when assembling and using this kit with your unit.
• Clear the area to be cut 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 attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all
children, bystanders and pets outside a 50 ft. (15 m.)
radius; there still may be a risk to bystanders from
thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to
wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the
engine and cutting attachment immediately.
WHILE OPERATING
• Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked as
meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989 standards, and
ear/hearing protection when operating this unit. Wear
a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Long
sleeve shirts are recommended.
• Wear heavy, long pants, boots, gloves and a long
sleeve shirt. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
short pants, sandals or go barefoot. Secure hair
above shoulder level.
• The cutting attachment shield must always be in
place while operating the unit as a trimmer. Do not
operate unit without both trimming lines extended,
and the proper line installed. Do not extend the trim-
ming line beyond the length of the shield.
• Read and follow the operator’s manual for the unit
this kit is intended for
• Adjust the J-handle to provide the best grip.

balance.
• Always hold the unit with both hands when
operating. Keep a firm grip on both the front and rear
handle or grips.
• Keep hands, face, and feet at a distance from all
moving parts. Do not touch or try to stop the cutting
attachment when it is rotating.
• Do not operate the engine faster than the speed
needed to cut, trim or edge. Do not run the engine at
high speed when not cutting.
• Always stop the engine when cutting is delayed or
when walking from one cutting location to another.
• If you strike or become entangled with a foreign
object, stop the engine immediately and check for
damage. Do not operate before repairing damage.
Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged parts.

attachment and shield.
WHILE OPERATING WITH CUTTING BLADE
• Read and understand all safety warnings before
operating this unit.
• Always use the shoulder harness when using the
brush blade accessory.
• Keep the handle between the operator and cutting
attachment or blade at all times.
• NEVER cut with the cutting blade located over 30
inches (76 cm) or more above the ground level.
• Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade
contacts an object that it does not immediately cut.
Blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the unit
and/or operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly 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 operation with the blade, do not cut anything
thicker than 1/2 inch or a violent kickback could
occur.
• Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
• A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or the throttle
trigger is released. Maintain proper control until the
blade has completely stopped rotating.
• Do not run the unit at high speed when not cutting.
• If you strike or become entangled with a foreign
object, stop the engine immediately and check for
damage. Have any damage repaired before attempt-
ing further operations. Do not operate unit with a
bent, damaged or dull blade. Discard blades that are
bent, warped, or damaged.
• Do not sharpen the cutting blade. Sharpening the
blade can cause the blade tip to break off while in
use. This can result in severe personal injury. Replace
the blade.
