Brush Cutting (Fig. G, H)
With the brush cutter on, angle it and swing side to side as
shown in Fig. G.
Maintain a minimum distance of 24" (610 mm) between the
guard and your feet as shown in Fig. H.
WARNING: Keep the rotating blade roughly parallel
with the ground (tilted no more than 30 °). This trimmer
is not an edger. DO NOT TILT the brush cutter so that
the blade is spinning near a right angle to the ground.
Flying debris can cause serious injury.
Helpful Cutting Tips
•
Use the tip of the blade to do the cutting; do not force
tool head into uncut grass.
•
Wire and picket fences cause extra blade wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may
wear string rapidly.
•
In long growth, cut from the top down and do not
exceed 12" (305 mm) high.
•
Keep brush cutter head tilted toward the area being cut;
this is the best cutting area.
•
The brush cutter cuts best when passing the unit
from the left to right. This will avoid throwing debris at
the operator.
•
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding,
and fence posts can easily be damaged by the blade.
