Using the blade
1. Keep blade in dense grass or weeds when stopping engine until rotation has ceased.
2. Always hold machine securely in both hands.
3. Do not use if screen is incorrectly fitted and in poor condition.
4. Always stop engine before removing any materials stuck in blade.
5. Never attempt to touch or stop blade while it is rotating.
6. A rotating blade can cause injury, as it will continue to rotate after the engine is stopped
or gas regulator activated. Always maintain control over the machine until blade stops
completely.
7. Always ensure blade is correctly fitted before use.
8. Always use a sharp blade. Replace damaged or worn blades.
9. Use original spare parts only.
10. Use blade only for weeds, grass and the like.
11. Kickback is a reaction that can occur when a rotating blade comes into contact with
something it cannot cut. This can cause the blade to stop for a moment, causing the
machine to recoil from the object it hit. This reaction can be so violent that control over
the machine can be lost. Kickback can occur without warning if the blade gets stuck,
loses speed or is impaired. This is more likely to occur in areas where it can be hard to
see the material to be cut.
12. Always ensure strap is properly adjusted.
13. Maintain a firm grip on both handles while blade is in use. Keep blade away from body
and under waist height.
