Using A Brushcutter Blade 

13

OPERATION

 WARNING!

  Before working with a blade-

equipped unit, always inspect 

and clean the area of objects 

that could interfere with or 

damage the blade.

  Never use a blade near side-

walks, fence posts, buildings or 

other objects that could cause 

injury or damage.

  Never use a blade for purposes 

other than those for which it 

was designed.

  Whenever you strike a hard ob-

ject with a blade, always stop 

the brushcutter and carefully 

inspect the blade for damage. 

NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT 

WITH A DAMAGED BLADE!

  A blade-equipped unit 

must 

be 

equipped with a bicycle-type 

handlebar or barrier as well as 

a harness or strap.

  Always make sure the cutting 

attachment shield is properly 

installed before operating the 

unit.

Blade Thrust

‘Blade thrust’  is a sudden sideways or 

backward motion of the brushcutter. 

Such motion may occur when the 

blade jams or catches on an object 

such as a sapling tree or tree stump. 

BE CONSTANTLY ALERT FOR 

BLADE THRUST AND GUARD 

AGAINST ITS EFFECTS! 

Barrier Bar

A brushcutter’s barrier bar helps 

prevent the operator from moving 

forward, or the unit moving rearward, 

thus preventing inadvertent bodily 

contact with the blade. ALWAYS 

KEEP THE BARRIER BAR SECURE-

LY IN PLACE ON THE UNIT!

Shoulder Strap or Harness

A shoulder strap or harness provides 

additional protection against blade 

thrust. In addition, a shoulder strap 

or  harness gives significant support 

and comfort to help ensure safe and 

efficient operation.

When operating a unit equiped with 

a blade, make sure both the handle/

barrier bar and shoulder strap or 

harness are adjusted to the size of the 

operator using the unit.

The blade rotates counter-clock-

wise. For best performance 

and to minimize being struck 

by debris, move the blade from 

right to left while advancing on 

your work.

Position the blade so cuts are 

made between the blade’s 8 

o’clock and 10 o’clock positions 

(as viewed from above). DO 

NOT cut between the 10 o’clock 

and 5 o’clock positions (shaded 

area). See Figure 9.
