7.13 When clearing a wide area, start working from your left and work towards the right to
avoid the interference of cut grass.
7.14 The blade may be clogged by weeds if the engine speed is too low, or if the blade
cuts too deeply into the weeds.
Adjust the engine speed and cutting depth according to the depth of object.
7.15 Avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your left to right.
7.16 Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth.
The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material being cut.
Heavy growth will require a slower action than light growth.
7.17 Never swing the machine hard as to lose your balance.
7.18 Try to control the cutting motion with your hips rather than placing the full workload
on your arms or hands.
7.19 Make sure the harness adjustment is correct.
7.20 Ensure the area to be cleared is free of debris, wire and any other materials that may
wrap around the brush cutter head.
Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip resulting in damage to
the clutch.
