Original Instructions Version December 12
Before Operating the Brushcutter
Before beginning work, carefully check the work area and remove any obstacles. Within a perimeter of 15
metres of the work area should be considered a hazardous area into which no-one should enter while the
Brushcutter is being used, and when necessary this area should be marked with a warning rope, warning
signs, or other forms of warning.
When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more operators, care should also be taken to
constantly look around to check the presence and locations of other operators within the work area to
maintain a safe distance between each operator.
Before beginning work, each component of the Brushcutter should be checked to make sure that it is in
proper working order, make sure that there are no loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks, ruptures, dents, broken
guards or any other problems which might interfere with safe operation.
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting head when the engine is running.
Before Starting the Engine
Carefully check the work area to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15 metres around
the Brushcutter before starting the engine.
To start the engine, place the Brushcutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place to
ensure that neither the cutting head nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacles when the engine
starts.
After starting the engine, make sure that the cutting head stops moving when the throttle trigger is
released (idle). If the cutting head continues to move when the engine is at idle, adjust the idle screw on the
carburettor to a point where the cutting head stops moving, if this cannot be achieved, take the Brushcutter
to your authorised service dealer for adjustment.
