Above images illustrate how to use quick release mechanism
engine. Support the machine with your left hand and operate
the quick-release mechanism. Be aware that the machine will
fall and a rotating blade or nylon trimmer can cause death or
severe injury.
WARNING!
Be careful not to accidentally operate the quick release
on the harness. Be aware that the machine will fall and
that a rotating blade or nylon trimmer can cause death
or severe injury.
CUTTING USING THE METAL BLADE
(1) For shrubs & thick weeds
(2) For grass and weeds
(3) Direction of cutting
(4) Direction of rotation
1. A metal blade cuts best with a swathe up to one third of the
cutter diameter. Use that area for cutting shrubs, tough and
thick weeds. For cutting young grass, you can use up to two
thirds of the cutter diameter.
2. Adjust the engine speed according to the material being cut.
Cut the young grass at middle speed, and shrubs or tough and
thick weeds at high speed.
If the cutting speed is too low, debris can be caught up
in the blade, and if this causes the clutch to slip it will
wear out quickly.
CUTTING WITH THE NYLON CUTTER
• Cutting with the nylon cord consumes more power so
the engine speed should be 50% greater than when
using the metal blade.
• The nylon cord cuts the grass by meeting it at high speed. If
you take too wide a swathe you may slow down the engine
and not get clean cutting. To correct this, retract the cutter from
the grass until the engine regains full speed and then cut using
a narrower swathe.
• After a time the nylon cord will wear away. To restore the
full cutting diameter, simply bump the cutter head on the
ground while it is running at full speed. The cords will extend
automatically and will be trimmed to the correct length by the
cord trimmer blade mounted on the guard.
• Cut grass by swinging the brushcutter from left to
right. While you can cut in either direction, if you follow these
suggestions the cut grass will be thrown away from you, and
you will avoid getting your clothes dirty.
CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD

WARNING!
The proper debris shield must be in place on the unit when
nylon cutting line is used. The cutting line can flap around if
too much line is exposed. Always use the plastic debri shield
with cut-off knife when using nylon cutting heads.
For nearly all cutting, it is good to tilt the line head so that contact
is made on the part of the line circle where the line is moving away
from you and the debris shield. (See appropraite picture) This results
in the debris being thrown away from you.
WARNING!
Tilting the head to the wrong side will shoot the debris
TOW ARDS you.If the line head is held flat to the ground so
that cutting occurs on the whole line circle, debris will be
THROWN at you, drag will slow the engine down, and you will
use up a lot of line.
WARNING!
Use only quality nylon monofilament line of the diameter
2.5mm. Never use wire or wire-reinforced line in place of nylon
trimmer line. Load your nylon line cutting head only with nylon
trimmer line of the proper diam eter.
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when operating over bare spots and
gravel,because the line can throw small rock particles at high
speeds. Debris shields on the unit cannot stop objects which
bounce or ricochet off hard surfaces.
