Bring the engine to cutting speed before
entering the material to be cut. If the blade
does not turn when you squeeze the throttle
trigger, make sure shaft is fully inserted into
the engine.
• Maintain good firm footing while using the
unit. Do this by planting feet firmly in a
comfortable apart position.
• Cut while swinging the upper part of your
body from right to left.
• As you move forward to the next area to
cut, be sure to maintain your balance and
footing.
Cut using the 2

avoid serious injury. Stop engine and blade

WARNING:
Never use wire, rope,
string, etc., which can break off and become
a dangerous missile.
2. Remove any remaining line.
3. Clean dirt and debris from all parts.
Replace spool if it is worn or damaged.
4. Replace with a pre-wound spool, or
replace line using a 4,5 meters length of
2,4 mm diameter line.
5. When installing new line on an existing
spool, hold the spool as shown.
6. Bend the line at the midpoint and insert the
bend into the slot in the center rim of the
spool. Ensure line snaps into position in
the slot.

• Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade is more
likely to snag and thrust.
• Cut only at full throttle. The blade will have
maximum cutting power and is less likely
to bind or stall.
• “Feed” the blade deliberately and not too
rapidly. The blade can thrust away if it is
fed too rapidly.
• Cut only from your left to your right.
Cutting on right side of the shield will
throw debris away from the operator.
• Use the shoulder strap and keep a firm
grip on the unit with both hands. A
properly adjusted shoulder strap will
support the weight of the unit, freeing your
arms and hands to control and guide the
cutting motion.
• Keep feet comfortably spread apart and
braced for a possible sudden, rapid thrust
of unit. Do not overreach. Keep firm
footing and balance.
• Keep blade below waist level; it will be
easier to maintain control of unit.
• Do not raise the engine above your waist
as the blade can come dangerously close
to your body.
• Do not swing unit with such force that you
are in danger of losing your balance.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow
engine to return to idle speed when not
cutting. The blade should not turn while the
engine is running at idle. If the blade turns at
idle, do not use your unit. Refer to the
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT section or
contact your authorized service dealer.
