CUTTING WORK (LINE HEAD
USAGE)
1. Always wear eye protection such as
safety goggles. Never lean over the
rotating cutting head. Rocks or other
debris could be thrown into eyes
and face and cause serious personal
injury.
2. Keep the debris guard in place at all
times when the unit is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
• Always remember that the TIP of the
line does cutting. You will achieve
better results by not crowding the line
into the cutting area. Allow 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
toward the sweep direction. (OP7)
2. You can avoid thrown debris by
sweeping from your left to the right.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut
heavy growth. The rate of cutting
motion will depend on the material
being cut. Heavy growth will require
slower action than will light growth.
4. Never swing the unit so hard as you
are in danger of losing your balance or
control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with
the hip rather than placing the full
workload on the arm and hands.
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass
and dead, dry, 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.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
• Your brushcutters is equipped with a
semi- auto type nylon line head that
allows the operator 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.
• Each time the head is bumped, the line
advance about 1 inch(25.4 mm). 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.
