Trimming

3 inches (8 cm) above ground

SCALPING -- The scalping technique re- moves unwanted vegetation down to the ground. Hold the bottom of the trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm) above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique increases line wear.

Scalping

MOWING -- Your trimmer is ideal for mowing in places conventional lawn mowers cannot reach. In the mowing position, keep the line parallel to the ground. Avoid pressing the head into the ground as this can scalp the ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING -- The fanning action of the rotat- ing line can be used to blow away loose debris from an area. Keep the line parallel to and above the area surface and swing the tool from side to side.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRUSHCUTTER ATTACHMENT

SBlade Thrust is a reaction that only occurs when using a bladed unit. This reaction can cause serious injury such as amputation. Carefully study this section. It is important that you understand what causes blade thrust, how you can reduce the chance of its occur- ring, and how you can remain in control of unit if blade thrust occurs.

SWHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST --Blade Thrust can occur when spinning blade con- tacts an object that it does not cut. This contact causes blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move or “thrust” away from object that was hit. The “thrusting” reaction can be violent enough to cause operator to be pro- pelled in any direction and lose control of unit. The uncontrolled unit can cause serious injury if blade contacts operator or others.

S WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS - Blade Thrust can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is diffi- cult to see the material being cut. By using the unit properly, the occurrence of blade thrust will be reduced and the operator will be less likely to lose control.

SCut only grass, weeds, and woody brush up to 1/2 inch (1 cm) in diameter with weed blade. Do not let blade contact material it cannot cut such as stumps, rocks, fences, metal, etc., or clusters of hard, woody brush with a diameter greater than 1/2 inch (1 cm).

SUse a sharp blade. A dull blade is more likely to snag and thrust.

SCut only at full throttle. The blade will have maximum cutting power and is less likely to bind or stall.

S “Feed” the blade deliberately and not too rapidly. The blade can thrust away if it is fed too rapidly.

SCut only from your left to your right. Cutting on right side of the shield will throw debris away

from the operator.

SUse the shoulder strap and keep a firm grip on the unit with both hands. A properly ad- justed shoulder strap will support the weight of the unit, freeing your arms and hands to

control and guide the cutting motion.

S Keep feet comfortably spread apart and braced for a possible sudden, rapid thrust of unit. Do not overreach. Keep firm footing and balance.

SKeep blade below waist level. It will be eas- ier to maintain control of unit.

SDo not raise the engine above your waist as the blade can come dangerously close to

your body.

SDo not swing the unit with such force that you are in danger of losing your balance.
