Brush cutter - kickback causes
and how to avoid them with a
3-tooth blade
In the event of a kickback,
the operator will feel a
powerful blow from the
combination machine.
This may lead to losing
control of the device and
serious injury. You can
avoid kickbacks through
caution and proper tech-
nique.
While working with the 3- tooth
blade there is a risk of kickback
if the blade edge hits an obstacle
(stone, wood).
• Hold the device with both hands.
• Make sure there are no ob-
stacles on the ground and do
not use the 3-tooth blade near
fences, metal posts or similar.
Additional safety
instructions
•
Hold the power tool only by the
insulated gripping surfaces as
the cutting blade may come
into contact with concealed
power lines. Contact with a live
wire can also cause a charge
in metal parts of the appliance
and result in an electric shock.
Use only properly
sharpened tools.
To cut thick stems,
switch the device
