OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•After the return swing, move forward to the next area to be cut plant your feet again.
•The cutting blade is designed with a second cutting edge. You can use it by removing the blade, turning it upside down, and reinstalling it.
WARNING: Do not sharpen the cutting blade.
Sharpening the blade can cause the blade tip to break off while in use. This can result in severe personal injury to yourself or others. Replace the blade.
To reduce the chance of material wrapping around the blade, follow these steps:
•Cut at full throttle
•Swing the unit into material to be cut from your left to your right (Fig. 13)
•Avoid the material just cut as you make the return swing
WARNING: Do not clear away any cut material with
the engine running or blade turning. To avoid serious personal injury, turn off the engine. Allow the blade to stop before removing materials wrapped around the blade shaft.
