• Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires gloves, protective shoes,
eye or face protection, dust mask, ear defenders, hard hat, and sturdy clothing
• Assess your own physical condition. Using a brush cutter or line strimmer, even a smaller model,
is physically demanding. Do not start a job unless you are confident that you are fit and strong
enough to complete it. Never use a brush cutter/line strimmer when tired, unwell, or under the
influence of any kind of drugs or alcohol

work

trip hazards

cutting accessory is highly dangerous
• Never pass arms or legs near to the blade when cutting. Always stand in a stable position, well
back from the cutting area
• If the brush cutter jams, switch off immediately. Allow the engine to completely stop before
attempting to clear jammed material

brush cutter may be thrown back towards the user. Correct use and regular maintenance will
significantly reduce the chance of kickback occurring
