HOLDING THE UNIT
DANGER:
Keep all body parts (hands, feet, face, etc.)
away from moving blades. Contact with moving blades will
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear appropriate eye, hearing, hand,
foot and body protection to reduce the risk of injury when
operating this unit. Wear head protection. Use a full face
shield when needed. Refer to the Safety section for
appropriate safety equipment information.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, avoid arm
contact with the engine while operating the unit. The engine
may be extremely hot.
•
Stand in the operating position (Fig. 23). Stand up straight. Do
not bend over.
•
Keep feet apart and firmly planted.
•
Hold the shaft grip with the right hand. Keep the right arm slightly
bent.
•
Hold the handle with the left hand. Keep the left arm straight.
•
Hold the unit at waist level.
•
Position the cutting head / blade a few inches above the ground.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS (AS A BRUSHCUTTER)
WARNING:
To avoid serious injury to the operator or
others, do not use the blade as an edger.
•
Keep the blade parallel to the ground.
•
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. This provides
maximum cutting power and makes the blade less likely to bind,
stall or cause blade thrust.
WARNING:
Blade thrust can 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.
•
To direct clippings away from the operator, cut from left to right
whenever possible.
•
Always release the throttle control and allow the unit to idle when
not cutting.
•
When finished, always unsnap the shoulder strap from the unit
before taking off the shoulder strap.
•
Never use a dull blade. If the blade becomes dull, refer to
Maintaining the Blade in the Maintenance section.
WARNING:
The blade will continue to spin for a while
after the unit is turned off. To avoid serious personal injury,
do not touch a coasting blade.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always turn
the unit off before removing debris from the unit. Allow the
blade to come to a complete stop.
