object. Kick-back can be very sudden and
without warning when the blade encounters
an obstacle or jams, and it can be so powerful
that you could loose control of the brush
cutter. There is a greater risk of kick-back when
working in situations where it is difficult to see
exactly what the material contains. It is easier
and safer to work from left to right. Kick-back
resulting from the blade hitting an obstacle
will be not be as severe.
•
Always use the harness strap and adjust it
so that it fits firmly and comfortably. Hold
the machine with both hands in a firm grip
when using it. Keep your hands and the rest
of your body away from the clearing blade
and always keep the blade 75 centimetres
above the ground.
•
If the machine has a centrifugal clutch,
check at regular intervals that the blade
stops rotating when the engine is idling.
•
Pay attention to the risk of fire and ensure
there is good ventilation – keep the engine at
least 1 metre from other equipment, buildings
and installations when working. Do not place
any flammable objects near the engine.
•
Keep unauthorised persons, especially
children, and pets away from the workplace.
•
Make sure that in risk or emergency
situations you can quickly stop the engine
and that you understand and know how to
use the controls on the machine.
Fuel
•
Petrol is highly flammable and in some
situations explosive.
•
Handle and fill up with fuel outdoors or in a
well ventilated area, with the engine
switched off and at a safe distance from
sparks and naked flames. Never store fuel
where there can be naked flames, e.g.
smoking or sparks.
•
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Check after
filling that the filler cap is properly fitted.
•
Avoid spilling fuel. Spilled fuel and fumes
from spilled fuel can easily ignite. Wipe up
any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

engine does not switch off. Check at regular
intervals whether the blade or trimmer
head stops when the engine is idling.
