OPERATION
GT GRASS TRIMMER & SRM TRIMMER/
BRUSHCUTTER OPERATION
GT/SRM/PAS Units - Using Nylon Line Heads
WARNING
Flying Debris
Line heads rotate at high speed - rotating nylon line can
throw debris with sufficient force to cause injury. Keep
bystanders and pets out of the “Danger Zone,” a 50 foot
(15 meter) radius around the unit being operated.
• ALWAYS check area for hidden hazards before
starting. Trimmer head or nylon line contact with
hidden hazards (sprinkler heads, metal stakes, etc.)
can result in loss of control of unit, nylon line break-
age, and flying pieces of line or other ground debris.
• Make sure line head is securely attached to gear
case drive shaft, and, if used to install line head,
locking bar has been removed.
• Make sure cut-off knife is properly assembled to the
debris shield, and nylon line head is secured.
• Make sure debris shield is aligned with drive shaft,
and is properly secured to the gear case housing.
• Keep debris flow directed away from operator to
minimize risk of being struck and injured by flying
debris. Debris flows in direction of line head rota-
tion at point of cutting contact. Change line head
position as needed to change debris flow.
• Contact with spinning nylon line will cause serious
injury. Keep hands, feet, and all other body parts
away from line head.
• Keep cutting line away from wire fences to avoid
entanglement with loose or broken wires. Entangled
fence wire can spin around with cutting head at high
speed, and cause serious injuries.
Make sure line head is
securely fastened
