Blades And Shields - Honda HHT31S Owner's Manual

RECOMMENDED CUTTING ATTACHMENTS

BLADES AND SHIELDS

A variety of blades are available from your Honda
trimmer servicing dealer. Always use a debris
shield designed for use with a blade when
attaching a blade to your trimmer. The blade type
debris shield does not have a cutoff knife.
Honda HHT31SUNBA trimmers are supplied with
a blade cover surrounding the edge of the blade.
For safety, and to protect the blade, the cover
should be installed whenever the trimmer is not in
use.
If installing a metal blade on a Honda trimmer
equipped with a loop handle, also install the
optional barrier kit that includes a full shoulder
harness, a barrier bar, and a debris shield for
metal blades. Follow the installation instructions
and safety information that comes with the kit.
Grass/Weed Blades
Grass/weed blades, which may be plastic or
metal, are used as an alternative to nylon
monofilament line for cutting grass and ordinary
weeds.
However, blades should never be used for edging
against solid surfaces.
Weed/Brush Blades
These metal blades have chisel-shaped teeth
that are used for cutting through field grass, thick
weeds, and light brush. They are not designed for
sawing woody material. The teeth must be sharp
for good results.
Brush/Wood Blades
These metal saw-tooth blades are used for
sawing through saplings, shrubs and woody
brush. The teeth must be sharp for good results.
Brush/wood blades will also cut grass and
weeds, but they are not efficient for that purpose.
