Kickback

–  When operating the Petrol Brushcutter, 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 Petrol Brushcutter within a segment between 12 and 2 

o’clock.

–  Never apply this segment of the Petrol Brushcutter blade to solids, such as 

bushes and trees, etc., having a diameter in excess of 3 cm or the Petrol 

Brushcutter 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.

Maintenance instructions

–  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 commencing 

work. Particular attention is to be paid to the cutting blades which must be 

correctly sharpened.

–  Turn off the engine and remove spark plug connector when replacing or 

sharpening cutting tools, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting tool.

Cutting Tools

Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand.
