shown and check for the following:

• Wear eye protection and heavy

clothing.

• Keep arms extended with right hand

holding the trigger handle of power-

head.

• Keep left arm extended with left hand

holding the handlebar.

• Keep unit below waist level.

• Shoulder strap pad should be cen-

tered on your left shoulder and dan-

ger sign centered on your back.

• Maintain full weight of tool on left

shoulder.

• Without bending over, keep the blade

near and parallel to the ground and

not crowded into material being cut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USE OF BRUSHCUTTER ATTACH*

MENT WITH TRIMMER HEAD

_l_ WARNING: Always wear eye

protection. Never lean over the trim-

mer head. Rocks or debris can rico-

chet or be thrown into eyes and face

and cause blindness or other serious

injury.

Before trimming, bring engine to a

speed sufficient to cut material to be

trimmed.

De net run the engine at a higher speed

than necessary. The cutting line will cut

efficiently when the engine _srun at less

than full throttle. At lower speeds, there

is less engine noise and vibration. Al-

ways release the throttle trigger and

allow the engine to return to idle speed

when not cutting.

CUTTING METHODS

_I_WARNING: Use minimum speed

and do not crowd the line when cutting

around hard objects (rock, gravel,

fence posts, etc.), which can damage

the trimmer head, become entangled

in the line, or be thrown causing a seri-

ous hazard.

• The tip of the line does the cutting.

You will achieve the best perform-

ance and minimum line wear by not

crowding the line into the cutting

area. The right and wrong ways are

shown below.

Tip of line does the

Right

Line crowded into

i Wrong

*The line will easily remove grass and

weeds from around walls, fences,

trees and flower beds, but it also can

cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs

and scar fences.

* For trimming or scalping, use less

than full throttle to increase line life

and decrease head wear, especially:

• During light duty cutting.

• Near objects around which the line

can wrap such as small posts,

trees or fence wire.

* For mowing or sweeping, use full

throttle for a good clean job.

TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the

trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)

above the ground and at an angle. Allow

only the tip of the line to make contact.

Do not force trimmer line into work

area.

Trimming

SCALPING - The scalping technique

removes unwanted vegetation down to

the ground. Hold the bottom of the

trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)

above the ground and at an angle. Al-

low the tip of the line to strike the

ground around trees, posts, monu-

ments, etc. This technique increases

line wear.

Scalping

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for

mowing in places conventional lawn

mowers cannot reach. In the mowing

position, keep the line parallel to the

ground. Avoid pressing the head into

the ground as this can scalp the

ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING - The fanning action of

the rotating line can be used to blow

away loose debris from an area. Keep

the line parallel to and above the area

surface and swing the tool from side to

side.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USE OF BRUSHCUTTER ATTACH*

MENT WITH WEED BLADE

* Blade Thrust is a reaction that only

occurs when using a bladed unit. This

reaction can cause serious injury such

as amputation. Carefully study this

section. It is important that you under-

stand what causes blade thrust, how

you can reduce the chance of its oc-

curring, and how you can remain in

control of unit if blade thrust occurs.

* WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -

Blade Thrust can occur when spin-

ning blade contacts an object that it

does not cut. This contact causes

blade to stop for an instant and then

suddenly move or "thrust" away from

object that was hit. The "thrusting" re-

action can be violent enough to cause

operator to be propelled in any direc-

tion and lose control of unit. The un-

controlled unit can cause serious injury

if blade contacts operator or others.

* WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS

- Blade Thrust can 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. By using the unit

properly, the occurrence of blade

thrust will be reduced and the opera-

tor will be less likely to lose control.

A properly adjusted shoulder strap

will support the weight of the unit,

freeing your arms and hands to con-

trol and guide the cutting motion.
