The ABC of clearing

• Always use the correct equipment.

• Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.

• Follow the safety precautions.

• Organise your work carefully.

• Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the

blade.

• Always use sharp blades.

• Avoid stones.

• Control the felling direction (take advantage of the

wind).

Working methods

• Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the

type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there

are stones, hollows etc.

• Start at whichever end of the area is easiest, and clear

an open space from which to work.

• Work systematically to and fro across the area,

clearing a width of around 4-5 m on each pass. This

exploits the full reach of the machine in both directions

and gives the operator a convenient and varied

working area to work in.

• Clear a strip around 75 m long. Move your fuel can as

work progresses.

• On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It

is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work

up and down it.

• You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over

ditches or other obstacles on the ground. You should

also orient the strip to take advantage of wind

conditions, so that cleared stems fall in the cleared

area of the stand.

WARNING! Neither the operator of the

machine nor anyone else may attempt to

remove the cut material while the engine

is running or the cutting equipment is

rotating, as this can result in serious

injury.

Stop the engine and cutting equipment

before you remove material that has

wound around the blade shaft as

otherwise there is a risk of injury. The

bevel gear can get hot during use and

may remain so for a while afterwards. You

could get burnt if you touch it.

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.

Always wear approved eye protection.

Never lean over the cutting attachment

guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be

thrown up into the eyes causing

blindness or serious injury.

Keep unauthorised persons at a

distance. Children, animals, onlookers

and helpers should be kept outside the

safety zone of 15 metres. Stop the

machine immediately if anyone

approaches. Never swing the machine

around without ﬁrst checking behind you

to make sure no-one is within the safety

zone.

WARNING! Sometimes branches or

grass get caught between the guard and

cutting attachment. Always stop the

engine before cleaning.

WARNING! Machines ﬁtted with saw

blades or grass blades can be thrown

violently to the side when the blade

comes into contact with a ﬁxed object.

This is called blade thrust. A blade thrust

can be violent enough to cause the

machine and/or operator to be propelled

in any direction, and possibly lose

control of the machine. Blade thrust can

occur without warning if the machine

snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is

more likely to occur in areas where it is

difﬁcult to see the material being cut.

Avoid cutting with the area of the blade

between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock

positions. Because of the speed of

rotation of the blade, blade thrust can

occur if you attempt to cut thick stems

with this area of the blade.
