Cutting (Fig. 2-4, 4B, 4C, 4D)

•When cutting, operate engine at over 6500 rpm. Extended use at a slow speeds may wear the clutch prematurely.

•Cut grass from right to left.

•Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts a solid object in the critical area. A dangerous reaction may occur causing the entire unit and operator to be thrust violently. This reaction is called BLADE THRUST. As a result, the operator may lose control of the unit which may cause serious or fatal injury. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material to be cut.

•Wear the harness as shown in the figure (if so equipped). The blade turns counterclockwise, therefore, be advised to operate the unit from right to left for efficient cutting. Keep onlookers out of working area at least 15 m (50 ft.).

NOTE!

Press the quick release button or pull emergency release flap (If so equipped) in the event of emergency. (Fig. 2-4C)

Stopping (Fig. 2-5)

•Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for a few minutes, then turn off ignition switch.

WARNING!

If the cutting attachment should strike against stones or other debris, stop the engine and make sure the attachment and related parts are undamaged. When grass or vines wrap around attachment, stop engine and attachment and remove them.
