To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the
brush knife down onto the growth to
achieve a shredding effect – always
keep the cutting attachment below hip
level during this process.
Exercise extreme caution when using
this method of cutting. The higher the
cutting attachment is off the ground, the
greater the risk of injury from cuttings
being thrown sideways.

to take the following precautions:
Avoid contact with stones, rocks,
