Method of operation
Only use the Brush cutter/Grass trimmer 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 waist height.
Never stand on a ladder and run the Brush cutter/Grass trimmer.
Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operation with the Brush
cutter/Grass trimmer.
Never work on unstable surfaces.
Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range.
Foreign particles may damage the cutting tool and can cause dangerous
kick-backs.
Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached full working
speed.
Kickback
When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickback may occur.
This is particularly the case when attempting to cut within a blade segment
between 12 and 2 oclock.
Never apply the brush cutter within a segment between 12 and 2 oclock.
Never apply this segment of the brush cutter blade to solids, such as bushes
and trees, etc., having a diameter in excess of 3 cm or the brush cutter will be
deflected at great force with the risk of injuries.
Kickback prevention
To avoid kickbacks, observe the following:
Operation within a blade segment between 12 and 2 oclock presents positive
hazards, especially when using metal cutting tools.
Cutting operations within a blade segment between 11 and 12 oclock, and
between 2 and 5 oclock, must only be performed by trained and experienced
operators, and then only at their own risk.
Easy cutting with almost no kickback is possible within a blade segment
between 8 and 11 oclock.
Cutting Tools
Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand.
EM4340, 4340L, EM4341 with cutter blade (Star Blade (4 teeth), Eddy Blade (8
teeth)), 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 (similar to
using a scythe).
Maintenance instructions
The condition of the cutter, in particular of the cutting tool of the protective
devices and also 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 connector when replacing or
sharpening cutting tools, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting tool.
