Operator’s Manual  Sanli GTS43  

2.3 

Using the brush cutter 

 

Only  use  the  machine  in  clear  daylight  or  with  the  help  of  good  artificial 
lighting. 

 

The  use  of  powered  tools  may  be  subject  to  regulations.  Always  respect 
any legal regulations, which may vary from one location to another.  

 

Do not use the machine when the vegetation is wet or when it is raining 

 

Do  not  use  the  brush  cutter  if  you  feel  tired,  unwell,  have  consumed 
alcohol or have taken medication. A momentary lapse of attention can lead 
to serious injury. 

 

Wear  close  fitting,  comfortable  clothes  which  will  protect  you  from  flying 
debris.  Wear  long  trousers  and  sturdy,  anti-slip  shoes/boots,  as  well  as 
personal  protection  equipment  including  robust  gloves,  goggles,  a  helmet 
with visor and ear protection. 

 

The  user  is  responsible  for  the  safety  of  all  others  in  the  machine’s 
operating  area.  Keep  other  people,  children  and  animals  well  away  from 
the work area. If you are working as part of a group, keep a good distance 
from other workers and be aware that debris can be thrown long distances 
by the machine. 

 

Always keep both hands on the handles when using the brush cutter.  

 

Keep hands and feet well away from the cutting area and all moving parts. 

 

When cutting, try to avoid solid obstacles such as fences, walls, posts and 
trees 
which  cannot  be  cut  by  the  machine  and  which  might  damage  the 
cutting system. 

 

If the machine becomes snagged or jammed, stop the engine immediately. 

 

Always work in a stable, balanced and secure position. Never work on very 
steep slopes  and be especially careful when  changing  the  direction of  cut 
on slopes. 

 

Be  careful  not  to  overload  the  machine.  Always  use  the  appropriate 
machine for the work to be carried out.  

 

Guide  the  machine  across  the  work  at  walking  pace,  moving  forward 
steadily.  Never run and do not walk backwards when using the machine to 
avoid falling over. 

 

When using the machine, keep the cutting head facing downwards parallel 
to the ground and covered by the deflector guard. 

 

Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running. 

 

Never start the engine in an enclosed area or any other area where harmful 
carbon monoxide gases may accumulate.
