– Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely fastened and does not leak.
– Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at least 3 meters (10ft) away from the place of refuelling).
– Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground level (risk of explosion).
– Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make sure the fuel stored is not
accessible to children.
Method of operation
– Only use the brush cutter in good lighting and visibility. During the winter season beware of
slippery or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe looting.
– Never cut above the shoulder height.
– Never stand on a ladder and run the brush cutter.
– Never climb up trees to perform cutting operation with the brush cutter.
– Never work on unstable surfaces.
– Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range. Foreign particles may damage the cutting tool and can cause dangerous
kick-backs.
– Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached full working speed.
– If grass or branches get caught between the cutting tool and guard, always stop the engine before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional blade
rotation may cause serious injury.
– Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
Kickback (blade thrust)
– When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickback may occur.
– This is particularly the case when attempting to cut within a blade segment between 12 and
2 o'clock.
– Never apply the brush cutter within a segment between 12 and 2 o'clock.
– Never apply this segment of the brush cutter blade to solids, such as bushes and trees, etc.,
having a diameter in excess of 3 cm or the brush cutter will be deflected at great force with
the risk of injuries.
Kickback prevention
To avoid kickbacks, observe the following:
– Operation within a blade segment between 12 and 2 o'clock presents positive hazards,
especially when using metal cutting tools.
– Cutting operations within a blade segment between 11 and 12 o'clock, and between 2 and 5
o'clock, must only be performed by trained and experienced operators, and then only at their
own risk. Easy cutting with almost no kickback is possible within a blade segment between 8
and 11 o'clock.
Cutting Tools
Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand.
Nylon cutting head:
Exclusively designed for cutting along walls, fences, grass edges, trees, posts etc. (supplementing the grass mower). Perform this cutting
work by swinging the grass trimmer evenly in half-circles from left to right.
Cutter blade:
Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and flail blades. Otherwise serious injury may result.
For cutting thick materials, such as weed, high grass, bushes, shrubs, under wood, thicket etc. (max. 2 cm dia. thickness). Perform this
cutting work by swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from right to left (similar to using a scythe).
Maintenance instructions
– Have your equipment serviced by our authorized service center, always using only genuine replacement parts. Incorrect repair and poor
maintenance can shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of accidents.
– The condition of the cutter, in particular of the cutting tool of the protective devices and also of the shoulder strap must be checked before
