OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF BRUSHCUTTER ATTACH* MENT WITH TRIMMER HEAD
_l_ WARNING: Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the trim- mer head. Rocks or debris can rico-
chet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
Before trimming, bring engine to a speed sufficient to cut material to be trimmed.
De net run the engine at a higher speed
than necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently when the engine _srun at less
than full throttle. At lower speeds, there is less engine noise and vibration. Al- ways release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to return to idle speed when not cutting.
CUTTING METHODS
_I_WARNING: Use minimum speed and do not crowd the line when cutting around hard objects (rock, gravel, fence posts, etc.), which can damage the trimmer head, become entangled in the line, or be thrown causing a seri- ous hazard.
•The tip of the line does the cutting. You will achieve the best perform- ance and minimum line wear by not crowding the line into the cutting area. The right and wrong ways are shown below.
