PERATION OPERATION WITH BLADES Preparing the Trimmer/Brush Cutter for Blade Use Blade use DEMANDS specific Brush Cutter configuration. Operation without specified shield and harness can result in serious personal injury. Plastic and Nylon Blades Require "Blade Conversion Kit," P/N 99922200415 (metal shield, barrier bar, and shoulder harness).
Page 19
Waist Harness is recommended for ALL Trimmer/Brush Cutter use, not just Blade operation. The Shoulder/Waist Harness when used in a trimming operation with nylon line head suspends the trimmer from the operator's shoulder and reduces operator fatigue. During blade operation, the same fatigue reduction is achieved. Safety to the operator is also enhanced by preventing blade contact with the operators hands and feet by restricting trimmer movement.
