Observe safety precautions, handle unit carefully, and wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and sturdy footwear.
Inspect for loose parts and damage. Do not use unapproved attachments. Keep handles free from oil and fuel.
Follow fuel mixing, storage, and refueling safety. Operate unit carefully, keeping guards in place.
Keep children away, maintain safe distance, do not operate when tired or impaired. Ensure cutting head is undamaged.
Use approved accessories, clean the machine, and refuel only when the engine is cool and off.
Maintain distance from bystanders, approach operators carefully, and turn off the engine when moving the unit.
Avoid rough operation, monitor for overheating, never touch hot parts, and be cautious in wet conditions.
Release throttle immediately if slipping. Handle carefully to avoid dropping or hitting obstacles. Perform adjustments after stopping the engine.
Protect against vibration/cold (Raynaud's), limit operation time, wear ear protection, face/head protection, and gloves.
Warning that the cutter area remains dangerous while the machine is coasting to a stop.
Read the manual carefully to understand controls and safe usage. Special precautions are needed for this power tool.
Always wear safety gear. Be aware of warnings and dangers, foot injury, and thrown objects.
Keep 15 meters away from others. Never modify the trimmer. Ensure the cutting tool stops before adjustments.
Manual specifications are accurate at publication but subject to change. Illustrations may include optional equipment.
Detailed technical specifications for the main unit (cutter head speed, vibration) and engine (displacement, output, fuel type).
Guidelines for using metal blades, nylon cutters, debris shields, and cut-off knives safely.
Information on safe operation of the handle, ignition switch, throttle, purge bulb, and starter.
Step-by-step guide for assembling the lower shaft, handle, and plastic debris shield.
Instructions for fitting and securing the nylon line cutter head to the gearbox housing.
Procedure for fitting the metal shield to the gearbox and securing the metal blade.
Cautionary notes on using the metal shield only with steel blades and immediate action for excessive vibration.
Understand operations, identify danger zones (15m radius), and operate at low throttle near people.
Ensure operator wears full PPE. Keep bystanders, children, and pets clear of the operating area.
Use debris shield, tilt head to direct debris away, and avoid flat ground cutting which throws debris.
Use 2.5mm nylon line only. Exercise caution on bare spots/gravel as shields cannot stop ricocheting objects.
Learn trimming, edging, and scalping methods, including how to approach barriers and avoid debris impact.
Approach barriers at an angle. Do not use steel blades for edging/scalping. Avoid cutting near fencing wire.
Use metal blades for brush/weeds up to 3/4". Do not use saw blades or cut trees with brush cutters.
Adjust harness for level cutting. Inspect blades and check for obstructions before cutting.
Use scything for grass/weeds. Do not use for large, tough weeds or woody growths. Avoid cutting trees over 3/4" diameter.
Do not force the blade. Avoid using pressure or leverage that could cause binding or cracking.
Never overfill, refuel in ventilated areas, away from flames. Use unleaded gasoline with no ethanol/methanol.
Use 40:1 mixture ratio. Store fuel properly, shake before use, and use within a month for best quality.
Mix fuel correctly to avoid engine damage. Do not mix directly in the fuel tank. Refuel safely.
Verify loose parts, clean air filter, check protector security, ensure no leaks, and verify blade is not idling.
