Operating the brush cutter (fi g. 11)
Hold the brush cutter with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a
GB
fi rm grip with both hands while in operation. Brush cut-
ter should be held a comfortable position yourself so
that you will not be drawn off balance by the kick-back
reaction of the cutting blade.
Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brush cutter at
a comfortable operation 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 contracts 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 diffi cult 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 unex-
pected object or woody stock is encountered, this could
minimize the blade thrust reaction.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is not live when carry-
ing out maintenance work on the motor!
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
prefe rably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots
free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off
use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use
solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc.
These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please
contact your local SBM Group dealer.
