Avoid Noise Problems
Check and follow the local regulations for sound levels and hours of operation for garden
machinery.
In general, operate Brushcutters between 8 am and 5 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 5 pm at
weekends.
Avoid using the Brushcutter late at night and/or early in the morning.
Safety when using the Brushcutter
When using the Brushcutter, grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart
so your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always maintain a steady even posture
while working.
• Maintain full engine speed when cutting.
• Never allow other persons to come within the work area as doing so might expose
them to danger.
• Keep work area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Injury may
result from flying debris.
• If grass or other objects get caught in the Brushcutter during operation, always stop
the engine before removing the object.
• Never touch the spark plug or plug HT cable while the engine is in
operation, doing so may result in an electrical shock.
• Never touch the exhaust, spark plug, or any metallic parts while the
engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down the engine.
These parts reach high temperatures during operation and doing so
could result in serious burns.
• When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue work in another area, stop
the engine.
• Always remove fuel from the fuel tank before transportation to prevent fuel spillage.
• Never leave the Brushcutter exposed to direct sunlight as this can heat the fuel tank
and may cause a discharge of fuel, and flood the engine.
• Be careful not to hit the nylon cutting head against stones or the ground.
