◾
Always turn the brush cutter off or remove the
battery pack whenever leaving the tool unattended.
◾
Don't Use In Rain.
◾
Dress Properly - Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry,
short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. They can be
caught in moving parts. Always wear heavy, long pants
and a long-sleeve shirt. Use of rubber gloves and
substantial footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair to secure hair above shoulder level.
◾
Use Safety Glasses - Always use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
◾
Use the Right Tool - Do not use the tool for any job
except that for which it is intended.
◾
Don't Force the Brush Cutter - It will do the job better
and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for
which it was designed.
◾
Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the brush cutter when you are
tired.
◾
Do not operate the brush cutter while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
◾
Keep guards in place and in working order.
◾
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting area.
◾
Store Brush Cutter Indoors - When not in use the
brush cutter should be stored indoors in a dry and high
or locked-up place with the battery pack removed- out
of reach of children.
◾
Maintain Brush Cutter with Care - Keep the cutting
attachment clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow the instructions for changing
accessories. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease.
◾
Check Damaged Parts - Before further use of the
brush cutter, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service center unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.
◾
Make sure all fasteners are in place and secure.
Be sure the cutting attachment shield is properly
attached and in the position recommended by the
manufacturer.
◾
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove
all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire,
or string, which can be thrown or become entangled
in the cutting attachment. Clear the area of children,
bystanders and pets. At a minimum, keep all children,
bystanders and pets outside a 15 m (50 ft) radius;
outside the 15 m (50 ft) zone, there is still a risk of
injury from thrown objects. Bystanders should be
encouraged to wear eye protection.
◾
Always hold the brush cutter firmly, with both
hands on the handles, while operating. Wrap your
fingers and thumbs around the handles.
◾
Avoid Accidentally Starting - Don't carry the brush
cutter with your finger on the trigger.
◾
Do not operate the brush cutter in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres. Motors in these appliances
normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
◾
Damage to Brush cutter - If you strike a foreign
object with the brush cutter or it becomes entangled,
stop the tool immediately, check for damage and
have any damage repaired before further operation
is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or
blade.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A
loose blade may vibrate, crack, break or come off the
brush cutter, which may result in serious or fatal injury.
Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly
installed and securely fastened. If the blade loosens
after fixing it in position, replace it immediately. Never
use a brush cutter with a loose cutting attachment.
◾
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control,
never work on a ladder or on any other insecure
support. Never hold the cutting attachment above
waist height.
◾
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not over-reach.
Keep cutting attachment below waist level. Keep all
parts of your body away from the rotating cutting
attachment.
◾
Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out blade
immediately, even if damage is limited to superficial
cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed
and cause serious or fatal injury.
◾
Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals
during operation, or immediately if there is a noticeable
change in cutting behavior.
