To ensure safe operation
Operator Responsibility
Do not use the grass/weed trimmer with worn or damaged parts.
Parts must be replaced, or repaired. Replace worn or damaged parts
with Honda genuine parts. Non equivalent quality parts may
damage the machine and be prejudicial to your safety.
Adjust the holding position of your grass/weed trimmer.
Be sure to adjust the holding position with the engine stopped.
Adjust the carrying harness so that the quick-release latch is
positioned at your hip. Hook the grass/weed trimmer to the carrying
harness. Adjust the carrying harness length so that the cutting
attachment is parallel to the ground and stays above the ground
keeping the clearance specified below.
Note that it might be hard to hold the grass/weed trimmer in the
correct position if you are very tall. Do not operate the grass/weed
trimmer if the cutting attachment is close to your feet when you hold
the grass/weed trimmer at the correct position.
Check the balance of the grass/weed trimmer between its front and
rear sides for proper control and less fatigue.
Hold the grass/weed trimmer in the correct position as described
above.
Slacken your grip on the handle gradually. Do not release but put
your hands lightly on the handle and check that the cutting
attachment-to-ground clearance does not change large this time.
Balancing adjustment is necessary if the cutting attachment rises
above your knees. Do not operate the grass/weed trimmer without
the balancing adjustment.
Hold the grass/weed trimmer firmly with your both hands during
operation to keep the trimmer under control at all times.
Parallel to the ground and 10 30 cm
