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.

BLADE PROTECTOR (Fig. 10)
Always place the blade protector on the blade when the
unit is not in use. The blade protector has clips round the
edges to snap over the blade and keep it in place. Wear
gloves and be cautious when handling the blade.
NOTE: Always remove the blade protector before
using the unit. If not removed, the blade protector could
become a thrown object as the blade begins to turn.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND
SILENCER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust
port and silencer may become blocked with carbon
deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol
powered tool, a qualified service technician will need to
remove these deposits to restore performance.
SPARK ARRESTOR
It is recommended to clean or replace the spark arrestor
every 25 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance
of your product. Spark arrestors may be in different
locations depending on the model purchased. Please
contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the
spark arrestor for your model.
