OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF BRUSHCUTTER ATTACH­
MENT WITH TRIMMER HEAD

^WARNING: Always wear eye

protection. Never lean over the trim­
mer head. Rocks or debris can rico­
chet or be thrown into eyes and face
and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
Before trimming, bring engine to a
speed sufficient to cut material to be

trimmed.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed

than necessary. The cutting line will cut

efficiently when the engine is run at less

than full throttle. At lower speeds, there

is less engine noise and vibration. Al­

ways release the throttle trigger and

allow the engine to return to idle speed

when not cutting.

CUTTING METHODS

WARNING;

Use minimum speed

and do not crowd the line when cutting
around hard objects (rock, gravel,

fence posts, etc.), which can damage
the trimmer head, become entangled

in the line, or be thrown causing a seri­

ous hazard.

• The tip of the line does the cutting.

You will achieve the best perform­

ance and minimum line wear by not
crowding the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.
