Work Area Precautions

•  Always cut with both feet on solid ground to 

prevent being pulled off balance.

•  Make sure you can move and stand safely. 

Check the area around you for possible 
obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) 
in case you have to move suddenly. 

•  Do not cut above chest height, as a brush 

cutter held higher is difficult to control against 
kickout forces.

•  Do not work near electrical wires. Leave this 

operation for professionals.

•  Cut only when visibility and light are adequate 

for you to see clearly.

•  Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely 

dangerous.  

•  Stop the brush cutter if the blade strikes a 

foreign object. Inspect the blade and brush 
cutter; repair parts as necessary. 

•  Keep the blade out of dirt and sand. Even a 

small amount of dirt will quickly dull a blade 
and increase the possibility of kickout.

•  Stop the engine before setting the brush 

cutter down.

• Be particularly cautious and alert while 

wearing hearing protection because such 
equipment may restrict your ability to hear 
sounds indicating danger (calls, signals, 
warnings, etc).

• Be extremely cautious when working on 

slopes or uneven ground.

WARNING: Never use rigid blades when 

cutting in stony areas. Thrown objects or 
damaged blades may result in serious or fatal 
injury to the operator or bystanders. Watch 
out for thrown objects. Always wear approved 
eye protection. Never lean over the cutting 
attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can 
be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness 
or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons 
at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers 
and helpers should be kept outside the safety 
zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately 
if anyone approaches. Never swing the 
machine around without first checking 

and wait a few seconds to let the engine cool off.
Turn off the engine, pushing the ON/OFF switch 
(16).

7. USING THE MACHINE

PROHIBITED USE

WARNING: Avoid kickout which can 

result in serious injury. Kickout is the 
sideward or sudden forward motion of the 
machine occurring when the blade contacts 
any object such as a log or stone. Contacting 
a foreign object can also result in loss of 
brush cutter control.

WARNING!

- Always follow the safety 

precautions. The brush cutter must only be 
used to trim grass material. Do not cut metal, 
plastics, masonry.  Do not use the brush cutter 
as a lever to lift, move or break objects, nor 
lock it on fixed supports. It is forbidden to apply 
tools or applications that are not the ones 
indicated by the manufacturer onto the brush 
cutter’s power take-off.

WARNING: When using rigid blades, 

avoid cutting close to fences, sides of 
buildings, tree trunks, stones or other such 
objects that could cause the brush cutter to 
kick out or could cause damage to the blade. 
We recommends use of the nylon line heads 
for such jobs. In addition, be alert to an 
increased possibility of ricochets in such 
situations.

WARNING: Never use of a brush cutter 

with the cutting attachment perpendicular to 
the ground. Never use the brushcutter for 
trimming hedges.

WARNING: If the blade loosens after 

being properly tightened, stop work 
immediately. The retaining nut may be worn 
or damaged and should be replaced. Never 
use unauthorized parts to secure the blade. If 
the blade continues to loosen, see your 
dealer. Never use the brushcutter for 
trimming hedges.
