the product, or during transportation. Always remove
the blade protector before using the product. 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
the 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 product away from
the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent
enough to cause the operator to lose control of the
product. 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 an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimise the blade thrust reaction. Both
hands must be used at all times to control the product.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and
the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■
Contact with cutting means
– Ensure that the blade protectors are fitted when the
product is not in use. Keep hands and feet away from
the blades at all times.
■
Injury caused by vibration
– Always use the right tool for the job, use designated
handles, and restrict working time and exposure.
■
Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise
– Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
■
Eye injury caused by flying debris
– Wear eye protection at all times.
■
Risk of falling objects
– Wear head protection if there is any risk of falling
objects.
Kickback can occur when using the brushcutter. Ensure
proper control by using both hands on the designated
handles. Read and follow the directions elsewhere in this
manual to help reduce the risk of kickback.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching
of the
fi
ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet,
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to
the development of these symptoms. There are measures
that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the
effects of vibration:
■
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Reynaud’s Syndrome.
■
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■
Ensure that the product is correctly located in a
designated working position before operating the
product.
■
Limit the amount of exposure per day. Take frequent
work breaks.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for
prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■
Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before
storing or transporting.
■
Clean all foreign materials from the product.
■
If a cutting blade is fitted, cover it with the blade
protector.
■
Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
petrol. Remember to properly replace and tighten the
fuel cap.
■
Run the engine until it stops, this will remove all fuel
that could become stale and leave varnish and gum
in the fuel system.
■
Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from
corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-
icing salts. Do not store outdoors.
■
When transporting the product in a vehicle, secure
it against movement or falling to prevent injury to
persons or damage to the product.
■
Never carry or transport the product while the engine
