There are many different types of blades, however the two most commonly used are the following.
BRUSHBLADE is used for cutting brush and weeds up to 3/4” in diameter. Only a 255mm 3-blade can
be used in this type of brush cutter, SAWBLADE is used for cutting growth
from 3/4” to 3” in diameter.
WARNING / DANGER
Use the shoulder harness at all times. Adjust both harness and harness clamp on the unit so that the
unit hangs a few inches above ground level. The cutting head and the debris shield should be level in all
directions. Harness the unit on the right side of your body.
WARNING / DANGER
Do not use a Brush Cutter for cutting trees.
WARNING / DANGER
Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged metal blade. Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions
such as boulders, metal stakes or strands of wire from broken fences. If an obstruction cannot be
removed, mark its location so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and metal will dull or damage a
blade. Wires can catch on the blade head and flap around or be thrown into the air.
WARNING / DANGER
Ensure your Brush Cutter blade does not touch type of objects such as:
• Utility Wires
• Metal Stakes
• Rubber
• Rocks
• Masonry • Fences
NOTE
Do not use a brush blade to cut trees which exceed a diameter of (13 - 19mm).
Scything
Scything can be done in both directions, or just in one way which results in the debris being thrown
away from you. One way which results in the debris being thrown away from you. That is using the side
of the blade that it is rotating away from you. Tilt down the blade slightly on this same side.
You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both directions SAWING This must be done with a saw
blade when the weeds are too thick and strong for scything. If kickback occurs, the blade may be dull, or
the material so thick and hard that you should use a saw blade instead of the brush blade.
Growth up to 3-inches (76mm) in diameter, which is too thick for scything, may be cut by sawing.
Sawing requires judgment on your part whether to cut on the side where the blade pulls away from you
but throws back the debris, or on the side where the debris is thrown away from you but the reaction is
push which could become a kick out (blade thrust).
Always cut on the side of the tree which will cause the tree to fall away from the unit. A kick out or bind
may result if the tree falls toward the unit and pinches the blade
Do not force the blade to cut. Do not change the angle of cut after into the wood. Avoid using any
pressure or leverage which could cause the blade to bind or crack.
