■ The string head or blade will rotate during carburetor

■ It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to
contribute to the development of these symptoms.
It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or
extent of exposure may contribute to the condition.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
opera-ting the unit wear gloves to keep the hands
and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is
a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician
about these symptoms.
■ Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened
and worn parts replaced.
■ Mix and store fuel in a container approved for fuel.
■ Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.
Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from
refueling site before starting engine.

English (Original instructions)
■ Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or
storing the unit.
■ Allow the engine to cool; empty the fuel tank and
secure the unit from moving before transporting in a
vehicle.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR TRIMMER USE
■ Replace string head if cracked, chipped, or damaged
in any way. Be sure the string head or blade is
properly 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 line in the
cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
■ Never operate unit without the grass deflector in
place and in good condition.
■ Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming.
Keep string head below waist level. Never cut with
the string head located over 76 cm or more above the
ground.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
BRUSHCUTTER AND BLADE USE
■ After engine stops, keep rotating blade in heavy
grass or pulpy weeks until it stops.
■ Do not operate the brushcutter unless the blade
guard is firmly secured in place and in good condition.
■ Use heavy gloves while 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.
■ The TRI-ARC blade is suited for cutting pulpy weeds
and vines 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 diameter.
■ Always wear the shoulder strap 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. Never use the brushcutter with the
blade located 76 cm or more above the ground level.
■ Cover the blade with the blade protector before
storing the unit, or during transportation. Always
remove the blade protector before using the unit.
If not removed, the blade protector could become a
thrown object as the blade begins to turn.
