BRUSHCUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
In addition to the above rules, these
additional instructions are appropriate
when using the product in brushcutter
mode.
■
Use heavy-duty gloves while installing or
removing blades, they 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 machine with
both hands until the blade has completely
stopped rotating.
■
Replace any blade that has been damaged.
Always make sure blade is installed
correctly and securely fastened before
each use.
■
Use only the manufacturer’s replacement
Tri-Arc blade. Do not use any other cutting
attachment.
■
Never cut any material over 13 mm
diameter.
■
Your brushcutter is fitted with a harness.
Carefully adjust the harness to fit
comfortably and help to support the weight
of the machine at your right side.
■
Identify the Quick Release mechanism
and practice using it before you start using
the product. Its correct use may prevent
serious injury in case of an emergency.
Never wear additional clothing over the
harness or otherwise that restrict access to
the quick release mechanism.
■
Cover the blade with the blade protector
before storing the unit, or during
transportation. Always remove the blade
protector before using the unit. 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 this 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 unit away
from the object that was hit. This reaction
can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. 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 minimize the blade thrust reaction.
Both hands must be used at all times to
control this product.

Stop the product and allow it to cool before
storing or transporting.

■
If a cutting blade is fitted, cover it with the
