GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to fol-

low all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions and the instructions for the power

head thoroughly before using the attachment.

 Know the tool. Read and understand the operator’s

manual and observe the warnings and instruction labels
affixed to the tool.

 Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this

unit.

 Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked to comply

with ANSI Z87.1 standard and hearing protection when
operating this unit.

 Wear heavy long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, boots, and

gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants,
jewelry of any kind, or go barefoot.

 Secure long hair so it is above shoulder level to prevent

entanglement in any moving parts.

 Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft.

away. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye
protection.

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.

 Do not operate in poor lighting.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.

 Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
 Do not touch areas around the muffler or cylinder of the

power head. These parts get hot from operation. Failure
to heed this warning could result in possible serious
personal injury.

 Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire

before making any adjustments or repairs except for
carburetor adjustments.

 Inspect unit before each use for loose fasteners and

damaged or missing parts. Correct before using the
attachment. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.

 Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts.

Failure to do so may cause poor performance, possible
injury, and will void your warranty.

 Do not, under any circumstance, use any attachment or

accessory on this product, which was not provided with
the product, or identified as appropriate for use with this
product in the operator’s manual.

 Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the attachment

in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.

 Use the right attachment. Do not use attachment for any

job except that for which it is intended.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Ensure handle is mounted in accordance with the assem-

bly instructions in this manual.

Do not attach blade without proper installation of all

required parts. Failure to use proper parts can cause the
blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or
bystanders.

Always use a blade in good condition. A worn blade is

more likely to snag and thrust.

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.

3 — English

Do not attempt to touch or stop 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 bent, warped, cracked,

chipped, or 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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 approach could minimize the blade thrust reaction.

Never cut any material over 1/2 in. diameter.

Always wear the shoulder harness when using the brush-

cutter 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
30 in. or more above the ground level.

To prevent electrical shock or serious personal injury, do

not use this product with any electric power head.

 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and

use them to instruct others who may use this product.
If you loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and
possible injury.

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.

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. Posi­tion 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 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
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.

7 — English

OPERATION

TRI-ARC® BLADE

The TRI-ARC® blade is suited only for thicker weeds and
pulpy stalks. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned
over to extend the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the TRI­ARC® blade.

glass, rocks, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.,
which can be thrown or entangled in the blade.

 Never use blades near sidewalks, fencing, posts, build-

ings or other immovable objects.

 Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first

inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.

 The unit is used for cutting from the right to the left in a

broad sweeping action from side to side.

 Use only the TRI-ARC® blade. To install any other brand

blade or cutting head to this brushcutter could result in
serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:
