The Barrier Bar is used to restrict rearward movement of the unit. The Barrier Bar is NOT A HANDLE and should not be gripped when using or carrying the unit.

Plastic/Nylon Grass/Weed 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 13mm (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.
