IMPORTANT NOTICE
THIS INFORMATION IS FOR THE US AND CANADIAN MARKETS ONLY.
• To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never use a metal blade on a curved shaft grass trimmer.
• Never use a metal blade on any brushcutter without barrier bar or bicycle handle configuration and safety strap and
approve guard.
• Use only attachments or accessories designed for your unit. Although some unauthorized parts may be adaptable,
their use may be extremely dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.
Tanaka offers the following kits and accessories for use on Tanaka trimmers and brushcutters.

the necessary blade mounting hardware. See your Tanaka dealer for more details.
Blade Guard Kit, #30060
Some of these models were supplied with a safety guard not suitable for blade use and will require the use of blade

WARNING!
The blade conversion kit MUST be used when operating these models with blades and do not install without the use
of the blade-securing cotter pin (included in the conversion kit). Proper installation of all blade-mounting hardware is
required when converting a grass trimmer to a blade-capable brush cutter. Consult your Tanaka dealer if you are
uncertain about any aspect of blade use on your Tanaka unit.
