8. Operation

CUTTING METHOD

(a)Use the front left side cutting.

(b)Guide the blade from your right to left with it tilted slightly to your left.

(c)When mowing a wide area, start working from your left end to avoid interference of cut grass.

(d)The blade may be seized by weeds if the engine speed is too low, or the blade cuts too deep into weeds. Adjust the engine speed and cutting depth according to the condition of object.

WARNING

•If the grass or other object gets caught in the blade, or if the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the engine and check the whole unit. Change the blade if it has been damaged.

•Turn off the engine and make sure the blade has completely stop before checking the blade, and removing any object got caught in.

WARNING

CONTROLLING BLADE BOUNCE

•Blade thrust can cause serious personal injury. Care- fully study this section. It is important that you under- stand what causes blade thrust, how you can reduce the chance of blade thrust and how you can remain in control of the unit if blade thrust does occur.

1. What causes blade thrust:

•Blade thrust can occur when the moving blade con- tacts 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 thrust:

a.Recognize that blade thrust can happen. By under- standing 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 increase the chance of bounce.

e.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.

f.Cut only from your right to your left.

g.Keep your path of advance clear of material that has been cut and other debris.

3.How you can maintain the best control:

a.Keep a good, firm grip on the unit with both hands. A firm grip can help neutralize bounce. Keep your right and left hands completely around the respective handles.

b.Keep both feet spread apart in a comfortable stance and yet braced for the possibility that the unit could bounce. Do not overreach. Keep firm footing and balance.

CUTTING WORK (LINE HEAD USAGE)

WARNING

1.Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head. Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes and face and cause serious personal injury.

2.Keep the debris guard in place at all times when the unit is operated.

TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS

•Always remember that the TIP of the line does cut- ting. You will achieve better results by not crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its own pace.

1.Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.

2.You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your left to the right.

3.Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth. The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material being cut. Heavy growth will require slower action than will light growth.

4.Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of losing your balance or control of the unit.

5.Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather
