installed and securely fastened. Failure to do so can
cause serious injury.
■■
■■
■ Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are
properly and securely attached.
■■
■■
■ Use only the manufacturer's replacement string in the
cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
To install any other brand of cutting head to this string
trimmer can result in serious personal injury.
■■
■■

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BRUSHCUTTER AND BLADE USE
■■
■■
■ After engine stops, keep rotating blade in thicker weeds
or pulpy stalks until it stops.
■■
■■
■ Do not operate the brushcutter unless the brushcutter
guard is firmly secured in place and in good condition.
■■
■■
■ Use heavy gloves when operating the brushcutter and
when installing or removing blades.
■■
■■
■ Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before attempting to remove any obstruction caught or
jammed in the blade or before removing and installing
the blade.
■■
■■
■ Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
■■
■■
■ A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger
released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
■■
■■
■ Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always
make sure blade is installed correctly and securely
fastened before each use. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
■■
■■
■ Use only the manufacturer's replacement TRI-ARC®
blade intended for use on this brushcutter. Do not use
any other blade. To install any other brand blade or
cutting head to this brushcutter can result in serious
personal injury.
■■
■■
■ The TRI-ARC® blade is suited for cutting thicker weeds
or pulpy stalks only. Do not use for any other purpose.
Never use the TRI-ARC® blade to cut woody brush.
■■
■■
■ Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this
unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when
the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was
hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust can
occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds.
This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to
see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety,
approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In
the event an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this could minimize the blade thrust
reaction.
■■
■■
■ Never cut any material over 13 mm (1/2 in.) diameter.
■■
■■
■ Always wear the shoulder harness when using the
brushcutter and adjust to a comfortable operating
position. Maintain a firm grip on both handles while
cutting with a blade. Keep the blade away from body and
below waist level.
■■
■■
■ Never use the brushcutter with the blade located 76 cm
(30 in.) or more above the ground level.
