few seconds before retapping the bump knob. Do not allow the line to wear too short. Keep the cutting line at full length.
OPERATING AS A BRUSHCUTTER (FIG. 8-9)
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING
Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure safe operation. Read the safety information for safe operation using the blade, refer to “Specific Safety
Rules for Brushcutter and Blade Use” earlier in this manual.
WARNING
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect spark plug lead and move it away from spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
TRI-ARC BLADE
The TRI-ARC blade is suited only for pulpy weeds and vines. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the TRI-
ARC blade.
Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height. Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade. If using a shoulder strap adjust to position the brushcutter at a comfortable operating position. Shoulder straps are available as an accessory and may help to reduce operator fatigue.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this could cause the blade thrust reaction.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING
Neglected or poorly conducted maintenance may create additional hazards. Do not attempt to repair or maintain this product if you are not qualified to do so.
If in doubt, return to a service centre for professional assistance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleumbased products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
8
