Before operating the unit with the cutting blade, stand in the
operating position (Fig. 4). 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).
A
WARNING:
Blade thrust may occur when the spinning
blade contacts an object that it does not immediately
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 material being cut.
• Cut while swinging the upper part of your body from right
to left.
• 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.
• Watch out for hidden obstacles, such as rocks stumps, roots,
etc, that could cause the blade to kick back.
• Make sure the "J" Handle, Shield and Shoulder Strap are
installed per assembly instructions.
WARNING:
Do not sharpen the cutting blade.
Sharpening 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.
WARNING: Always wear gloves when working with 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 right to your
left (Fig. 5).
• Avoid the material just cut as you make the return swing.

WARNING:
Do not clear away any cut material with the
engine running or blade turning. To avoid serious
personal injury, turn off the engine. Allow the blade to
stop before removing materials wrapped around the
blade shaft.
