SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
The TRI-ARC® blade is suited for cutting thicker weeds  
Ensure handle is mounted in accordance with the assem-  
or pulpy stalks only. Do not use for any other purpose.  
bly instructions in this manual.  
Never use the TRI-ARC® blade to cut woody brush.  
Do not attach blade without proper installation of all  
required parts. Failure to use proper parts can cause the  
blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or  
bystanders.  
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  
operator 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  
the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event  
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered,  
this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.  
Always use a blade in good condition. A worn blade is  
more likely to snag and thrust.  
After engine stops, keep rotating blade in thicker weeds  
or pulpy stalks until it stops.  
Do not operate the brushcutter unless the brushcutter  
guard is firmly secured in place and in good condition.  
Use heavy gloves when operating the brushcutter and  
when installing or removing blades.  
Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire  
before attempting to remove any obstruction caught or  
jammed in the blade or before removing and installing  
the blade.  
Never cut any material over 1/2 in. diameter.  
Always wear the shoulder harness when using the brush-  
cutter and adjust to a comfortable operating position.  
Do not attempt to touch or stop blade when it is rotating.  
Maintain a firm grip on both handles while cutting with a  
blade. Keep the blade away from body and below waist  
level. Never use the brushcutter with the blade located  
30 in. or more above the ground level.  
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues  
to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle trigger  
released.  
Maintain proper control until the blade has completely

stopped rotating.  
Replace any blade that has been bent, warped, cracked,  
chipped, or damaged. Always make sure blade is installed  
correctly and securely fastened before each use. Failure  
to do so can cause serious injury.  
Use only the manufacturer’s replacement TRI-ARC®blade  
intended for use on this brushcutter. Do not use any other  
blade. To install any other brand blade or cutting head to  
this brushcutter can result in serious personal injury.

a comfortable operating position and to ensure that the  
shoulder harness will reduce the risk of operator contact  
with the blade.  
DIRECTION OF ROTATION  
Ensurethebladehascometoacompletestopbeforesetting  
the brushcutter down.  
BLADE THRUST  
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 operator 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 the weeds being cut  
with the brushcutter from the right to the left. In the event  
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this  
practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction.  
CUTTING AREA  
Fig. 6  
Always hold brushcutter on your right side with both hands  
when operating. Use a firm grip on both handles.  
TRI-ARC® BLADE  
Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position  
yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the  
kickback reaction of the cutting blade.  
The TRI-ARC® blade is suited only for thicker weeds and  
pulpy stalks. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned  
over to extend the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the TRI-  
ARC® blade.  
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such as  
glass, rocks, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.,  
which can be thrown or entangled in the blade.  
Use only TRI-ARC® blade, part number 06297, available at  
your service center.  
Never use blades near sidewalks, fencing, posts, build-  
ings or other immovable objects.  
CUTTING TECHNIQUE - BLADE  
WARNING:  
Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure  
safe operation. For safe operation when using the blade,  
refer to Specific Safety Rules earlier in this manual.  
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first  
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is  
detected.  
The unit is used for cutting from the right to the left in a  
broad sweeping action from side to side.  
Use only the TRI-ARC® blade. To install any other brand  
blade or cutting head to this brushcutter could result in  
serious personal injury.
