Trimming operation
Using shoulder harness
Buckle waist belt. Belt should be snug.
Attach product to harness.
Check for correct adjustment by moving cutting attachment along
ground.
Re-adjust position of suspension point if necessary.
Use correct blade
Always use the blade suited for the job.
Do not allow the trimmer blade to come into contact with hard
obstructions such as stone, concrete or metal.
Do not cut into the ground with the blade.
If the blade hits an obstruction, turn the engine off immediately
and ensure that the trimmer blade has stopped rotating before
checking the blade and shield for damage.
Do not operate with a dull, bent, fractured or discoloured blade
and worn or damaged nut.
Never use a cracked trimmer blade as it could shatter off while
you are working.
Do not run engine at full throttle without a load.
Remove all foreign objects from work area.
Do not operate brushcutter without shoulder harness and
shield.
Scything weeds
This is cutting by swinging the cutting attachment in a level arc. It
can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds. Scything should
not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
If a sapling or shrub binds the cutting attachment, do not use the
cutting attachment as a lever to free the bind, because this will
cause cutting attachment failure.
Instead, shut off the engine and push the sapling or shrub to free
the blades.
Do not use a cracked or damaged blade.
Place shoulder harness over both shoulders and
adjust straps so the connecting point latch as
shown.
Inspect blades before use
Wires can catch and flap around
