HEAVY WEED CUTTING

•Install the 8 tooth 20 cm (8 in) blade. (option)

•Observing all precautions as listed in this manual, start the engine and using full throttle, swing the blade in an arc as you move forward slowly. The cutter rotates counter-clockwise and the debris will be pushed backwards so the work area will always be visible.

BRUSHCUTTING

•Install the 80 tooth blade.

•Proceed exactly as for weed and grass cutting.

SMALL TREES

•The unit will effectively cut small trees up to 7.5 cm (3 in) diameter using the 80 tooth 25 cm (10 in) diameter new blade.

•Before attempting to cut, ensure that the falling tree will fall away from you, and if necessary, tie a rope to the tree and have an assistant pull it in a safe direction.

•Do not attempt to “plunge cut”, i.e. using the brushcutter like an axe. It is not necessary and may cause serious damage to the brushcutter.

•Brace your feet firmly on the ground and cut with the left hand side of the blade.

CAUTION

1.Always cut on full throttle.

2.Never try cutting with a blunt blade.
