- While using metal cutting tools, there is
generally a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a solid
obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby,
the tool is hurled backwards against the rotating
direction.
- To cut rank growth and brushwood, you
"immerse" the cutting blade from the top.
CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this
working technique, because the further away the
cutting tool is from the ground, the higher is the
risk that objects to be cut and particles will be
hurled sideways.
- To comb through young tree populations and
to cut grass, move the tool like a scythe closely
above the ground.
CAUTION: Incorrect use and misuse can damage
the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because
of pieces hurled away.
- To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the
cutting blade, take note of following points:
- Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is
larger than 2 cm.
- Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
- Periodically check the cutting blade for
damages.
Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
- When the cutting blade becomes apparently
blunt, it must be sharpened according to
instructions.
When the cutting blade is apparently out of
balance, it must be replaced.
- The design of the petrol brush cutter allows for
operation only at the right side of the user's body.
- Always use both hands to hold the handles of
the petrol cutting blade.
- Use your right hand to hold the operating
handle, and your left hand to hold the handle of
the handle tube.
- Always keep in mind that the cutting tool keeps
rotating for a short while after the throttle control
was released.
- Always ensure a proper idle running of the
engine so that the cutting tool will no longer
rotate, when the throttle control is pressed.
- Always use the highest speed for work, this way
you will achieve the best cutting result.
If you hit a stone or tree during work, switch off
the engine and inspect the petrol brush cutter for
damages.
Caution: When working in a difficult surrounding
and on slopes, always stand below the cutting
head.
Always wear safety goggles and ear protection,
and a safety helmet during work in a forest.
- The use of metal cutting tools is basically a risk
of a kickback if the tool hits on an obstacle (rocks,
trees, branches, etc.). The device is thrown back
against the direction of rotation.
CAUTION: Misuse and abuse can damage the
brush blade and cause serious injury from thrown
objects.
- To reduce the risk of accidents by brush blade,
note the following points:
- Never cut shrubs or woods with more than 2 cm
in diameter
- Avoid contact with metal objects, stones, etc.
- Check the brush blade regularly for damage.
Never use damaged brush blade.
- If appreciable blunting of the brush cutting
blade must be sharpened as prescribed by
a qualified practitioner. With the noticeable
imbalance brush blade must be replaced.
