your left hand to hold the handle of the handle tube.

rotating for a short while after the throttle control

was released.

that the cutting tool will no longer rotate, when the 

throttle control is pressed.

you will achieve the best cutting result.

If you hit a stone or tree during work, switch off the 

engine and inspect the petrol brush cutter for damages.
