WORKING TECHNIQUES

General working instructions

IMPORTANT!

This section describes the basic safety precautions for working with brush cutters and trimmers.

If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop.

Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.

You must understand the difference between forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.

Basic safety rules

1 Look around you:

•To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.

•To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.

•CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident.

2Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects, such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string, etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped around the cutting attachment.

3Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.

4Make 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. Take great care when working on sloping ground.

5Take great care when cutting a tree that is under tension. A tree that is under tension may spring back to its normal position before or after being cut. If you

position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause serious personal injury.

6Keep a good balance and a firm foothold. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

7Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine on the right side of your body. Keep all parts of your body away from the hot surfaces. Keep all parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment.

8Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.

9Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting the equipment any distance.

10Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

The ABC of clearing

•Always use the correct equipment.

•Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.

•Follow the safety precautions.

•Organise your work carefully.

•Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the blade.

•Always use sharp blades.

•Avoid stones.

•Control the felling direction (take advantage of the wind).
