OPERATION
Preparation for Cutting
WARNING: When using rigid
blades (only S and T models),
avoid cutting close to fences,
sides of buildings, tree trunks,
stones or other such objects that
could cause the brush cutter to
kick out or could cause damage
to the blade. We recommends use
of the nylon line heads for such
jobs. In addition, be alert to an
increased possibility of ricochets
in such situations.
WARNING: The brush cutter is
normally to be used at ground
level with the cutting attachment
parallel to the ground. Use of a
brush cutter above ground level
or with the cutting attachment
perpendicular to the ground may
increase the risk of injury, since
the cutting attachment is more
fully exposed and the brush cutter
may be more difficult to control.
Never use your brush cutter as a
hedge trimmer.
WARNING: If the blade loosens
after being properly tightened,
stop work immediately. The
retaining nut may be worn or
damaged and should be replaced.
Never use unauthorized parts
to secure the blade. If the blade
continues to loosen, see your
dealer. Never use a brush cutter
with a loose blade.
Basic Cutting Procedure
1. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
