OPERATION
WARNING:
Follow the warnings and precau-
tions in the section for safety warnings and the
instruction manual of the power unit.
WARNING:
If the cutting tool moves at
idle, adjust the idle speed of the engine down.
Otherwise you cannot stop the cutting tool by throttle
off and it may cause serious injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to let the running
blades contact with the ground or a hard object.
Doing so causes the tool kicked back and result in
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Before operation, check the
bolts, nuts and screws for any looseness. Tighten
them if they are loose.
CAUTION:
If the cut grass has got tangled
up in the cutting blades and rotation speed has
become slower or stopped, switch off the motor
and remove the spark plug cap or battery car-
tridge and then remove the tangled grass.
CAUTION:
This attachment is designed for
cutting lawn and weeds. Do not use the attach-
ment for other purpose.
NOTICE:
Before operation, always check if
there is no foreign object such as cut grass
adhered to the cutting tool.
Running the tool with a
foreign object adhered to the cutting tool may cause
malfunction.
NOTICE:
Foreign objects may enter between
the upper and lower blades. Running the tool with
the foreign objects remaining between the blades
may cause malfunction. For how to remove them,
follow the instructions in the section for removing
jammed weeds.
Hold the machine so that the cutter blade become
parallel to the ground. Start the machine while the cutter
blade has no contact with the ground and hard objects.
Adjust the machine to the suitable rotation speed for the
grass being cut. Low rotation speed may tangle the cut
grass up in the cutting blades.
To cut grass, proceed forward while swinging the
machine evenly in half-circle from right to left, like using
a scythe. Adjust the swing speed according to the grass
to be cut.
