Blade thrust is the reaction which 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 may 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 from cutting ease and
safely,approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left,in the event
that an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,this could
minimise the blade thrust reaction (See fig.18).
Scything weeds
This is cutting by swinging the blade in a level area. It can quickly clear
areas of field grass and weeds. Scything should not be used to cut large,
tough weeds or woody growths (See fig.19).
NOTE: Do not use a brush blade to cut trees which exceed a diameter of
1/2 to 3/4 inches.
Scything can be done in both directions, or just in one way which results in
the debris being thrown away from you.
That is using the side of the blade that it is rotating away from you. Tilt down the blade slightly on this
same side .You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both directions.
Do not force the blade to cut. Do not change the angle of cut after into the wood. Avoid using any
pressure or leverage which could cause the blade to bind or crack.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories and attachments.
Failure to do so can cause possible injury, poor performance and may void your warranty.

The cutting attachment must not rotate in idle mode.If this requirement is not satisfied,the cluth has to
be adjusted or the machine needs an urgent maintenance by a qualified technician.

You may make adjustments and repairs described here.For other repairs,have the trimmer serviced by
an authorized service agent.

Consequences of improper maintenance may include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of
performance and discharge of black oily residue dripping from the muffler.
