4. Never apply this segment of the brush cutter blade to solids objects, such as bushes or trees etc. that
have a diameter in excess than 3 cm. Doing so will cause the brush or the brush cutter to deflect with a
large amount of force, which is extremely dangerous and may cause injury.
Kickback prevention
To avoid kickbacks, remember the following:
5. Using the 12 and 2 o’clock section of the blade is extremely hazardous, especially when using metal
cutting tools.
6. Cutting operations using the 11 and 12 o’clock section and 2 to 5 o’clock of the blade must only be
performed by trained and experienced operators, and then only at their own risk.
The optimum cutting section for easy cutting with almost no kickback is between the 8 to 11 o’clock
section of the blade.
Cutting Tools
1. Use an applicable cutting tool for the job in hand. PBC 33 BH/PBC 32 B (DYM246601) with cutter
blade (3 teeth) and Nylon cutting head. Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads) are suitable for
trimming lawn grass. Metal blades are suitable for cutting weeds, high grasses, bushes, shrubs, under
wood, thicket, and the like.
2. Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and flail blades. Otherwise serious
injury may result.
3. When using metal blades, avoid “kickback” and always prepare for an accidental kickback. See the
section “Kickback” and “Kickback prevention”.
4. Perform this cutting work by swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from right to left (similar to
using a scythe).
