Trimming operation
Using the rope
For comfortable operation, attach the rope using the following
directions:
1. Attach the enclosed cable holder at the bolt, tightening the
front handle.
2. Hook the ends of the rope, one end to the hook on the har-
ness and the other end to the cable holder on the front han-
dle.
3. Adjust the rope to a comfortable length.
Emergency release
In case of emergency, firmly pull the red tab on your left waist,
then pull the pin out. The machine will release from the strap.
Practice this procedure prior to operating this unit.
Increase engine speed as necessary, heavy weeds will require
more power than cutting grass. - Small trees or heavy brush can
be cut using the circular saw. - The 3 cutter blade should be used
only for cutting grass, brush or for heavy weed control.
Hold the front handle (loop handle) and rear handle both hands.
When cutting weeds or grass, swing the blade right and left in
an arc as you move forward.
The blade rotates anticlockwise, so it is necessary to cut the
object from the right to the left.
The manner of walking is as follows: - Place the right foot in
front of the left foot without fail. - Step the right foot forward
firstly and secure your footing. - And then follow the left foot to
the behind of the right foot.
Avoid striking any obstruction such as rocks, stones or tree
stumps which can damage the blade. - In the event that the
blade strikes an obstruction or is otherwise prevented from ro-
tating in normal operation, the clutch will slip to prevent possi-
ble engine damage. - In this case, stop the engine, free the
blade and then start the operation again.
Do not cut into the ground.
Do not run the unit unloaded at full throttle to avoid damage to
the engine.
Should the unit be operated for an extended period of time in
high temperatures, the angle transmission may become very
hot. If it is too hot to touch, allow the unit to cool down, check
the lubricant as the instruction and continue to operate if in or-
der.
