TWIN LINE SPOOL
Use this for light trimming.
3 TOOTH BLADE
Use this blade for dense growth.
ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH
Your brush cutter is equipped with a semi-auto type nylon
trimmer head that allows the operator to advance 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
(25.4mm). For better effect, tap the head on bare ground or
hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick, tall grass as the engine may
stall by overload.
OPERATION
OPERATION
TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS
1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted
about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.
2. Sweep from left to right to avoid thrown debris.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.
4. Never swing the unit hard as you are in danger of losing
your balance or control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with your hip rather than
placing the full workload on your arms and hands.
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry, long-
stem weeds from wrapping around the shaft head.
Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to
slip, resulting in damage to the clutch system if repeated
frequently.
CUTTING METHOD
1. Use the front left side for optimal cutting.
2. Guide the blade from your right to left with it tilted slightly
to your left.
3. When mowing a wide area, start working from your left
end to avoid interference of cut grass.
4. The blade may be seized by weeds if the engine speed is
too low, or the blade cuts too deep into weeds. Adjust the
engine speed and cutting depth according to the type of
material being cut.
If grass or other object get caught in the blade, or if the
unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the engine and
check the whole unit. Change the blade if it has been
damaged.
Turn off the engine and make sure the blade has
completely stopped before checking the blade and
removing any object that has got caught in.
• Always wear eye protection during operation.
• Never lean over rotating cutting head.
• Never swing the unit hard as you are in danger of losing your balance or control of the unit.
