IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
WARNING: Improper use of
any brushcutter trimmer can
cause serious or fatal injury.
Read, understand and follow
all safety instructions in your
instruction manual. To reduce
the risk of injury from blade
contact, circular saw blades
may be used on FS brush-
cutters that have a bicycle
handle and double shoulder
harness and not on FS brush-
cutters with a “J” handle or
loop handle (R). Other rigid
blades may be used on FS
brushcutters having a bicycle
handle, a “J” handle, or a
loop handle equipped with a
barrier bar. To reduce the risk
of eye injury, always wear
proper eye protection. Always
use the appropriate deflector
for the type of cutting attach-
ment, as explained in your
instruction manual.
