SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Large stems must be cut from two sides. Determine in which direction the stem should fall. First apply the saw to the felling side. Then cut from the other side to fell the stem. The feed pressure should be applied with regard to the size of the stem‘s hardness. Small stems require more pressure, while large stems require less pressure.

• If the stems are tightly packed adapt the through-speed with this in mind.

•If the blade should jam in the stem, never jerk the machine free. If you do this the blade, angle gear, shaft or the handlebars can be damaged. Release the handlebars and grip the shaft with both hands and slowly pull the machine free.

Brush cutting using the saw blade

•Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work by swinging the machine

sideways.

• Try to cut several stems in one movement.

• With groups of hardwood

stems, first clear around the group. Cut high on the stems around the outside of the group to avoid jamming. Now cut the stumps to the required height. Now try to come in with the blade and cut from the centre of the group. If it is still difficult to gain access, cut long stumps and let the stems fall down. This will reduce the risk of jamming.

Brush cutting using a grass blade

• A blade is used for all types of high or thick grass.

•The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging

movement, where the movement from right-to- left is the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the return stroke. Let the blade work on the left-hand side (between 8 and 12 o’clock).

•If the blade is angled to the left when clearing the grass will collect in a line, which makes collection easier, e.g. when raking.

•Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again.

•Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.

•Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions:

a)Always work at full throttle.

b)Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke.

•Stop the engine and remove the brushcutter from the harness before you start to gather the cut material.

!WARNING!

Neither the user of the tool or anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or with the blade rotating as this can result in serious injury.

Stop the engine and blade before you remove material that has wound around the blade as otherwise there is a risk of injury.

!WARNING!

Warning for thrown objects. Always wear protective glasses. Never lean over the 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 (50 feet). Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.
