OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 10)
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut;
■
this is the best cutting area (45).
Do not cut in dangerous cutting area (43).
■
Use the tip of string to do the cutting; do not force
■
string head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear,
■
even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and
wood may wear string rapidly.
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings,
■
siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by
the string.
GRASS DEFLECTOR LINE TRIMMING CUTOFF
BLADE (Fig. 11)
This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off
blade on the grass deflector. For best cutting, advance
string until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade.
Advance string whenever you hear the engine running
faster than normal. This will maintain best performance
and keep string long enough to advance properly.
OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER (Fig. 12 & 13)
Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a firm
grip with both hands while in operation. Brushcutter
should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger
handle about hip height. 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.
Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brushcutter at a
comfortable operating position and to assure that the
shoulder strap will reduce the risk of operator contact
with the blade.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this
unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when the
spinning blade contacts anything it 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.
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 from the right to the left. In the event
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,
this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.

TRI-ARC BLADE
The TRI-ARC blade is suited only for pulpy weeds
and vines. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned
over to extend the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the
TRI-ARC blade.

WARNING
Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to insure safe operation. Read the safety
information for safe operation using the blade,
refer to "Specific Safety Rules for Brushcutter
and Blade Use" earlier in this manual.
Always hold brushcutter 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.
