Operation
Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume
(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85
are not.
Operating the Power Head
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
Engine housing may become hot during opera-
tion. Do not rest or place your arm, hand, or
any body part against the engine housing dur-
ing operation. Only hold the unit as shown in
Figure 5 during trimmer operation with all body
parts clear of engine housing (or as shown in
the applicable attachment Operator's Manual).
Extended contact with the engine housing can
result in burns or other injuries.
WARNING:
Always position the unit on the operator's right
side. The use of the unit on the operator's left side
will expose the user to hot surfaces and can result
in possible burn injury.
WARNING:
To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate
unit with the bottom of the engine above waist
level.
Hold the power head with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with
both hands while in operation. Power head should be held at
a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate power head at full throttle. If debris
becomes wrapped around the attachment, STOP THE
ENGINE, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the
debris. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in
lubricant dripping from the muffler.
WARNING:
Always hold the power head and attachment
away from the body keeping clearance between
the body and the product. Any contact with
the power head or attachment cutting head can
result in burns and/or other serious personal
injury.
Operation
WARNING:
Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure safe operation. Read the safety infor-
mation for safe operation when using a blade
and refer to the safety rules and instructions in
your attachment manual.
BLADE THRUST
Exercise extreme caution when using a blade attachment
with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur
when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut.
This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant,
and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to 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
material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the
weeds being cut with the brushcutter from the right to the
left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this practice could minimize the blade thrust
reaction.
