OPERATION
GRASS TRIMMER & TRIMMER/BRUSHCUTTER
OPERATION
GT/SRM/PAS Units - Using Nylon Line Heads
WARNING
Flying Debris
Line heads rotate at high speed - rotating nylon
line can throw debris with sufficient force to cause
injury. Keep bystanders and pets out of the
"Danger Zone," a 50 foot (15 meter) radius around
the unit being operated.
• ALWAYS check area for hidden hazards before
starting. Trimmer head or nylon line contact with
hidden hazards (sprinkler heads, metal stakes,
etc.) can result in loss of control of unit, nylon line
breakage, and flying pieces of line or other ground
debris.
• Make sure line head is securely attached to gear
case drive shaft, and, if used to install line head,
locking bar has been removed.
• Make sure cut-off knife is properly assembled to the
debris shield, and nylon line head is secured.
• Make sure debris shield is aligned with drive shaft, and
is properly secured to the gear case housing.
• Keep debris flow directed away from operator to
minimize risk of being struck and injured by flying
debris. Debris flows in direction of line head
rotation at point of cutting contact. Change line
head position as needed to change debris flow.
• Contact with spinning nylon line will cause serious
injury. Keep hands, feet, and all other body parts
away from line head.
• Keep cutting line away from wire fences to avoid
entanglement with loose or broken wires. Entangled
fence wire can spin around with cutting head at high
speed, and cause serious injuries.
• NEVER operate trimmer with cutting head above knee height - operation
with the cutting head well above ground level produces a higher debris flow,
and can cause debris to strike you in the face.
