CUTTING TIPS

Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the tool

away from your body.
Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut;

this is the best cutting area.
The line trimmer cuts when passing the unit from

right to left. This will avoid throwing debris at the

operator. Avoid cutting in the dangerous area

shown in Fig.19.
Cut all grass from top to down. This will prevent

grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and

string head which could cause damage from

overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the

string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the

spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
Use the tip of line to trim grass; do not force string

head into uncut grass.
Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even

breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood

may wear line rapidly.
Avoid trees, flowers, stones, walls and other

objects which can cause the line breakage.
Check and feed the line regularly to maintain full

cutting width and performance.

OPERATING THE BRUSH CUTTER (FIG.20)

WARNING.

Always position the machine

on the operator's right side. The use of

the machine on the operator's left side

will expose the operator to hot surfaces

and can result in possible burn injury.

To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate

unit with the bottom of the engine above waist

level.
Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the

trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle.

Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.

Brush cutter should be held at a comfortable

position with the trigger handle about hip height.

Maintain your grip and balance on both feet.

Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off

balance by the kick-back reaction of the cutting

blade.
Adjust the shoulder strap to position the

brush cutter at a comfortable operating position

and to assure that the shoulder strap will reduce

the risk of operator contact with the blade.
