CUTTING WORK (LINE HEAD USAGE)
WARNING
1. Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles. Never lean over
the rotating cutting head. Rocks or other debris could be thrown into
eyes and face and cause serlous personal lnjury.
2. Keep the cutting attachment guard in place at all times when the unit
is operated.
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting. You will achieve
better results by not crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to
trim at its own pace.
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted about 20 degrees
toward the sweep direction.
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your left to the right.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth. The rate of cutting
motion will depend on the material being cut. Heavy growth will require
slower action than will light growth.
4. Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of losing your balance
or control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather than placing the full
workload on the arm and hands.
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry, long-stem weeds
from wrapping around the head shaft. Such materials can stall the head and
cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the clutch system if repeated
frequently.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
Our brush cutters are equipped with a semi- auto type nylon line head that
allows the operator to advanee the line without stopping the engine. When
the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on the ground while running the
engine at full throttle.
Each time the head is bumped, the line advances about 1 inch (254 mm) For
better effect, tap the head on bear ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in
thick, tall grass as the engine may stall by overload.
