OPERATION
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.
WARNING: Hold the brush cutter firmly with both
hands (Fig. 30-31). Always keep your body to the left
of tube. Never use a cross-handed grip. Left-handers
should follow these instructions too.
Keep a proper cutting stance (Fig. 32).
2. Maintain a proper grip (Fig. 31) on the brush cutter whenever
the engine is running. The fingers should encircle the
handlebar and the thumb is wrapped under the handlebar.
Fitting the harness
Correct adjustment of the harness permits the brush cutter to be
properly balanced and at an appropriate height from the ground
(Fig. 33).
- Put on the single harness.
- Hook the brush cutter to the harness using the hook (A, Fig. 34).
- Position the hook (B, Fig. 34) to obtain the best brush cutter
balance.
- Position the buckle (C, Fig. 35) to obtain the correct brush
cutter height.

Correct balance (Fig. 34)
1 Forestry clearing
The machine is balanced by moving the support ring on the
machine forwards or backwards. On some models the support
ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number of holes for the
support hook. The machine is correctly balanced when it freely
hangs horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk of
hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the handlebar.
2 Grass clearing
34
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e. close to
the ground.

Work Area Precautions
WARNING: Cut only grass or weed. Do not cut
metal, plastics, masonry, or non-wood building
materials.
• Never allow children to operate your brush cutter. Only allow
others to use this brush cutter who have read this Operator's
Manual or received adequate instructions for the safe and
proper use of this brush cutter.
