GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAFETY
To protect the eyes from loose objects that could be thrown from the brush cutter, always wear eye
protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating the brush cutter.
Use only genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts for this product. Failure to do so may cause poor
fit, poor function and possible injury.
Scarfs, neckties, jewelry, jackets or other loose clothing and accessories should be avoided as they
can be caught on or become entangled in the brush cutter. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level. To
protect your legs and feet, long pants and closed toed shoes should be worn.
To improve your grip and protect your hands, wear heavy-duty nonslip gloves.
The sound level exceeds 85 dB(A). To prevent hearing damage, always wear sound barriers (ear plugs
or ear mufflers).
GENERAL BRUSH CUTTER SAFETY
Never operate the brush cutter with a damaged guard or without the guard in place.
Avoid getting into direct contact with the brush cutter blade.
Always remember to keep both hands on the control handles when the engine is running.
Do not operate the brush cutter if there is a fuel leak as it is a fire hazard. The fuel leak must be fixed
prior to operating the brush cutter.
Empty the fuel tank before storing if the brush cutter will not be used for a few days.
Make sure the control handles have not accumulated oil and fuel and are clean and dry.
Beware of blade kickback:
- Blade kickback may occur when the spinning blade contacts an object that it does not immediately
cut.
- Blade kickback can be violent enough to cause the unit and/or operator to be propelled in any
direction, and possibly lose control of the unit.
- Blade kickback can occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds.
- Blade kickback is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the brush or vegetation being
cut.
A coasting blade can cause injury while it continues to spin after the engine is stopped or throttle
trigger is released. Maintain proper control until the blade has completely stopped rotating.
See Operator’s Manual for additional safety precautions.
WORK AREA
Operate only in well ventilated areas.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Mix and handle fuel in a container approved
for storing gasoline. Wipe the brush cutter dry if fuel is spilled on it. Always move away from the fueling
area before starting the engine.
Fuel the brush cutter at least 10 ft. (3 m) from the place where you start the engine and operate the
brush cutter.
NOTE:
The brush cutter blade will rotate during carburetor adjustment. Wear protective equipment and
observe all safety instructions.
