RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING △
!DANGER
All models trimmers and brush cutters can throw small stone, metal or small objects as well as
the material being cut. Read these “Rules for Safe Operation” with care.
Follow the instructions in your operator’s manual.
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 off the engine. Know how to unhook
a harnessed unit quickly.
Never allow anyone unit without proper instruction. Be sure the operator wears the foot,
leg, eye, face and hearing or thrown objects. Keep the area clear of bystanders, children
and pets. Never allow children to operate or play with the unit.
Do not allow anyone to enter the operating 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 protection from
thrown objects. If the unit must be used where there are unprotected people, operate at a
low throttle speed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
Move the stop switch to “o” position when the engine idles, insure it reliable before
cutting. Only may continue to operate the unit when stop switch is in good condition.
Routines for checking that the cutting attachment stops turning when the engine idles.
WARNING △
!DANGER
In addition to head, eye, face and ear protectors shoes to protect your feet improve
your footing on slippery surfaces. Do not wear ties, jewelry, or loose, dangling clothing
which could be caught in the unit.
Do not wear open-toed footwear, or go bare-foot or bare legged. In certain situations
you must wear total face and head protection.
△
!DANGER ZONE
NO PERSON EXCEPT OPERATOR ALLOWED 15 METERS RADIUS DANGER ZONE. EYE,
EAR, FACE, FOOT, LEG AND BODY PROTECTION MUST BE WORN BY OPERATOR.
PERSONS IN ZONE OR RISK BEYOND DANGER ZONE SHOULD WEAR EYE PROTECTION
AGAINST THROWN OBJECTS. RISK DIMINISHES WITH DISTANCE FROM DANGER ZONE.

CUTTING WITHANYLON HEAD
For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the line
head
so that contact is made on the part of the line
circle where the line is moving A W A Y from
you and the debris shield. (See appropriate) This
results in the debris being thrown A W AY from
you.
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. If cutting up to a barrier such as fence,
wall or tree, approach from an angle where any debris
WARNIN △
!DANCER
The proper debris shield must be in place on the
unit when nylon cutting line is used, The cutting
line can flap around if too much line is exposed.
Always use the plastic debris shield with cut-off
knife when using nylon cutting heads.
WARNING △
!DANGER
Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris
TOWARDS you. If the line head is held flat to the
ground so that cutting occurs on the whole line circle,
debris will be THROWN at you, drag will slow the
engine down, and you will use up a lot of line.
WARNING △
!DANGER
Use only quality nylon monofilament line of the
diameter 2.5mm, Never use wire or wire-reinforced
line in place of nylon trimmer line. Load your nylon
line cutting head only with nylon trimmer line of the
proper diameter.
WARNING △
!DANGER
Use extreme caution when operating over bare spots
and gravel, because the line can throw small rock
particles at high speeds. Debris shields on the unit
cannot stop objects which bounce or ricochet off hard
surfaces.
11
ricocheting off the barrier will fly away from you, Move
the line head slowly until 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 off around the wire. Trimming can be
done to cut through weed stems one at a time. Place the
trimmer line head near the bottom of the weed-never
high up which could cause the weed to chatter 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.
WARNING△
!DANGER
Do not to use a steel blade for edging or scalping.
SCALPING AND ENGING:
Both of these are done with the line head tilted 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 position
where the debris, and any dislodging dirt and stones,
will not come back towards you even if it ricochets off
the hard surface. Although the picture shows how to
edge and scalp every operator must find for himself the
angles which suits his body size and cutting situation.
WARNING △
!DANGER
Do not trim in any area where there are strands of
fencing wire. Wear protective safety protecting , Do not
cut where you cannot see what the cutting device is
cutting.

exceed a diameter of 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
WARNING △
!DANGER
Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged
meal blade.
Before cutting growth, inspect for
obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes
or strands of wire from broken fences. If
an obstruction can not be removed, mark
its location so that you can avoid it with
the blade. Rocks and metal will dull or
damage a blade. Wire can catch on the
blade head and flap around or be thrown
into the air.
WARNING △
!DANGER
DO NOT USE A BRUSH CUTTER
FOR CUTTING TREES.
WARNING △
!DANGER
Use the shoulder harness at all times
adjust both harness and harness clamp
on the unit so that the unit hangs a few
inches above ground level .The cutting
head and the debris shield should
be level in all directions. Harness the
unit on the right side of your body.
13
Scything can be done in both directions, or just in one
way which results in the debris being thrown away
from you.
That is using the side of the blade that it is rotating
away from you. Tilt down the blade slightly on this
same side. You will be hit by some debris if you
scythe in both directions.
Cut only with the side of the blade that the debris is
moving away from you.
If kickback occurs, the blade may be dull, or the
material so thick and hard that you should use other
tool instead of this machine.
Do not force the blade to cut. Do not change the
angle of cut after into the wood. Avoid using any
pressure or leverage which could cause the blade to
bind or crack .
