OPERATION

■METAL BLADE USAGE

NOTE :

Do not use the Metal Cutting Blade for model BT2200LDC and BC2200E

•Always cut by guiding the head from your right to left.

•When mowing a wide area, start working from the left side to avoid interference of cut grass.

•A metal blade cuts best up to the point 1/3 from the edge. Use that area for cutting shrubs, tough and thick weeds. For cutting young grass, you can use up to 2/3 from the tip of blade.

Never cut with this side

Tough weeds

Young grass

Note :

Do not use the Metal Cutting Blade for cutting trees or thick branches. The blade is designed to cut grass, weeds or shrubs only.

WARING!!!

Working on a slope increases the danger of losing your balance. Do not use your unit on a slope until you have mastered its operation.

FOR SAFE OPERATION ON A SLOPE:

1.Always use anti-slip shoes.

2.Do not work in and/or right after the rain when the ground is wet and slippery.

3.Do not use your unit on a slope where firm footholds are not secured.

4.Do not cut material above your waist or below your ankle.

5.Be sure to stop the engine moving to the next row.

WARING!!!

The operator must keep his own path of advance clear due to the possibility of swinging around and seriously injuring a bystander or helper.

CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE

Blade bounce can cause serious personal injury. Carefully study this section. It is important that you understand what causes bounce, how you can reduce the chance of bounce and how you can remain in control of the unit if bounce does occur.

1. What causes blade bounce:

Bounce can occur when the moving blade contacts an object that it cannot cut.

This contact causes the blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move or “bounce” away from the object that was hit. The operator can lose control of the unit and the blade can cause serious personal injury to the operator or any person nearby if the blade contacts any part of the body.

2.How you can reduce the chance of blade bounce:

a.Recognize that bounce can happen. By understanding and knowing about bounce, you can help eliminate the element of surprise.

b.Cut fibrous weeds and grass only. Do not let the blade contact materials it cannot cut such as hard, woody vines and brush or rocks, fences, metal, etc.

c.Be extra prepared for bounce if you must cut where you cannot see the blade making contact such as in areas of dense growth.

d. Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade increases the chance of bounce.

e. Cut only at full throttle.

f. Avoid feeding the blade too rapidly. The blade can bounce away from material being cut if the blade is fed faster than its cutting capability.
