SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this  
Always wear the shoulder harness when using the brush-  
unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that 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 can 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  
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,  
this approach could minimize the blade thrust reaction.  
cutter and adjust to a comfortable operating position.  
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while cutting with a  
blade. Keep the blade away from body and below waist  
level. Never use the brushcutter with the blade located  
30 in. or more above the ground level.  
To prevent electrical shock or serious personal injury, do  
not use this product with any electric power head.  
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and  
use them to instruct others who may use this product.  
If you loan someone this product, loan them these  
instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and  
possible injury.  
Never cut any material over 1/2 in. diameter.

sufficient to inflict serious injury.  
WARNING:  
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side  
shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so  
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes  
resulting in possible serious injury.  
Adjust the shoulder harness to position the brushcutter at  
a comfortable operating position and to ensure that the  
shoulder harness will reduce the risk of operator contact  
with the blade.  
Ensure the blade has come to a complete stop before setting  
the brushcutter down.  
WARNING:  
BLADE THRUST  
Do not use any attachments or accessories not  
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The  
use of attachments or accessories not recommended  
can result in serious personal injury.  
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this  
unit. Blade thrust is the reaction that 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 re-  
action can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose  
control of the unit. Blade thrust can occur without warning  
if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to oc-  
cur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.  
For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut  
with the brushcutter from the right to the left. In the event  
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this  
practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
