3.2.4- Notes on starting the engine
1. Take a careful look around to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15m or less
around the brush cutter.
2. Place the body of the brush cutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place
so as to ensure that neither the blades / nylon wire nor the throttle come into contact with any
obstacles when the engine starts up.
3. Place the throttle into the idling position when starting the engine.
4. After starting up the engine, if the blades continue to rotate even after the throttle has been
moved fully back, turn off the engine and check the throttle wire and other parts.
3.2.5- Kickback safety precautions
A dangerous reaction may occur when the spinning blade contacts a solid object in the critical area.
It is called kickback. As a result, the operator can lose control of the unit, which can cause serious
or fatal injury. Avoid kickback; observe the safety precautions below strictly.
1. Before beginning work, clear your working area and remove grasses around the obstacles.
2. When using your brush cutter, do no grip other parts except the handles.
3. When using your brush cutter, never take your eyes off, even if you need to place the throttle into
the idling position.
4. When using your brush cutter, do not let the unit get closer to your feet nor raise the unit above
your waist
3.2.6- Notes on transportation
1. Make sure the appropriate blade cover is in place.
2. When transporting by car, fix the unit firmly using a rope.
Do not transport by bicycle or motorcycle as it is dangerous.
3. Never transport the brush cutter over rough roads over long distances without first removing all
fuel from the fuel tank, as doing so might cause fuel to leak from the tank.
3.2.7- Operation safety precautions
1. Grip the handles of the brush cutter firmly with both hands.
If you suspend the work, place the throttle into the idling position.
2. Always be sure to maintain a steady, even posture while working,
3. Maintain the speed of the engine at the level required to perform cutting work, and never raise
the speed of the engine above the level necessary.
4. If the grass gets caught in the blade during operation, or if you need to check the unit or refuel
the tank, always be sure to turn off the engine.
5. If the blade touches a hard object like a stone, immediately stop the engine and check if
something is wrong with the blade. If so, replace the blade by new one.
6. If someone calls out white working, always be sure to turn off the
engine before turning around
7. Never touch the spark plug or plug cord while the engine is in
operation. Doing so may result in being subjected to an electrical shock.
8. Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other metallic parts of the
engine white the engine is in operation or immediately after shutting down
the engine. Doing so may result in serious burns.
9. When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue work in another spot, turn off the
engine and turn the unit with the blade facing away from your body.
3.2.8- Maintenance safety precaution
1. Perform the maintenance and checking operations described in this manual at regular intervals, if
