Adjust both harness and the suspension point on the unit so the unit hangs with the cutting attachment a few centimetres above ground level. The cutting attachment and shield should be level in all directions. Harness the unit on the right side as shown.
Do not start engine near fuelling spot FUEL PHYSICAL CONDITION It is highly flammable. You should be in good mental and physical health. Do not operate if you are under the influence of alcohol or any medication or substance which could affect your vision, dexterity or judgement. a) Use an appropriate type of fuel container. b) Do not smoke or bring flame or sparks near to fuel supplies. c) The fuel tank may be under pressure.
Start on ground with cutting attachment in the clear Do not run the engine indoors, or where there is poor ventilation. GENERAL OPERATION Engine fumes contain deadly poisonous carbon monoxide. Lay the unit down on a clear area and set the controls for starting. Be sure the cutting attachment cannot contact the ground or any obstruction. Do not operate with a worn or damaged cutting attachment. Hold the unit firmly down so you will not lose control during starting.
Sudden vibration? Shut down immediately! Keep feet and hands away until rotation stops. Shut down immediately if the unit starts to shake or vibrate. When the unit is turned off, make sure the cutting attachment stops before the unit is set down. A sudden vibration is a sign there may be dangerous trouble, such as a broken flywheel, clutch or cutting attachment, or loose parts. A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin after the engine is shut off or throttle control is released.
Painful or numb fingers? See your doctor immediatelty! VIBRATION AND COLD REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s Phenomenon which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning, followed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers.
Wires can catch and flap around • Always use the blade suited for the job. • Do not hit rocks, stones, tree stumps, and other foreign objects with the blade. • Do not cut into the ground with the blade. • If blade strikes an obstruction, stop engine immediately and inspect blade for damage. • Do not operate with a dull, bent, fractured or discoloured blade and worn or damaged nut. • Do not run engine at full throttle without a load. • Remove all foreign objects from work area.
Debris Knife side raised Angle to ground Angle to wall RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (WITH NYLON LINE CUTTING HEAD) The basic cutting actions pictured are: Trimming, scything, scalping and lawn edging. These actions are as follows: SCYTHING: This is the cutting or mowing of large grassy areas by sweeping or swinging the trimmer in a level arc. Use a smooth, easy motion. Do not try to hack or chop down the grass. Tilt the line head or line disc to direct the debris away from you on the scything stroke.
Line pushed into wire fencing will snap off. Do not trim near cars or pedestrians. WARNING Do not push the line into tough weeds, trees, or wire fences. Pushing the line into chicken wire, chain link fencing or thick brush can result in snapped-off line ends being hurled back at the operator. The proper way is to cut right up to a barrier, such as any of those mentioned, but never run the line into or through the obstruction. Do not cut closely to obstruction or barrier.
