Holding and Controlling the Unit
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Carry the powerhead on your back. To
reduce the risk of injury, put the
powerhead on your back only after
starting and making sure the cutting tool
is not rotating.
Always hold the drive tube firmly
with
both hands on the handles
– right
hand on control handle and left hand on
loop handle – and always keep the drive
tube on the right side of your body.
In an emergency, throw off the
brushcutter
by opening the quick-
release fastener on the waist strap and
slipping out of the shoulder straps.
Before using the brushcutter for the first
time, practise opening the quick-release
fastener several times so that you know
how it works
During Operation
In the event of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the engine
immediately – move the slide control /
stop switch to
0
or
d
.
In order to reduce the risk of injury to
bystanders from thrown objects, always
keep bystanders 15 meters away from
your own position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
Make sure the idle speed setting is
correct. The cutting tool must not rotate
when the engine is idling with the throttle
trigger released.
Check and correct the idle speed setting
at regular intervals. If the cutting tool still
rotates, have your dealer check your
brushcutter and make proper
adjustments or repairs.
