Preparation for Cutting

WARNING: To use the blades
with the brush cutters must be
purchased the kit p.n. 61370224.
WARNING:
blades, avoid cutting close to
fences, sides of buildings, tree
trunks, stones or other such
objects that could cause the
brush cutter to kick out or could
cause damage to the blade. We
recommends use of the nylon line
heads for such jobs. In addition,
be alert to an increased possibility
of ricochets in such situations.
WARNING: The brush cutter is
normally to be used at ground
level with the cutting attachment
parallel to the ground. Use of a
brush cutter above ground level
or with the cutting attachment
perpendicular to the ground may
increase the risk of injury, since
the cutting attachment is more
fully exposed and the brush cutter
may be more difficult to control.
Never use your brush cutter as a
hedge trimmer.
WARNING: If the blade loosens
after being properly tightened,
stop work
retaining nut may be worn or
damaged and should be replaced.
Never use unauthorized parts
to secure the blade. If the blade
continues to loosen, see your
dealer. Never use a brush cutter
with a loose blade.
Basic Cutting Procedure

and protection.

OPERATION

immediately. The
WARNING: Hold the brush cutter
firmly with both hands (Fig. 2).
Always keep your body to the left
of tube. Never use a cross-handed
grip. Left-handers should follow
these instructions too.
Keep a proper cutting stance.
2. Maintain a proper grip (Fig. 2) on the brush
cutter whenever the engine is running. The
fingers should encircle the handlebar and
the thumb is wrapped under the handlebar.
Correct balance
1 Forestry clearing
The machine is balanced by moving the
support ring on the machine forwards
or backwards. The machine is correctly
balanced when it freely hangs horizontally
from the support hook. In this way the risk
of hitting stones is reduced if you need to
release the handlebar.
2 Grass clearing
Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting
height, i.e. close to the ground.
Work Area Precautions
WARNING: Cut only grass or
weed. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, or non-wood building
materials.
