4.5 Cutting Operation
Do not allow children or animals to enter the working range of the brush cutter
(within 15m).
* Otherwise, a serious accident will happen.
The
brush cutter
must be started or operated by one person.
* If it is operated by more than one person, it could be miss-handled, and it could contact
with a person or objects, resulting in accident.
When using multiple brush cutters at the same time, each operator must be at least 15 meters away from
the others.
The following shows examples of use of the brush cutter. In the illustration, the iron blade (option) is
installed.
■ Holding Method of Brush Cutter
● Always hold the brush cutter with both hands during
operation.
To prevent accidents due to inappropriate operation,
always support the brush cutter stably during the
operation by folding as follows.
Right hand: Grip the control grip.
Left hand: Grip the loop handle.
(This also applies to left-handers.)
● Always keep the machine away from your body.
■ Operating Method
● Before starting cutting operation raise the revolution
speed of the nylon cutter to approximately 5,000
r/min. Low revolution speed makes tension of the nylon
line insufficient resulting in lowered cutting efficiency.
● While swinging your body from side to side, cut the
grasses from the right side to left side.
The cutting part rotates counterclockwise.
When a cutting part cuts some articles from the left to the
right, the cutting part turning at a high speed could touch
hard, uncuttable and heavy fixed articles such as stones,
trees, stakes and concrete, and then the cutting part
could kicked back towards unexpected directions.
● Appropriate cutting range is as follows :
Nylon cutter : Tip of the nylon line
Iron blade : Range of 2/3 from the tip
