TIPS ON BRUSH CUTTING
OBSTACLES: Always check your work area before mowing and remove any debris that might get tangled in or damage the machine. If the mower becomes tangled, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before reaching into the mower deck area.
SLOPES: Do not operate the brush blazer on slopes more than 20 degrees. If you have to operate the machine on sloping terrain, move across the face of the slope, not up and down. IF THE MACHINE GETS HUNG UP: Disengage the blade immediately. Try moving in reverse and backing away from the obstacle.
CUTTING BRUSH AND SAPLINGS: The Brush Blazer can cut saplings up to 4” in diameter. When cutting saplings or brush, allow the Brush Blazer to ride up and over the material slowly. Adjust your forward speed to varying conditions. After cutting brush or saplings, you may want to mow over it again to remove any remaining branches. It its recommended to mow from the trunk end toward the top as the brush lies on the ground.
CUTTING IN WET CONDITIONS: Use extreme caution when cutting in wet or slippery conditions. Avoid steep slopes or other slippery areas. Use a lower speed when conditions are wet or slippery.
