OPERATION
CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 6)
When cutting make sure the cutter head is at a slight angle
as shown. In tall grass cut from the top down to ensure the
moving parts do not get tangled with the long grass / brush.
Move the head in steady strokes from left to right as you
work through the grass / brush.
ADVANCING THE LINE (For Reel Easy
TM
Head)
(Fig. 7)
If the line becomes short, tap the head on the ground
as shown to extend more line. Take care not to ‘crash’ it
against a hard surface.
OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER (Fig. 5)
RBC30SES: Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the
rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.
RBC30SBS: 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 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.

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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to do
so can cause possible injury, poor performance
and may void your warranty.
n The cutting attachment must not work in idle mode.
If this requirement is not satisfied, the clutch has
to be adjusted or the machine needs an urgent
maintenance by a qualified technician.
n You may make adjustments and repairs described
here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by
an authorized service agent.
n Consequences of improper maintenance may
include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of
performance and discharge of black oily residue
dripping from the muffler.
n Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles
are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of
personal injury.
STRING REPLACEMENT (For Reel Easy
TM
Head) (Fig. 9)
Use 2.4mm monofilament string. Use original
manufacturer's replacement string for best performance.
n Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
n Cut one piece of string approximately 7.6m in length.
n Rotate knob on string head until line on knob aligns
with arrows on top of string head.
n Insert one end of string into eyelet located on the
side of the string head and push until string comes
out through eyelet on the other side. Continue to
push string through the string head until the middle
section of the string is inside the string head and
string outside the string head is evenly divided on
each side.
n Rotate the knob counterclockwise on the string head
to wind the string. Wind the string until approximately
20cm remains protruding from the string head.
INSTALLING STRING IN PRO CUT II STRING HEAD
Use monofilament string between 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm
diameter. Use original manufacturer’s replacement string
for best performance.
n Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
n Gather two of the pre-cut lengths of trimmer line provided
or cut two pieces of trimmer line, in 28 cm lengths.
n Insert the strings into the slots located on the sides of
the string head. String should be pushed in until
approximately 2 cm protrudes from the holes on the
top of the string head.
