Working behavior / Method of working
-
Use the brushcutter only in good light and visibility. During
the winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and
snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.
-
Never cut above your shoulder height.
-
Never stand on a ladder and run the brushcutter.
-
Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operations with
the brushcutter.
-
Never work on unstable surfaces.
-
Clear the working area of any foreign objects such as stones.
Foreign particles can rebound (danger of injury, 14), damage
the cutting tool and cause dangerous kickbacks.
-
Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have
reached full working speed.
Applications for cutting tools
Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand (15)!
2-line trimmer head:
Exclusively for cutting along walls, fences, grass edges, trees,
posts etc. (supplementing the lawn mower).
8-tooth eddy blade, 4-tooth star blade and steel bush
cutter:
For cutting thicker materials like weeds, tall grass, bushes,
shrubs, mixed growth, thickets, etc. with stems up to 2 cm (3/4")
thick. Perform this cutting work by swinging the brushcutter
evenly in half-circles from left to right (similar to a scythe).
Transport
-
When transporting the equipment or moving to another
working location, the brushcutter must be switched off in
order to avoid unintentionally starting the cutting tool.
-
Never carry and transport the brushcutter when the cutting
tool is in operation!
-
The tool protection included with the equipment must
always be used if the brushcutter is transported over longer
distances.
-
Ensure that the brushcutter is safely secured so that no fuel
can run out before transporting it in a vehicle.
-
Before shipping the brushcutter, completely empty the fuel
tank.
