level.
IMPORTANT:
Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as
rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string which can be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting line or blade.
Blade
The blade is suited only for thicker weeds and pulpy stalks. When the blade
becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend its life.
Cutting Technique – Blade:
WARNING:
Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure safe
operation. For safe operation using the blade, refer to “Additional Safety Rules
for Brush Cutter / Trimmer Use” earlier in this manual.
Always hold brush cutter on your right side with both hands when operating.
Use a firm grip on both handles.
Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will
not be drawn off balance by the kickback reaction of the cutting blade.
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such as glass, rocks, concrete,
fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.
Never use blades near sidewalks, fencing, posts, buildings or other immovable
objects.
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for
damage. Do not use if any damage is detected.
The unit is used as a scythe, cutting from the right to the left in a broad
sweeping action from side to side.
Use only the supplied blade. To install any other brand blade or cutting head to
this brush cutter can result in serious personal injury.
Line Trimmer Head
Use the line trimmer head for cutting grass along borders or near sidewalks,
fencing, posts, buildings or other immovable objects, where using a blade would
be dangerous.
Cutting Technique– Line Trimmer Head
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area.
Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force line head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage. Stone and brick
walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can
easily be damaged by the line.
To advance the Cutting Line
Line advance is controlled by “Bumping” the line head on grass while running
engine at full throttle.
1. Run engine at full throttle.
2. “Bump” the spool retainer on ground to advance line. The line advances each
time the spool retainer is bumped. Do not hold the spool retainer on the ground.
