WARNING! You MUST STOP using the machine if any of the following
occur.
- The engine speed changes with no control.
- When blades are damaged.
- In case of misfire.
- In case of high vibration.
- In rain or stormy weather.
CAUTION! When you use this machine, always wear the provided harness.
Make sure that the machine is securely hooked onto the strap. If you do not,
you will not be able to control the machine safely which may resultin injury
to yourself or others. NEVER use the harness with any type of defect,
especially with a defective quick release mechanism.
▪ Always trim or cut with the engine running at high speed.
▪ Do not run the machine slowly except for when warming up before use or cooling down
after use.
▪ Swing the cutting head of the cutter horizontally from left to right.
▪ Keep the cutting deck parallel with the ground. DO NOT tilt the cutting blade head during
operation.
▪ Keep the cutting blade at the same level for even depth of cut.
▪ The metal blade is to be used for brush only.
▪ To prevent overheating NEVER over cut, instead cut off smaller lengths of brush.
▪ If brush becomes tangled in the blade, you MUST stop the engine and remove the spark
plug HT lead cap BEFORE attempting to remove the blockage.
▪ NEVER raise the cutting blade above knee height during operation.
▪ DO NOT use the machine on a slope or uneven ground or if there is the chance of slipping
or losing stability.
▪ NEVER over cut, instead cut short lengths then cut successively lower heights.
▪ Trim around trees carefully, this will prevent damage to the tree and tree bark.
▪ Move around the tree in a clockwise direction. Approach grass/weeds with the tip of the
cutting blade.
▪ Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating blade.
▪ Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling or the rotating blade which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
▪ Kickback is a result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions.
▪ Maintain a firm grip on the machine and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces.
▪ ALWAYS use both hands on the handle bar for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start up.
▪ The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
▪ NEVER place your hand near the rotating blade. The blade may kickback over your hand.
▪ DO NOT position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the blades movement at the point
of snagging.
▪ Use special care when working in corners.
▪ Avoid bouncing and snagging the cutting head.
