SMALL TREES
• The unit will effectively cut small trees up to 8 cm
diameter using new blade approved by ECHO.
• Before attempting to cut, ensure that the falling
tree will fall away from you, and if necessary, tie a
rope to the tree and have an assistant pull it in a
safe direction.
• Do not attempt to "plunge cut", i.e. using the
brushcutter like an axe. It is not necessary and
may cause serious damage to the machine.
• Brace your feet firmly on the ground and cut with
the left hand side of the blade.
NOTE
1. Always cut on full throttle.
2. Never try cutting with a blunt blade.
