APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purpose listed below:

 Cutting thicker weeds and pulpy stalks only

WARNING:

To avoid burns from hot surfaces, never operate unit with

the bottom of the engine above waist level.

ASSEMBLY

ATTACHING THE “J” HANDLE

See Figure 3.

The “J” handle must be used to ensure the best control

and maximize operator safety when using the brushcutter.

 Hold the top and bottom clamp snugly in position on the

shaft housing so that handle will be located to the opera-

tor’s left.

 Insert the end of the handle between the clamps.

 Align the bolt holes and push the long bolt (1/4-20 x

1-1/2 in.) through the handle side. Place short bolt (1/4-20

x 1 in.) through opposite side of clamp.

 Install flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts to hold

the assembly in place.

 After assembly is complete, adjust the position of the

handle for best balance and comfort.

 Tighten the long bolt, then the short bolt.

OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER

See Figures 5 - 6.

Hold the brushcutter with your right hand on the rear handle

and your left hand on the “J” handle. Keep a firm grip with

both hands while in operation. Brushcutter should be held

at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip

height. Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Posi-

tion yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the

kickback reaction of the cutting blade.

Adjust the shoulder harness to position the brushcutter at

a comfortable operating position and to ensure that the

shoulder harness will reduce the risk of operator contact

with the blade.

Ensure the blade has come to a complete stop before setting

the brushcutter down.

BLADE THRUST

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 re-

action 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 oc-

cur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.

For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut

with the brushcutter from the right to the left. In the event

an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this

practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction.

INSTALLING THE SHOULDER HARNESS AND

STRAP HANGER

See Figure 4.

 Pull apart the ends of the shoulder harness hanger to

expand slightly.

 Slide the hanger over the power head shaft immediately

behind the “J” handle.

 Squeeze hanger ends together to retighten.

 Install the bolt, lock washer, and lock nut to secure.

 Connect the latch on the shoulder harness to the strap

hanger.
