Before operating the unit with the cutting blade, stand in the
operating position (Fig. 22). Refer to Holding the Trimmer.
Cutting Blade Operating Tips
To establish a rhythmic cutting procedure:
• Plant feet firmly, comfortably apart.
• Bring the engine to full throttle before entering the
material to be cut. At full throttle the blade has maximum
cutting power and is less likely to bind, stall or cause
blade thrust (which can result in serious personal injury
to the operator or others).
WARNING:
blade contacts an object that it does not immedi-
ately cut. Blade thrust can be violent enough to
cause the unit and/or operator to be propelled in
any direction, and possibly lose control of the
unit. Blade thrust can occur without warning if the
blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more likely to
occur in areas where it is difficult to see the materi-
al being cut.
• Cut while swinging the upper part of your body from left
to right
• Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine
to return to idle speed when not cutting.
• When you are finished, always unsnap the unit from the
harness before taking off the harness.

• 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:
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. 23)
• Avoid the material just cut as you make the return swing
