MPORTANT!
Units with adjustable carburetors must be readjusted for blade use, otherwise
serious engine damage can occur.
WARNING!
A standard grass trimmer unit with loop handle should NEVER be operated with blade-type attachments. For blade use,
the trimmer must be fitted with a bicycle-type handlebar or barrier bar that is located in front of the operator to reduce the
risk of the operator coming in contact with the cutting attachment. (Per ANSI B175.3). When using a blade, the unit must
be equipped with a harness or strap.
Installing Brushcutter Blade
CAUTION!
Install the blade (E) so its printed surface is visible to the operator when the
brushcutter is in the normal operating position.
WARNING!
The blade must fit flat against the holder flange. The blade mounting
hole must be centered over the raised boss on blade Holder (A1).
WARNING!
Holder (B1) must fit flush against the blade and the splines engaged
to the output shaft.
WARNING!
Do not attach any blade to a unit without proper installation of all
required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to fly off
and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.
