RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still 
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk 
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the 
operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:

■

Contact with cutting means

– Ensure that the blade protectors are fitted when 

the product is not in use. Keep hands and feet 
away from the blades at all times.

■

Injury caused by vibration

– Always use the right tool for the job, use designated 

handles, and restrict working time and exposure.

■

Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise

– Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.

■

Eye injury caused by flying debris

– Wear eye protection at all times.

■

Risk of falling objects

– Wear head protection if there is any risk of falling 

objects.

Kickback can occur when using the brushcutter. Ensure 
proper control by using both hands on the designated 
handles. Read and follow the directions elsewhere in this 
manual to help reduce the risk of kickback.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools 
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome. 
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching 
of the 

fi

 ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. 

Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, 
smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to 
the development of these symptoms. There are measures 
that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the 
effects of vibration:

■

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating 
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists 
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor 
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.

■

After each period of operation, exercise to increase 
blood circulation.

■

Ensure that the product is correctly located in a 
designated working position before starting the 
product.

■

Limit the amount of exposure per day. Take frequent 
work breaks. 

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, 
immediately discontinue use and see your physician.

 WARNING

Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged 
use of the product. When using any tool for prolonged 
periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
