8. Operation
NOTE
• This brush cutter can be operated in either the right
side or left side position. The rope guide position is
fixed for right side position operation when shipped
from the factory.
• Adjust the rope guide position as shown in the figure
to allow the operator in the left-hand position to pull
the recoil starter with the right hand.
• When changing the position from right to left side, or
from left to right side position, be sure to stop the
engine and place the frame on the ground. Change
the orientation of the shaft and carry the frame on the
back again.
• Do not change the orientation of the shaft while carry-
ing the unit on the back.
Otherwise, accidental injury may occur.

WARNING
• The 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. When starting
the engine, place the product onto the ground in a
flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to
ensure that neither the cutting part nor the throttle
come into contact with any obstacle when the en-
gine starts.
■
STOPPING THE ENGINE
WARNING
• Stop the engine immediately in an emergency.
• The blade rotates by inertia for a while after the en-
gine has stopped. Do not touch the blade until the
engine has stopped completely.
• Do not touch the muffler or spark plug with bare
hands immediately after the engines has stopped.
Otherwise you may suffer burns because the muffler
and spark plug are extremely hot.
IMPORTANT
If you stop the engine while keeping the revolution
speed high, the engine could become damaged. Return
the throttle lever to its original position and reduce the
engine speed before stopping the engine except in an
emergency.
1. Return the throttle lever to the idling position.
2. Set the engine stop switch to “stop.”
