Two types of cutting blades can be used for cutting, grass
cutting blade and brush knife. Never use grass cutting
blades to cut brushwood.
Grass cutting blade:
▪ A grass cutting blade is used to cut all kinds of tall
weeds;
▪ The grass is cut by swinging the brush cutter from side
to side like a scythe (scything motion), where the motion
from right to left is the cutting stage and the motion from
left to right is the return stroke. Avoid previously cut
green waste during the return stroke;
▪ If the blade is leaned to the left when brushing, the grass
builds up in a line, which makes it easier to catch.
▪ Let the support cup touch the floor gently. It is used to
protect the blade from touching the floor.
Brush knife:
▪ A brush knife is used to cut/trim brushwood, shrubs or
wild vegetation with a maximum diameter of 12mm;
▪ When you cut the brushwood or shrubs, place the blade
very close to the soil (as if cutting with a scythe);
▪ Cut wild vegetation from top to bottom by layers, keeping
the blade at a level below the user's waist. However,
when bigger the distance between the blade and the
ground, bigger the risk of flying particles. For this reason,
the user shall have extra attention when performing this
way;
▪ Always operate the brush cutter with the trigger fully
pressed to avoid the accumulation of debris in the blade
tip;
▪ Avoid contact of the blade with hard objects (rocks,
stones, tree trunks). Otherwise, the brush cutter may be
thrown violently in the opposite direction to the rotation
of the blade. You risk what's called kickout or blade
thrust. Kickout can be violent enough to make you lose
the control of the brush cutter.
Kickout
may
occur
kickout/thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is
difficult to see the material to be cut.
Blade thrust may also occur if you try to cut down small
trees, shrubs or bushes with a diameter greater than that
recommended by the manufacturer.
Always place the plastic protective caps over the
blade's teeth when the blade is being used and
during transport.

warning.
The mowing head with nylon line is used for cutting grass,
weeds or lawn.
Make sure that the nylon line is still firm and evenly rolled-
up in the reel; otherwise, the brush cutter will produce
harmful vibrations.
Only use mowing heads and nylon lines that have the
characteristics and dimensions recommended by the
manufacturer.
Never use wires or ropes instead of nylon line.
Otherwise, accidents and injuries may occur.
The length of the nylon line is also important. A longer line
requires more engine power than a shorter line with the
same diameter.
Make sure that the nylon line cutting knife inside of the
guard is still intact and sharpened. The knife will cut the
nylon line to the correct length.
When the nylon line is worn out or cracks:
3. Touch the mowing head to the floor and press gently the
spring in the inside to allow the nylon line to slide out;
4. The length of the cutting nylon line is defined by the
maximum length allowed for the blade.
