– Use the brushcutter and the tools only for such applications as specified.
– Only start the engine, after the entire assembly is done. Operation of the device is
only permitted after all the appropriate accessories are attached!
– Before starting make sure that the cutting tool has no contact with hard objects
such as branches, stones etc. as the cutting tool will revolve when starting.
– The engine is to be switched off immediately in case of any engine problems.
– Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard objects, immediately switch off the
engine and inspect the cutting tool.
– Inspect the cutting tool at short regular intervals for damage (detection of hairline
cracks by means of tapping-noise test).
– If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition before continuing
work. Check the fuel system for fuel leakage and the controls and safety devices for malfunction. If there is any damage or doubt, ask our
authorized service center for the inspection and repair.
– Operate the equipment only with the shoulder harness attached which is to be suitably adjusted before putting the brushcutter into
operation. It is essential to adjust the shoulder harness according to the user size to prevent fatigue occurring during use. Never hold the
cutter with one hand during use.
– During operation always hold the brushcutter with both hands. Always ensure a safe footing.
– Operate the equipment in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of the exhaust gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (risk of gas
poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas.
– Switch off the engine when resting and when leaving the equipment unattended, and place it in a safe location to prevent danger to others
or damage to the machine.
– Never put the hot brushcutter onto dry grass or onto any combustible materials.
– Always install the approved cutting tool guard onto the equipment before starting the engine. Otherwise contact with the cutting tool may
cause serious injury.
– All protective installations and guards supplied with the machine must be used during operation.
– Never operate the engine with faulty exhaust muffler.
– Shut off the engine during transport.
– When transporting the equipment, always attach the cover to the metal blade.
– Ensure safe position of the equipment during car transportation to avoid fuel leakage.
– When transporting, ensure that the fuel tank is completely empty.
– When unloading the equipment from the truck, never drop the Engine to the ground or this may severely damage the fuel tank.
– Except in case of emergency, never drop or cast the equipment to the ground or this may severely damage the equipment.
– Remember to lift the entire equipment from the ground when moving the equipment. Dragging the fuel tank is highly dangerous and will
cause damage and leakage of fuel, possibly causing fire.
Refueling
– Shut off the engine during refueling, keep away from open flames and do not smoke.
– Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not inhale fuel vapor. Always wear protective gloves during refueling. Change and clean
protective clothing at regular intervals.
– Take care not to spill either fuel or oil in order to prevent soil contamination (environmental protection). Clean the brushcutter immediately
after fuel has been spilt.
– Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing instantly if fuel has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching fire).
– Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely fastened and does not leak.
– Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at least 3 meters away from the place of refueling).
– Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground lever (risk of explosions). – Only transport and store fuel in approved
containers. Make sure the fuel stored is not accessible to children.
Method of operation
– Only use in good light and visibility. During the winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice
snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.
– Never cut above waist height.
– Never stand on a ladder.
– Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operation.
– Never work on unstable surfaces.
– Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range. Foreign particles may damage
cutting tool and can cause dangerous kick-backs.
– Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached full working speed.
– When using metal blades, swing the tool evenly in half-circle from right to left, like using a scythe. If grass or branches get caught
between the cutting tool and guard, always stop the engine before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional blade rotation may cause serious
injury.
– Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
Cutting Tools
– Use an applicable cutting tool for the job in hand.
