OPERATION
by the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.
Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brushcutter at
a comfortable operating position and to assure that the
shoulder strap will reduce the risk of operator contact
with the blade.
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this unit.
Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the
spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This
contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and
suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object that was hit.
This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may
occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds.
This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to
see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety,
approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left.
In the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this could minimise the blade thrust reaction.
BLADE
The blade is suited only for pulpy weeds and vines. When
the blade becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend
the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the blade.
CUTTING TECHNIQUE - BLADE
WARNING
Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure safe operation. Read the safety
information for safe operation using the blade,
refer to "Specific Safety Rules for Brushcutter
and Blade Use" earlier in this manual.
Always hold brushcutter with both hands when
operating. Use a firm grip on both handles.
Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position
yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by
the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such
as glass, stones, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal,
etc.
Never use blades near footpaths, fencing, posts,
buildings or other immovable objects.
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without
first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any
damage is detected.
The unit is used as a scythe, cutting from the right to
the left in a broad sweeping action from side to side.
