Kickback
During operation the brushcutter can kickback in an uncon-
trolled manner. This can happen when the cutting blade (4-
tooth star blade) comes into contact with hard objects such
as stumps, fenceposts, tree trunks, woody brush or large
rocks.
This can ing the brushcutter to one side with great force and
speed (injury hazard).
To avoid kickback, observe the following:
- Remove foreign objects from the cutting area and be aware of
plants and objects in the area.
- The cutting tool must be turning at full speed before starting
cuts.
- The danger of kickback is heightened in the darkened area
(illustration), especially if using a metal cutting tool!
Working behavior / Method of working
- Use the brushcutter only in good light and visibility. During the
winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow
(risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.
- Never cut above your shoulder height.
- Never stand on a ladder and run the brushcutter.
- Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operations with
the brushcutter.
- Never work on unstable surfaces.
- Make sure the cutting area is free of foreign objects such as
stones and metal items. Foreign particles can rebound (danger
of injury, 12), damage the cutting tool and cause dangerous
kickbacks.
- Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached
full working speed.
Applications for cutting tools
Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand! Do not use
tools for jobs they are not designed for.
2-line trimmer head (13)
Only for cutting up against walls, fences, trees, posts etc. and at
lawn edges (as an adjunct to a lawnmower).
4-tooth star blade (14)
For cutting grass or heavy weeds. Perform this cutting work by
swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from left to right
(15, similar to a scythe).
Transport
- When transporting the equipment or moving to another
working location, the brushcutter must be switched off in
order to avoid unintentionally starting the cutting tool.
- Never transport the brushcutter when the cutting tool is
in operation!
- The tool protection included with the equipment must always be
used if the brushcutter is transported over longer distances.
- Ensure that the brushcutter is safely secured so that no fuel
can run out before transporting it in a vehicle. Empty the fuel
tank before transporting the brushcutter.
- Before shipping the brushcutter, completely empty the fuel
tank.
Caution: Kickback!
