TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS (AS A BRUSHCUTTER)
• 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.
• 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.
• The blade has a second cutting edge. If the blade becomes dull,
remove the blade, turn it upside down and reinstall the blade. If
both sides are dull, replace the blade. Refer to Replacing the Blade.
WARNING:
To avoid serious injury to the operator or
others, do not use the blade as an edger.
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.
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.
