Brush cutter and Grass trimmer
•
When the engine is stopped the rotating blade must be held in grass or bush until it holds still.
•
Always hold the machine with both hands.
•
The machine must not be used if the safety guard is not correctly fitted and in mint condition.
•
Always stop the engine before attempting to remove objects that may have stuck on the blade.
•
Never touch or try to stop the blade while it is still spinning.
•
A rotating blade may cause damage, as it continues to spin after the engine has stopped or the gas
has been turned off. Always be in control of the tool until the blade has stopped spinning.
•
Always make sure that the blade is mounted securely and correctly before every time it is used.
•
Only use a sharp blade. Replace blades that are worn or damaged.
•
Only use original spare parts.
•
Only use the blade for weeds, grass and similar.
•
Kickback is something that may occur when the rotating blade gets into contact with something, it
cannot cut. This contact may have the effect, that the blade stops for a moment, and suddenly the
tool is thrown away from the hard object that was hitting. This reaction may be so violent that the
user loses control of the tool. Kickback may occur without warning if the blade is stuck, loses speed
or impeded. This is most likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material that is being cut.
•
The harness must always be used and adjusted to fit in the correct manner.
•
Keep a firm grip on both handles while the blade is running. Keep the blade away from your body
and below your waist.
