1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted
about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.
2. You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your
left to the right.
3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.
The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material

4. Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of
losing your balance or control of the unit.
5. Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather
than placing the full workload on the arm and hands.
6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry,
long-stem weeds from wrapping around the head

1. What causes kick out:
• Kick out can occur when the moving blade contacts
• Kick out can occur when the moving blade contacts
an object that it cannot cut. This contact causes the
blade to stop for an instant and then suddenly move

operator can lose control of the unit and the blade
can cause serious personal injury to the operator or
any person nearby if the blade contacts any part of
