d. If any fuel spillage occurs during refueling, use a dry rag to wipe up the spill before turning the engine back


THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE USING YOUR BRUSHCUTTER
a. Before beginning work, look around carefully to get a feel for the shape of the land, or grass to be
trimmed and whether or not there are any obstacles which might get in the way while working. Remove
any obstacles which can be cleared away.
b. The area within a perimeter of 15 meters of the person using the brush cutter should be considered a
hazardous area into which no one should enter while the brush cutter is in use. When necessary, a yellow warning
rope and warning signs should be placed around the work area. When work is to be performed simultaneously by
two or more persons, always check the presence and locations of others so as to maintain sufficient distance
between each person sufficient to ensure safety.
c. Make sure that there are no loose screw or bolts, fuel leaks, ruptures,
dents or any other problems which might interfere with safe operation. Be
especially careful to check that there is nothing wrong with the blades or
with the joints by which the blades are attached to the brush cutter.
d. Never use blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged in
any way.
e. Always keep the blade sharp.
f. When filing the cutting edges, keep the point sharp, but round off the
root of each tooth.
g. Check the bolt that fastens the blade and be sure the blade turns
smoothly without abnormal noise.
 NOTES ON STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Take a careful look around to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15 meters or less
around brush cutter.
2. Place the body of the brush cutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to
ensure that neither the blades nor the throttle comes into contact
with any obstacles when the engine starts up.
3. Place the throttle into the idling position when starting the
engine.
4. After starting up the engine, if the blades continue to rotate even
after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine
and check the throttle wire and other parts.
 KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
 A dangerous reaction may occur when the spinning blade contacts a solid object in the critical area. It is
called kick back. As a result, the operator can lose control of the unit, which can cause serious or fatal
