• The engine should be turned off when the machine
is moved between work areas.
• Be careful not to hit the nylon cutting head against
stones or the ground.
• Unreasonable rough operation will shorten the
life of the unit and potentially create an unsafe
environment for yourself and those around you.
• Pay attention to loosening and overheating of
parts. If there is any abnormality of the machine,
stop operation immediately and check the machine
carefully. If necessary, have the machine serviced
by an authorised dealer. Never continue to operate
a machine which may be malfunctioning.
• In start-up or during operation, never touch hot
parts such as the muffler, the high voltage wire or
the spark plug.
• After the engine has stopped, take caution as the
muffler is still hot. Never place the machine in any
area where there are flammable materials (dry
grass, etc.), combustible gasses or combustible
liquids.
• Pay special attention when operating your unit in
the rain or just after the rain as the ground may be
slippery.
• If you slip or fall to the ground, or into a hole,
release the throttle lever immediately.
• Be careful not to drop the machine or hit it against
obstacles.
• Before proceeding to adjust or repair the machine,
be sure to stop the engine and detach the spark
plug cap from the spark plug.
• When the machine is placed in storage for a long
time, drain fuel from the fuel tank and carburettor,
clean the parts, move the machine to a safe place
and confirm that the engine has cooled down.
• Make periodic inspections to ensure safe and
efficient operation.
• Keep the machine away from fire or sparks.
• It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s
phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certain
individuals may be brought about by exposure
to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and
cold may cause tingling and burning sensations
followed by loss of colour and numbness in the
fingers.
• The following precautions are strongly
recommended because the minimum exposure
which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
a. Keep your body warm, especially the head,
neck, feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
b. Maintain good blood circulation by performing
vigorous arm exercises during frequent work
breaks and also by not smoking.
c. Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day
with jobs where operating the Brush Cutter
or other hand-held power equipment is not
required.
d. If you experience discomfort, redness and
swelling of the fingers followed by whitening
and loss of feeling, consult your physician
before further exposing yourself to cold and
vibration.
• Always wear ear protection, loud noises for long
periods of time can make hearing debase and may
even cause loss of hearing.
• Total face and head protection must be worn to
prevent damage from falling branches.
• Wear non-slip heavy duty work gloves to improve
your grip on the Brush Cutter handle. Gloves also
reduce the transmission of machine vibration to
your hands.
• The cutter area is still dangerous while the machine
is coasting to a stop.
