To insiall any
other
brand
blade
or cutting
head
to
this brushcutter
can
result

r
The Tri-Arc@

is suited
for cutting
thicker weeds
or
pulpy
stalks
only.
Do not use

other
purpose.
Never
use the
Tri-Arc@
blade
to cut woody
brush.
I
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
op-
erator 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
tr
the weeds being cut
from the right to the left.
In the event
I
an unexpected object
or woody stock is encountered.
thisl
could
minimize the blade thrust reaction.
I
r
Never cut any
material over 1/2 in. diameter.
I
I
Always wear
the
shoulder
harness when using
the brush-l
cutter and
adjust to a comfortable
operating
position.l
Maintain a firm
grip
on
both handles while cutting
with
al
blade. Keep the blade
away from
your
body
and belowl
waist
level.
