more likely to occur in areas where it is diffi-

cult to see the material being cut. By using

the unit properly, the occurrence of blade

thrust will be reduced and the operator will

be less likely to lose control.

S Cut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up to

1 cm in diameter with weed blade. Do not let

blade contact material it cannot cut such as

stumps, rocks, fences, metal, etc., or clusters

of hard, woody brush with a diameter greater

than 1 cm.

S Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is more likely

to snag and thrust.

S Cut only at full throttle. The blade will have

maximum cutting power and is less likely to

bind or stall.

S "Feed" the blade deliberately and not too

rapidly. The blade can thrust away if it is fed

too rapidly.

S Cut only from your left to your right. Cutting on

right side of the shield will throw debris away

from the operator.

S Use the shoulder strap and keep a firm grip

on the unit with both hands. A properly ad-

justed shoulder strap will support the weight

of the unit, freeing your arms and hands to

control and guide the cutting motion.

S Keep feet comfortably spread apart and

braced for a possible sudden, rapid thrust of

unit. Do not overreach. Keep firm footing and

balance.

S Keep blade below waist level. It will be eas-

ier to maintain control of unit.

S Do not raise the engine above your waist as

the blade can come dangerously close to

your body.

S Do not swing the unit with such force that

you are in danger of losing your balance.

WARNING:

Always stop unit and dis-

connect spark plug wire before performing

maintenance.

placement of damaged or worn parts.

INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT

AND DECALS

S After each use, inspect complete unit for

loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and

decals using a damp cloth with a mild deter-

gent.

S Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

Bring the powerhead engine to cutting speed

before entering the material to be cut.

If the blade does not turn when you squeeze the

throttle trigger of the powerhead, make sure the

attachment is fully inserted into the coupler.

Always release the throttle trigger and allow

powerhead engine to return to idle speed

when not cutting. The blade should not turn

while the engine is running at idle.

If the blade turns at idle, do not use your unit

(refer to powerhead instruction manual for en-

gine/carburetor adjustments or contact your

authorized service dealer).

S Maintain good firm footing while using the

unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a com-

fortable apart position.

S Cut while swinging the upper part of your

body from left to right.

S As you move forward to the next area to cut,

be sure to maintain your balance, and footing.

RECOMMENDED CUTTING POSITION

Cut using the 2

o'clock to 4 o'clock

position of the

blade

WARNING:

must not try to clear away cut material with the

engine running or the blade turning to avoid seri-

ous injury. Stop engine and blade before remov-

ing materials wrapped around blade or shaft.
