Before you start working
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual
and are not familiarized with how to operate the brush
cutter must not use it.
Pay attention to the area where the appliance will be
used and check for potential obstacles (rocks, tree
stumps, roots, ditches), objects (coiled wires, metal
parts) or loose stones. In case it is not possible to
remove these objects or obstacles, mark them so that
they do not come into contact with the cutting
attachments when using the equipment.
Before starting the brush cutter:
▪ Carry out an inspection to ensure correct assembly of
the split brush cutter, safety issues and good
performance of the appliance;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and function properly. Never use the power tool if
the safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or
worn out;
▪ Check that the shoulder harness and attachments are
in perfect condition and properly assembled;
▪ Replace defective parts, as all other worn and
damaged ones;
▪ After the attachments assembly and before using the
power tool, test it at full speed with no load for a
while. Check for moving parts misalignment or any
other condition that may affect the brush cutter
operation. Check that all moving parts run smoothly,
without abnormal noises;
▪ Carry out all the necessary adjustments and work. If
you have any questions or difficulties, contact your
official VITO distributor.

While operating
Keep third parties at least 15m away from the
cordless split brush cutter area of operation. Never
work while animals or people, especially children, are in
the danger zone. When using a brush cutter, particles
can be ejected at high speed which can cause injury.
Also keep a safe distance from objects (vehicles and
glass) in order to avoid material damage.
When two or more people are working simultaneously
in the same area from each other, they must keep a safe
distance in order to prevent accidents and injuries.
Work only in daylight or with good artificial lighting. Do
not operate the cordless split brush cutter at night or
when it is not possible to have a clear view of the work
area.
Never work with the brush cutter when adverse
meteorological conditions such as dense fog, rain or
strong wind, storms or lightning.
Walk, never run during operation and look carefully to
the area where you will use the blade and the nylon line.
You should also never cut the grass walking backwards
as you could stumble.
While using the appliance, place yourself into a stable
position and keep balance. Do not use the appliance in
slippery, irregular or unstable surfaces, or in a lumpy
terrain.
Keep all your body parts away from the cutting
attachment while using the brush cutter.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves, helmet and shin guards properly reduces the risk
of injury.
Clothing worn during the appliance operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
