ASSEMBLY, cont’d
Operating the Brushcutter:
•
Operate
the
th
r
ottle trigger
with
your
right hand and
hold the barrier handle with your
left
hand.
•
Always k
eep a firm grip with both hands during operation.
•
The brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip
height. Adjust the harness to suit.
• Maintain a firm footing in case the machine hits a solid object and kicks back.
•
Do not use the brushcutter near fencing, posts, buildings or other immoveable objects -
use the line trimmer attachment.
•
Best results are obtained if you cut from right to left in a broad sweeping action.
•
If a hard object is hit, stop the machine and inspect for any damage straight away.
• Never attempt to sharpen the blade. It is reversible so should be turned over when blunt.
The blade must remain balanced. Always check for any damage before use and replace
a damaged blade immediately.
To avoid burns from the hot engine, never operate the unit with the bottom of the
en
gine above waist level
or on the operator's left side
.
Always position the unit on the
user's right side.
