OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

BRUSHCUTTER ATTACHMENT

• Blade Thrust is a reaction that only

occurs when using a bladed unit. This

reaction can cause serious injury such

as amputation. Carefully study this
section. It is important that you under-

stand what causes blade thrust, how
you can reduce the chance of its oc-

curring, and how you can remain in
control of unit if blade thrust occurs.

• WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST -

Blade Thrust can occur when spin-
ning blade contacts an object that it

does not cut. This contact causes

blade to stop for an instant and then

suddenly move or "thrust" away from
object that was hit. The "thrusting" re-

action can be violent enough to cause
operator to be propelled in any direc-

tion and lose control of unit. The un-
controlled unit can cause serious injury

if blade contacts operator or others.

• WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS

- 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. By using the unit
properly, the occurrence of blade

thrust will be reduced and the opera-
tor will be less likely to lose control.

• Cut only grass, weeds, and woody
brush up to 1/2 inch (1 cm) in diameter

with weed blade. Do not let blade con-
tact material it cannot cut such as

stumps, rocks, fences, metal, etc., or
clusters of hard, woody brush with a

diameter greater than 1/2 inch (1 cm).

• Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is
more likely to snag and thrust.

• Cut only at full throttle. The blade will
have maximum cutting power and is

less likely to bind or stall.

• "Feed" the blade deliberately and not
too rapidly. The blade can thrust

away if it is fed too rapidly.

• Cut only from your left to your right.
Swinging unit in the same direction as
blade spin increases cutting action.

• Use the shoulder strap and keep a
firm grip on the unit with both hands.

A properly adjusted shoulder strap
will support the weight of the unit,

freeing your arms and hands to con-
trol and guide the cutting motion.

• Keep feet comfortably spread apart
and braced for a possible sudden,

rapid thrust of unit. Do not overreach.
Keep firm footing and balance.

• Keep blade below waist level. It will
be easier to maintain control of unit.

• Do not raise the engine above your

waist as the blade can come danger-
ously close to your body.

• Do not swing the unit with such force

that you are in danger of losing your

balance.

Bring the powerhead engine to cutting

speed before entering the material to

be cut.
If the blade does not turn when you

squeeze the throttle trigger of the pow-
erhead, make sure the attachment is

fully inserted into the coupler.
Always release the throttle trigger and

allow powerhead engine to return to
idle speed when not cutting. The blade

should not turn while the engine is run-

ning at idle. If the blade turns at idle,
do not use your unit. Refer to the CAR-

BURETOR ADJUSTMENT section of the
powerhead manual or contact your

Sears Service Centre.

• Maintain good firm footing while us-
ing the unit. Do this by planting feet

firmly in a comfortable apart position.

• Cut while swinging the upper part of

your body from left to right.

• As you move forward to the next

area to cut, be sure to maintain your

balance, and footing.
