RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING
Ƹ
!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
Ƹ
!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.
Ƹ
! DANGER ZONE
NO PERSON EXCEPT OPERATORALLOWED 15 METERS RADIUS DANGER ZONE. EYE,
EAR, FACE, FOOT, LEGAND BODY PROTECTION MUST BE WORN BYOPERATOR.
PERSONS IN ZONE OR RISK BEYOND DANGER ZONE SHOULDWEAR 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 AW A Y from
you and the debris shield. (See appropriate)
This results in the debris being thrown A W
AY from you.
WARNIN
Ƹ
!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
Ƹ
!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
Ƹ
!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
Ƹ
!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.

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 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
Ƹ
!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.
Edgingistrimmingthegrassbackwhereithasspread
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
Ƹ
!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.

Do not use a brush blade to cut trees which
exceed a diameter of 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
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 .
