Hyundai HYBCF31 Brush Cutter & Grass Trimmer
On the other hand, the user should not keep the engine speed at maximum speed after cutting. Any prolonged use
at the highest speed is likely to reduce lifespan of engine.
Cut the grass from right to left.
Always take care to maintain a well balanced and secure position.
Wear the harness as illustrated in the
ure. The blade turns anti-clockwise, so it is advised to use the
unit from right to left to make an e ective cut. Ensure the people present are at least 15 meters away.
CAUTION!
In an emergency, stop the engine by moving the engine switch to the stop position.
If the cutter accessory strikes stone or other debris, stop the engine and check whether something has
been damaged and the cutter attachment is still secure.
If wet grass or branches remain in the cutter attachment, stop the engine and remove them.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating blade. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating blade which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if a blade is snagged or pinched by the stone, the edge of the blade that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the blade to climb out or kick out. The blade may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the blade’s movement at the point of
pinching.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
A)
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
B)
Never place your hand near the rotating blade.
The blade may kickback over your hand.
C)
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the blade’s movement at the point of snagging.
D)
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating blade and cause loss of control or
kickback.
Extending the cutting line
To extend the cutting line run the motor at full speed and tap the cutting head on the ground. This will
automatically extend the line. The cord cutter (23) under the cutting attachment guard (7) will cut the line
to the appropriate length.
