Use Shoulder/Waist Harness
Use of the shoulder/waist harness is 
recommended for ALL Trimmer/
brushcutter use, not just blade 
operation. The shoulder/waist 
harness when used in a trimming 
operation with nylon line head 
suspends the trimmer from the 
operator's shoulder and reduces 
operator fatigue.
During blade operation, the same 
fatigue reduction is achieved. Safety 
to the operator is also enhanced by 
reducing the possibility of blade 
contact with the operator's hands and feet by restricting trimmer movement.
Make sure the warning sign on the back of the shoulder harness can be 
read easily. 
Note:  In case of Emergency, disconnect the trimmer from the 
harness.
Applications
Do Not install blades on GT (Curved Shaft) or T model trimmers.
Operating Techniques - Nylon Line Head:
Nylon line heads may be used for trimming, scything, edging, and scalping 
of grass and light weeds.
Trimming
Feed the spinning line into the material to be cut. Tilt the line head to one 
side to direct cutting debris away from you:
• Model SRM/PAS/SB/TX/C/T (Straight shaft, counter-clockwise line head 
rotation) - Tilt the cutting head down on the right side (muffler side) while 
cutting to direct cutting debris away from operator. Feed the line gradually 
into the material you wish to cut, avoiding contact with fences or other 
barriers.
• GT models: Tilt cutting head to the left while cutting to direct debris away 
from the operator.
