OPERATION
Advance line whenever you hear the engine running
faster than normal. This will maintain best performance
and keep line long enough to advance properly.
OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER (FIG. 11)
Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the front 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 kick-back 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 which 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 may 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 that an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this could minimise 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.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE - BLADE
WARNING
Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure 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

the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.
