HEAVY WEED CUTTING
Install the 8 tooth 20 cm (8 inch) 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 counterclockwise 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 inch) diameter using the 80 tooth  25 cm
(10 inch) 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.
