in the center of the blade.
4. Slide the blade and retaining
washer onto the shaft of the gearbox.
5. Place the cupped washer onto the
shaft. Make sure the cupped side
of the washer is toward the blade.
6. Install the blade nut by threading
onto the shaft counterclockwise.

shown and check for the following:
• Wear eye protection and heavy
clothing.
• Keep arms extended with right hand
holding the trigger handle of powerhead.

• Keep left arm extended with left hand
holding the handlebar.
• Keep unit below waist level.
• Shoulder strap pad should be centered on your left shoulder and danger sign centered on your back.
• Maintain full weight of tool on left
shoulder.
• Without bending over, keep the blade
near and parallel to the ground and
not crowded into material being cut.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF BRUSHCUTTER ATTACH*
MENT WITH TRIMMER HEAD
_l_ WARNING:
Always wear eye
protection. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face
and cause blindness or other serious
injury.
Before trimming, bring engine to a
speed sufficient to cut material to be
trimmed.
De net run the engine at a higher speed
than necessary. The cutting line will cut
efficiently when the engine _srun at less
than full throttle. At lower speeds, there
is less engine noise and vibration. Always release the throttle trigger and
allow the engine to return to idle speed
when not cutting.
CUTTING METHODS
_I_WARNING:
Use minimum speed
and do not crowd the line when cutting
around hard objects (rock, gravel,
fence posts, etc.), which can damage
the trimmer head, become entangled
in the line, or be thrown causing a serious hazard.
• The tip of the line does the cutting.
You will achieve the best performance and minimum line wear by not
crowding the line into the cutting
area. The right and wrong ways are
shown below.
Tip of line does the

Right

11

Line crowded into

i Wrong

* The

line will easily remove grass and
weeds from around walls, fences,
trees and flower beds, but it also can
cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs
and scar fences.
* For trimming or scalping, use less
than full throttle to increase line life
and decrease head wear, especially:
• During light duty cutting.
• Near objects around which the line
can wrap such as small posts,
trees or fence wire.
* For mowing or sweeping, use full
throttle for a good clean job.
TRIMMING - Hold the bottom of the
trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)
above the ground and at an angle. Allow
only the tip of the line to make contact.
Do not force trimmer line into work
area.
Trimming

SCALPING - The scalping technique
removes unwanted vegetation down to
the ground. Hold the bottom of the
trimmer head about 3 inches (8 cm)
above the ground and at an angle. Allow the tip of the line to strike the
ground around trees, posts, monuments, etc. This technique increases
line wear.
Scalping

MOWING - Your trimmer is ideal for
mowing in places conventional lawn
mowers cannot reach. In the mowing
position, keep the line parallel to the
ground. Avoid pressing the head into
the ground as this can scalp the
ground and damage the tool.

Mowing

SWEEPING - The fanning action of
the rotating line can be used to blow
away loose debris from an area. Keep
the line parallel to and above the area
surface and swing the tool from side to
side.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF BRUSHCUTTER ATTACH*
MENT WITH WEED BLADE
* Blade Thrust is a reaction that only
occurs when using a bladed unit. This
reaction can cause serious injury such
as amputation. Carefully study this
section. It is important that you understand what causes blade thrust, how
you can reduce the chance of its occurring, and how you can remain in
control of unit if blade thrust occurs.
* WHAT CAUSES BLADE THRUST Blade Thrust can occur when spinning blade contacts an object that it
does not cut. This contact causes
blade to stop for an instant and then
suddenly move or "thrust" away from
object that was hit. The "thrusting" reaction can be violent enough to cause
operator to be propelled in any direction and lose control of unit. The uncontrolled unit can cause serious injury
if blade contacts operator or others.
* WHEN BLADE THRUST OCCURS
- 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. By using the unit
properly, the occurrence of blade
thrust will be reduced and the operator will be less likely to lose control.

• Use the shoulder strap and keep a
firm grip on the unit with both hands.
A properly adjusted shoulder strap
will support the weight of the unit,
freeing your arms and hands to control and guide the cutting motion.
• Keep feet comfortably spread apart
and braced for a possible sudden,
rapid thrust of unit. Do not overreach.
Keep firm footing and balance.
• Keep blade below waist level. It will
be easier to maintain control of unit.
• Do not raise the engine above your
waist as the blade can come dangerously close to your body.
• Do not swing the unit with such force
that you are in danger of losing your
balance.

Bring the powerhead engine to cutting
speed before entering the material to
be cut.
If the blade does not turn when you
squeeze the throttle trigger of the powerhead, make sure the attachment is
fully inserted into the coupler.
Always release the throttle trigger and
allow powerhead engine to return to
idle speed when not cutting. The blade
should not turn while the engine is running at idle. If the blade turns at idle,
do not use your unit. Refer to the CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT section of the
powerhead manual or contact your
Sears Service Center.
• Maintain good firm footing while using the unit. Do this by planting feet
firmly in a comfortable apart position.
• Cut while swinging the upper part of
your body from left to right.
• As you move forward to the next
area to cut, be sure to maintain your
balance, and footing.
RECOMMENDED CUTTING POSITION
Cut using the 2

position of the
blade

_l_ WARNING:
The operator or others must not try to clear away cut material with the engine running or the
blade turning to avoid serious injury.
Stop engine and blade before removing materials wrapped around blade or
