• Keep the machine away from re or sparks.
• It is believed that a condion called Raynaud’s phenomenon, which aects the ingers of certain individuals may be brought about by exposure
to vibraon and cold. Exposure to vibraon and cold may cause ngling and burning sensaons followed by loss of color and numbness in the n-
gers. The following precauons are strongly recommended because the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown.
• Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
• Maintain good blood circulaon by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not smoking.
• Limit the hours of operaon. Try to ll each day with jobs where operang the brush cuer or other hand-held power equipment is not required.
• If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the ngers followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before further
exposing yourself to cold and vibraon.
• Always wear ear protecon, as being exposed to loud noise for long me can result in diminished hearing or even loss of hearing. Total face and
head protecon must be worn to prevent bodily injury from either slipping or falling into shrubbery, branches , or bushes.
• Wear no-slip heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on the brush cuer handle. Gloves also reduce the transmission of machine vibraon
to your hands.

DESCRIPTION

CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
TRIMMING:
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to cut. Tilt the head slowly to
direct debris away from you. It’ cung up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree .approach from
an angle where anydebris ricocheng o the barrier will y away from you. Move the line head
slowly unl the grass is cut right up the barrier, but do not jam(overfeed )the line into the barrier.
If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence be careful to feed only up to wire. If you
go to far the line will snap o around the wire. Trimming can be done to cut through weed
stems one at a me. Place the trimmer line head near the boom of the weed-never high up which
could cause the weed to chaer and catch the line. Rather than cut the weed right through, just use
the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
SCALPING AND EDGING:
Both of these are done with the line head lted at a steep angle scalping is removing
top growth leaving the earth bear. Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a
sidewalk or drive way. During both edging and scalping, hold the unit a steep angle and in a posi-
on where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones, will not come back towards you even if it
ricochets o the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to edge and scalp every
oprator must nd for himself the angles which suits his body size and cung situaon.

USING THE SHOULDER HARNESS
1.Assemble and adjust the shoulder harness and belt, as shown.
2.Adjust the shoulder-harness buon, and move the hook to your waist, then adjust the belt(If there is a belt).
3.Hang the latch tab on the harness hook.
4.If the brush cuer does’t balance, then adjust the harness hanger, and the handlebar, unl it balances.
5.To quickly detach the brush cuer from the
harness,pull the quick-release latch tab upward;
6.Insert the latch tongue in the slot of the
quick-release latch to reaach the brush cuer
to the harness.

Read the operator’s manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of the unit. Know how to stop the unit
and shut o the engine.Know how to unhook a harnessed unit quickly. Never allow anyone to use the unit without proper instrucon.Be sure
the operator wears the foot, leg, eye, face and hearing protecon. Do not rely on the debris shield on the unit to protect your eyes from rico-
cheng or thrown objects. Keep the area clear of bystanders, children and pets. Never allow children to operate for play with the unit. Do not
allow anyone to enter the operang DANGER ZONE with you. The danger zone is an area 15 meters in radius (about 16 paces) or 50 feet. Insist
that persons in the RISK ZONE beyond the danger zone wear eye protecon from thrown objects. If the unit must be used where there are
unprotected people, operate at a low throle speed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. Move the stop switch to “stop” posion when the
engine idles, hereby ensuring it is reliable before cung. Only may connue to operate the unit when stop switch is in good condion. Rounes
for checking that the cung aachment stops turning when the engine idles. Hold the brushcuer with the right hand on the trigger handle
and the le hand on the le handle. Keep a rm grip with both hands while in operaon. Brush cuer should be held at a comfortable posion
with the trigger handle about hip height.Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Posion yourself so that you will not be drawn o balance
by the kick-back reacon of the cung blade. Use the shoulder harness at all mes.Adjust both harness and harness clamp on the unit so that
the unit hangs a few inches above ground level. The cung head and the plasc debris shield should be level in all direcons. Harness the unit
on the right side of your body.
