Method of operation
– Only use the Brush Cutter/String Trimmer in good light and visibility. During
the winter season, beware of slippery or wet areas such as icy or snow-
covered areas (risk of slipping). Always ensure you are on safe footing.
– Never cut above waist height.
– Never stand on a ladder while using the Brush Cutter/String Trimmer.
– Never climb up into trees to use with the Brush Cutter/String Trimmer.
– Never work on unstable surfaces.
– Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range.
Foreign objects may damage the cutting tool and can cause dangerous kick-
backs.
– Before starting to cut, make sure the cutting tool has reached full working
speed.
Kickback
– When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickbacks may occur.
– Kickbacks occur frequently when attempting to cut with the 12 to 2 o'clock
section of the blade.
– Never apply the 12 to 2 o'clock section of the brush cutter blade.
– Never apply this section of the brush cutter blade to solid objects, such as
bushes or trees etc. that have a diameter greater than 3cm. Doing so will
cause 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:
– Using the 12 to 2 o'clock section of the blade is extremely hazardous,
especially when using metal cutting tools.
– Cutting operations using the 11 to 12 o'clock section and 2 to 5 o'clock section
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
Ensure you use the correct cutting tool for each particular job.
DBC260U with cutter blade (Star Blade (4 teeth), Eddy Blade (8 teeth)),
DBC260L with Nylon cutting head.
For cutting thick materials such as weed, high grass, bushes, shrubs,
underwood, thicket etc. (max. 2 cm dia. thickness). Perform this cutting work by
swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from right to left (in a similar way
to using a scythe).
Maintenance instructions
– Always check the condition of the cutter, in particular the cutter protective
devices and shoulder strap, before commencing work. Particular attention
should also be paid to the cutting blades, which must be correctly sharpened.
– Turn off the engine and remove the spark plug connector when replacing or
sharpening cutting tools, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting tool.
