OPERATING THE BRUSHCUTTER

Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height. Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade.

Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brushcutter at a comfortable operating position and to assure that the shoulder strap will reduce the risk of operator contact with the blade. See Figure 14.

Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and suddenly “thrust” the unit away from the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the mate- rial being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this could minimise the blade thrust reaction. See Figure 15.
