INSTRUCTIONS
When using
the blade,
bring the engine to full
throttle before entering the material to be cut. The
Blade has maximum
cutting
power at full throttle
and is less likely to bind_ stall, or cause blade thrust,
which can result in serious injury to the operator or
o_ers.
Refer to "Guard A_st
Blade Thrust".
When using the trianmer bead, do not run the en-
gine 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 en-
gine noise and vibration.

longer and w_ be less likely to "weld" onto the spoo!.
