Method of operation

–Use the brush cutter only in good light and visibility. During cold

seasons beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow (risk

of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.

–Do not overreach. Keep proper footing, balance and hand

control of the unit at all times.

–Never cut above waist level.

–Never stand on a ladder while running the brush cutter.

–never climb up into trees to perform any cutting operation with

the brush cutter.

–Never work on unstable surfaces or steep terrain.

–Remove all objects such as stones, nails, broken glass, wire,

etc. found within the working ares.

Foreign articles may damage the cutting tool, can cause

dangerous kickbacks, or could be thrown about dangerously.

–Before commencing cutting the cutting tool must have reached

full working speed.

–Never operate this tool while it is turned upside-down or when

it is at an extreme angle.

–!WARNING! — The cutter area is still dangerous while the

machine is coasting to a stop.

Kickback

–When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickback can

occur.

–This particularly is the case when attempting to cut within a

blade segment between 12 and 2 o’clock as viewed from the

operator’s position.

–Never touch this segment of the brush cutter to solid objects,

such as bushes, stumps, trees, etc., with a diameter greater

than 3 cm.

–The brush cutter will then be deflected at great force and speed

with the potential risk of serious injuries.

–Never operate the brush cutter using the blade seg-

ment between the 12 and 2 o’clock position.

Kickback prevention

To avoid kickbacks, observe the following:

–Operation within the blade segment between 12 and 2 o’clock

can cause serious potential hazards, especially when using

metal cutting blades.

Use of this brush cutter utilizing blade segment positions from

11 to 12 o’clock and 2 to 5 o’clock can still cause a likely

potential for some kickback.

–Cutting operations attempted within the blade segments

between 11 and 12 o’clock, and between 2 and 5 o’clock,

should only be performed by trained and experienced opera-

tors, and only at their own risk. Smooth and easy cutting with

almost no kickback is possible using the blade segment be-

tween 8 and 11 o’clock.

Cutting Tools

Use only the correct cutting tool for the specific job in hand.

Cutter blade (Star Blade (4 teeth), Eddy Blade (8 teeth)):

For cutting thick materials, such as weeds, 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 (similar to using a scythe).

Maintenance instructions

–The condition of the cutter, in particular of the cutter blade,

guard and of the shoulder strap must be checked before

commencing work. Particular attention is to be paid to the

cutting blades which must be correctly sharpened.

–Turn off the engine and remove spark plug connectors when

replacing or sharpening cutting blade, and also when cleaning

the cutter or cutting tool.

Caution: Kickback
