installed and securely fastened. Failure to do so can cause
serious injury.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors, and handles are

the cutting attachment stops turning when the engine
idles. When the unit is turned off make sure the cutting
attachment has stopped before the unit is set down.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues
to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger
released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always make
sure blade is installed correctly and securely fastened
before each use. Failure to do so can cause serious
injury.
Use only the manufacturer's replacement Tri-Arc
intended for use on this brushcutter. Do not use any other
blade. To install any other brand blade or cutting head to
this brushcutter can result in serious personal injury.
The Tri-Arc
blade is suited for cutting thicker weeds or
®
pulpy stalks only. Do not use for any other purpose. Never
use the Tri-Arc
blade to cut woody brush.

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 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 could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
Never cut any material over 1/2 in. diameter.
Always wear the shoulder harness when using the
brushcutter and adjust to a comfortable operating position.
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while cutting with a
blade. Keep the blade away from your body and below
waist level.
Never use the brushcutter with the blade located 30 in.
or more above the ground level.
