OPERATION

TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS

1. Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is

tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep

direction.

2. Sweep from left to right to avoid thrown debris.

3. Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.

4. Never swing the unit hard as you are in danger of

losing your balance or control of the unit.

5. Try to control the cutting motion with your hip

rather than placing the full workload on your

arms and hands.

6. Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead,

dry, long-stem weeds from wrapping around the

shaft head.

Such materials can stall the head and cause the

clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the clutch

system if repeated frequently.

CUTTING METHOD

1. Use the front left side for optimal cutting.

2. Guide the blade from your right to left with it

tilted slightly to your left.

3. When mowing a wide area, start working from

your left end to avoid interference of cut grass.

4. The blade may be seized by weeds if the engine

speed is too low, or the blade cuts too deep into

weeds. Adjust the engine speed and cutting

depth according to the type of material being cut.

If grass or other object get caught in the blade,

or if the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off

the engine and check the whole unit. Change the

blade if it has been damaged.

Turn off the engine and make sure the blade has

completely stopped before checking the blade

and removing any object that has got caught in.

Always wear eye protection during operation. Never lean over rotating cutting head.

Never swing the unit hard as you are in danger of losing your balance or control of the unit.

OPERATION

CHOOSE THE BLADE

Choose the suitable recommended cutting attach-

ment according to the object to be cut

When replacing blade always be sure to use Parker

Brand products.

When sharpening, removing, or attaching the blade,

be sure to wear thick, sturdy gloves and use only

proper tools and equipment to prevent injury.

ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH

Your brush cutter is equipped with a semi-auto

type nylon trimmer head that allows the operator to

advance the line without stopping the engine. When

the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on the

ground while running the engine at full throttle.

Each time the head is bumped, the line advances

about 1 inch (25.4mm). For better effect, tap the head

on bare ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick,

tall grass as the engine may stall by overload.

TWIN LINE SPOOL

Use this for light trimming.

3 TOOTH BLADE

Use this blade for dense growth.

9 TOOTH BLADE

Use this for extremely dense growth.

OPERATION

1. Check the bolt to fasten the blade and be sure

the bolt has no faults or damage.

2. Be sure that the blade and the holder have been

fastened according to instruction and that the

blade turns smoothly without abnormal noise.

The rotating parts fastened incorrectly may cause

serious injury to the operator.

Make sure that the blade is not bent, warped,

cracked, broken or damaged.

If you find any error to the blade, discard it and

replace with a new one.

Make sure to use the harness and cutting

attachment guard. If not, it is very dangerous when

you slip or lose your balance.

TRANSPORTING THE UNIT

• When you finish cutting in one location and wish

to continue work in another spot, turn off the

engine, lift up the unit and carry it, paying

attention to the blade.

• Never forget to place the protective cover over

the blades while transporting.

• When transporting the unit over long distances,

detach the blade and fasten the unit by ropes.

CONTROLLING BLADE THRUST

Blade thrust can cause serious personal injury.

Carefully study this section. It is important that you

understand what causes blade thrust, how you can

reduce the chance of it, and how you can remain in

control of the unit if blade thrust occurs.

What causes blade thrust:

• Blade thrust can occur when the moving blade

come in contact with an object that it cannot

cut. This contact causes the blade to stop for

an instant and then suddenly move or "bounce"

away from the object that was hit. The operator

can lose control of the unit and the blade can

cause serious personal injury to the operator, or

any person nearby if the blade contacts any part

of the body.

How you can reduce the chance of blade thrust:

• Recognise that the blade thrust can happen. By

understanding and knowing about blade thrust

you can help eliminate the element of surprise

• Cut fibrous weeds and grass only. Do not let the

blade contact materials it cannot cut such as

hard, woody vines, and bushes or rocks, fences,

metal etc.

• Be extra prepared for thrust if you must cut

where you cannot see the blade making contact

such as in areas of dense growth.

• Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade increases the

chance of thrust.

• Avoid feeding the blade too rapidly. The blade

can bounce away from material being cut if the

blade is fed faster than its cutting capability.

• Cut only from your right to your left.

How you can maintain control:

• Keep a good, firm grip on the unit with both

hands. A firm grip can help neutralise thrust.

Keep your right and left hands completely

around the respective handles.

• Keep both feet spread apart in a comfortable

stance and yet braced for the possibility that the

unit could bounce. Do not overreach. Keep firm

footing and balance.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Engine will not start

No spark

To check for spark: Disconnect the spark plug wire. Reattach the spark

plug wire and lay spark plug on metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and

watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat test with a

new spark plug
