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.

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.
