OPERATION

Blade Selection

The type of Blade used MUST be matched to the type and size of material cut. An improper or dull
blade can cause serious personal injury. Blades MUST be sharp. Dull blades increase the chance of
kick-out and injury to yourself and bystanders.

Plastic/Nylon Grass/Weed Blades may be used where ever
the nylon line head is used. DO NOT use this blade for heavy
weeds or brush!

8 Tooth Weed/Grass Blade is designed for grass, garden
debris and thick weeds up to 19 mm (3/4”) diameter. DO NOT
use this blade for brush or heavy woody growth.

80 Tooth Brush Blade is designed for cutting brush and woody
growth up to 13 mm (1/2 in.) diameter.

22 Tooth Clearing Blade is designed for dense thickets and
saplings up to 64 mm (2-1/2 in.) diameter.

Use Shoulder/Waist Harness Use of the Shoulder/Waist
Harness is recommended for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use,
not just Blade operation. The Shoulder/Waist Harness when
used in a trimming operation with nylon line head suspends the
trimmer from the operator's shoulder and reduces operator
fatigue.

During blade operation, the same fatigue reduction is achieved.
Safety to the operator is also enhanced by reducing the
possibility of blade contact with the operator's hands and feet by
restricting trimmer movement.
