HEAVY WEED CUTTING

• Install the 8 tooth 20 cm (8 in) blade. (option)

• Observing all precautions as listed in this

manual, start the engine and using full throttle,

swing the blade in an arc as you move forward

slowly. The cutter rotates counter-clockwise

and the debris will be pushed backwards so the

work area will always be visible.

SMALL TREES

• The unit will effectively cut small trees up to 7.5

cm (3 in) diameter using the 80 tooth 25 cm

(10 in) diameter new blade.

• Before attempting to cut, ensure that the falling

tree will fall away from you, and if necessary,

tie a rope to the tree and have an assistant pull

it in a safe direction.

• Do not attempt to “plunge cut”, i.e. using the

brushcutter like an axe. It is not necessary and

may cause serious damage to the brushcutter.

• Brace your feet firmly on the ground and cut

with the left hand side of the blade.

CAUTION

1. Always cut on full throttle.

2. Never try cutting with a blunt blade.

BRUSHCUTTING

• Install the 80 tooth blade.

• Proceed exactly as for weed and grass cutting.
