WARNING
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins
to vibrate abnormally, immediately turn off the product
and inspect it for damage or identify the cause of the
vibration. Any damage should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre.
BRUSHCUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Be sure that the blade is properly installed and securely
fastened. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
■ Do not walk backwards when using the product. Walk,
never run.
■ Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
of debris.
■ Before each use and after any impact, check that there
are no damaged parts on the product. Examine the
cutting means for signs of cracking or other damage. A
defective switch or any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service
centre.
■ Do not modify the product in any way. This may
increase the risk of injury to yourself or others.
■ Never operate the product without the cutting
attachment guard in place and in good condition.
■ Use heavy-duty gloves while installing or removing the
blades. The blades have sharp edges.
■ Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
■ A moving blade can cause severe injury. Maintain
proper control of the product with both hands until the
blade has completely stopped rotating.
■ Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always
make sure that the blade is installed correctly and
securely fastened before each use.
■ Use only the manufacturer’s pointed brushcutter blade
replacement. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
■ Never cut any material that is over 13 mm in diameter.
■ The product is fitted with a harness. Carefully adjust
the harness to fit comfortably and help to support the
weight of the product at your right side.
■ Identify the quick-release mechanism and practice
using it before you start using the product. The correct
use of the quick-release mechanism may prevent
serious injury in case of an emergency. Never wear
additional clothing over the harness or restrict access
to the quick-release mechanism.
■ Cover the blade with the blade protector before storing
the product or during transportation. Always remove
the blade protector before using the product. If not
removed, the blade protector could become a thrown
object as the blade begins to turn.
■ Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with
the product. 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 product away from the
object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough
to cause the operator to lose control of the product.
Blade thrust may 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 that an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimise the blade thrust reaction. Both
hands must be used at all times to control the product.
