INSTRUCTIONS

i

When using the blade, bring the engine to fi_ throttle before entering the material to be cut. The blade has maximum cutting power at full throttle and is less l_ely to bind, stall, or cause blade thrust, which can result in serious ir_jury to the operator or others. Refer to "Guard Ag_i_t Blade Thrust".

When using the trimmer_ead, do not run the en-

gine at a higher speed than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine is run at less than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise end vibration. The cutting line will last longer and will be less likely to "weld" onto the spool.

If the blade or trimmer head does not turn

when the engine is accelerated, make sure the tube is properly seated in the engine shroud.

Always release throttle trigger and allow en- gine to return to idle speed when not cutting.

The blade or trimmer head should not turn

when the engine runs at idle speed. Ifthe blade or trimmer head on your unit turns when the engine is at idle speed, refer to "Trouble Shooting Chart."

To stop engine:

Release the throttle trigger.

Move ignition switch to the "Off" position.

*Stop thebladeby allowingthe"9o'clock"posi- tionto contactcutmaterial.
