■
The small blade fitted to the grass deflector is designed
to trim the new extended line to the correct length for
safe and optimum performance. It is very sharp; do not
touch it, particularly when cleaning the product.
■
Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
of debris.
■
Make sure that the cutting head attachment is properly
installed and securely fastened.
■
Make sure that all guards, deflectors, and handles are
properly and securely attached.
■
Do not modify the product in any way. This may increase
the risk of injury to yourself or others.
■
Use only the manufacturer's replacement cutting line.
Do not use any other cutting attachment.
■
Immediately turn off the product in the event of accident
or breakdown. Do not operate the product again until it
has been fully checked by an authorised service centre.
BRUSHCUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
In addition to the above rules, these additional
instructions are appropriate when using the product in
brushcutter mode.
■
Use heavy-duty gloves while installing or removing
blades, they have sharp edges.
■
Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is
rotating.
■
A moving blade can cause severe injury. Maintain proper
control of the product with both hands until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
■
Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always
make sure that the blade is installed correctly and
securely fastened before each use.
■
Use only the manufacturer's replacement TRI-ARC
blade. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
■
Never cut any material over 13 mm diameter.
■
The brushcutter is fitted with a harness. Carefully adjust
the harness to fit comfortably and help support the
weight of the product at your right side.
■
Identify the quick-release mechanism and practice using
it before you start using the product. Its correct use may
prevent serious injury in case of an emergency. Never
wear additional clothing over the harness or otherwise
that restrict access to the quick release mechanism.
■
Cover the blade with the blade protector before storing
the product, or during transportation. Always remove the
blade protector before using the product. If not removed,
the blade protector could become a thrown object as the
blade begins to turn.
■
Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with the
product. Blade thrust is the reaction that 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 product away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the
operator to lose control of the product. 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 material 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 practice could minimise the blade thrust reaction.
Both hands must be used at all times to control the
product.
■
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use
of the product. When using any product for prolonged
periods, ensure to take regular breaks.
