Choosing the Correct Blade

WARNING

The type of Blade used MUST be matched to the type and size of material cut. An improper or dull blade can cause serious personal injury. Blades MUST be sharp. Dull blades increase the chance of kick out and injury to yourself and bystanders.

Plastic/Nylon Blades may be used where ever the nylon line head is used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy weeds or brush!

8 Tooth Weed/Grass Blade is designed for grass, garden debris and thick weeds. DO NOT use this blade for brush or heavy woody growth, 19 mm (3/4 in.) diameter or larger.

80 Tooth Brush Blade is designed for cutting brush and woody growth up to 13 mm (1/2 in.) diameter.

22 Tooth Clearing Blade is designed for dense thickets and saplings up to 64 mm (2-1/2 in.) diameter.

Use Shoulder/Waist Harness Use of the Shoulder/Waist Harness is recommended for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use, not just Blade oper- ation. The Shoulder/Waist Harness when used in a trimming operation with nylon line head suspends the trimmer from the operator's shoulder and reduces operator fatigue.

During blade operation, the same fatigue reduction is achieved. Safety to the operator is also enhanced by reducing the possibility of blade contact with the operator's hands and feet by restricting trimmer move- ment.
