SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
Stop the unit, switch the engine to off, and disconnect
the spark plug (or unplug the unit) for maintenance or
repair.
Use only original equipment manufacturer replacement
parts and accessories for this unit. These are available
from your authorized service dealer. Use of any
unauthorized parts or accessories could lead to
serious injury to the user, or damage to the unit, and
void your warranty.
Keep unit clean of vegetation and other materials.
Always use the shoulder harness when using the
brush blade attachment.
•Keep the J-handle between the operator and blade at
all times.
NEVER cut when the cutting blade is 30 inches
(76 cm) or more above the ground level.
Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade
contacts an object that it does not immediately cut.
Blade thrust can be violent enough to propel the unit
and/or operator in any direction, possibly causing a
loss of control. 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 operation with the brush blade, do not cut
anything thicker than 1/2 inch or a violent kickback
could occur.
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
•A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to
spin after the engine is stopped or the throttle trigger
is released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
Do not run the unit at high speed when not cutting.
If you strike or become entangled with a foreign
object, stop the engine immediately and check for
damage. Have any damage repaired before attempting
further operations. Do not operate unit with a bent,

IDENTIFY & REMOVE YOUR ASSIST HANDLE
Your trimmer is configured with one of many types of
assist handles. You must remove the current assist
handle and install the 24” J-handle (included) in order to
use the TBBC attachment.
Consult your trimmer’s manual to determine what type of
handle you have. Follow the instructions outlined in the
manual in order to remove the current handle and its
clamps, screws, nuts, bolts or other hardware.
NOTE: Your trimmer may be equipped with a small
J–handle. This small handle is NOT an acceptable
substitute for the larger J-handle that is included
with the TBBC. Remove the smaller J-handle so
you can install the larger, 24-inch handle.
Before you can use the TBBC attachment, you must
make some adjustments to the trimmer or trimmer/
brushcutter that you are attaching the TBBC to. You will
have to:
Remove your current assist handle
Install the supplied 24” J-handle
Install the shoulder strap clip (if necessary)
Attach/adjust the shoulder strap
These instructions are explained on the next couple
pages.
To comply with
safety regulations,
you MUST use the large 24” J-handle that is
included with the attachment when
operating the TBBC. The handle is required
as a barrier bar to the brush blade.

USING THE CUTTING BLADE
To establish a rhythmic cutting procedure:
Plant feet firmly, comfortably apart.
Bring the engine to full throttle before entering the
material to be cut. At full throttle the blade has
maximum cutting power and is less likely to bind, stall
or cause blade thrust (which can result in serious
personal injury to the operator or others).
Cut while swinging the upper part of your body from
left to right.
Always release the throttle trigger and allow the engine
to return to idle speed when not cutting.
When you are finished, always unsnap the unit from
the harness before taking off the harness.
Maneuver the unit in the opposite direction as the
blade spins, which increases the cutting action.
Always wear eye,
hearing, foot, body
protection and the shoulder strap to reduce the
risk of injury when operating this unit.
WARNING:
Do not use the
cutting blade for
edging or as an edger. Severe personal injury
to yourself or others can result.
WARNING:
Bl
ade thrust may
occur when the
spinning blade contacts an object that it does
not immediately cut. Blade thrust can be
violent enough to cause the unit and/or
operator to be propelled in any direction, and
possibly 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.
WARNING:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

spécialement conçus et homologués pour le stockage
de ce type de produit.
Éviter de créer une source d’allumage pour le carburant
répandu. Ne pas lancer le moteur avant que toutes les
vapeurs se soient dissipées, afin d’éviter de créer une
source d’allumage pour le carburant répandu.
Toujours arrêter le moteur et le laisser refroidir avant
faire l’appoint de carburant. Ne jamais retirer le
bouchon du réservoir de carburant ou faire l’appoint
pendant que le moteur est chaud. Ne jamais utiliser
l’outil sans que le bouchon du réservoir soit bien en
place. Desserrer le bouchon lentement afin de relâcher
la pression du réservoir.
•Mélanger et ajoutez le carburant dans un endroit bien
aéré et propre, en plein air, à l’abri des sources
d’étincelles ou flammes vives. Ne retirer (lentement) le
bouchon du réservoir d’essence qu’après avoir arrêté
le moteur. Ne pas fumer pendant l’approvisionnement
ou le mélange de carburant. Essuyer immédiatement le
carburant répandu sur l’outil.
Éloigner l’outil d’au moins 9 m (30 pi) du point
d’approvisionnement en carburant avant de démarrer
le moteur. Ne pas fumer et éloigner toute source
d’étincelles ou de flammes vives du point
d’approvisionnement ou d’utilisation de l’outil.
Appuyez sur la manette des gaz et assurez-vous
qu'elle revient automatiquement en position de ralenti.

d'utiliser l'appareil.
PENDANT L'UTILISATION DE L'APPAREIL
Évitez de démarrer ou de faire marcher l'appareil à
l'intérieur d'une pièce ou d'un bâtiment fermé. La
respiration de fumées d'échappement peut tuer. Ne
faites fonctionner cet appareil qu'à l'extérieur dans un
endroit bien aéré.
Portez des lunettes de sécurité conformes aux normes
ANSI Z87.1 ainsi que des protège-oreilles durant
l'utilisation de l'appareil. Portez un masque facial ou
antipoussières si vous travaillez dans un lieu
poussiéreux.
Portez des pantalons épais et longs, des bottes, des
gants et une chemise à manches longues. Ne marchez
pas pieds nus et évitez les vêtements lâches, bijoux,
pantalons courts et sandales. Relevez les cheveux au-
dessus des épaules.
Ajustez la poignée selon votre taille pour mieux
l'agripper.
N'utilisez l'appareil qu'en plein jour ou avec un bon
éclairage artificiel.
Évitez tout démarrage accidentel. Mettez-vous en
position de démarrage chaque fois que vous tirez sur
la corde de démarrage. L'opérateur et l'appareil

là. Voir les Instructions de démarrage et d'arrêt.
Ne vous étirez pas. Tenez-vous toujours bien sur vos
pieds en position d'équilibre.

silencieux. Ces pièces deviennent très chaudes à
l'utilisation. Elles restent chaudes brièvement après
l'arrêt.
Ne faites pas fonctionner le moteur à un régime plus
élevé que nécessaire pour couper, tailler ou faire les
bordures. Ne faites pas tourner le moteur à haut
régime si vous ne vous faites pas de coupe.
