Kickback
(Blade Thrust)
When operating the brushcutter, uncontrolled kickback may oc-
cur.
This particularly the case when cutting in the area between 12
and 2 (11).
Never start a cut in this area when cutting hard objects such
as brush, bushes etc.
If you do this, the brushcutter will be thrown to one side at high
speed and with great force. High risk of injury!
Never start a cut in the area between 12 and 2 (Fig. 11).
Kickback prevention (12):
-
To avoid kickbacks, observe the following:
-
Always watch what you´re doing! Be careful when continuing
cuts started previously.
-
The cutting tool must be turning at full speed before starting
cuts.
-
There is a high risk of injury in the area between 12 and 2,
especially when using metal cutting blades.
-
Cuts in the areas between 11 and 12 and between 2 and 5
should be performed only by trained operators and at their
own risk.
-
Easy, low-kickback cutting is possible in the area between 8
and 11.
Working behavior / Method of working
-
Use the brushcutter only in good light and visibility. During the
winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow
(risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.
-
Never cut above your shoulder height.
-
Never stand on a ladder and run the brushcutter.
-
Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operations with
the brushcutter.
-
Never work on unstable surfaces.
-
Make sure the cutting area is free of foreign objects such as
stones and metal items. Foreign particles can rebound (dan-
ger of injury, 13), damage the cutting tool and cause dange-
rous kickbacks.
-
Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have rea-
ched full working speed.
Applications for cutting tools
Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand (14)! Do not
use tools for jobs they are not designed for.
2-line trimmer head:
Only for cutting grass next to walls, fences, lawn edges, trees,
posts etc.
8-tooth eddy blade and 4-tooth star blade:
For cutting thicker materials like weeds, tall grass, bushes,
shrubs, mixed growth, thickets, etc. with stems up to 3/4" (2 cm)
thick. Perform this cutting work by swinging the brush cutter
evenly in half-circles from left to right (similar to a scythe).
Transport
-
When transporting the equipment or moving to another
working location, the brushcutter must be switched off in
order to avoid unintentionally starting the cutting tool.
-
Never carry and transport the brushcutter when the cutting
tool is in operation!
-
The tool protection included with the equipment must always
be used if the brushcutter is transported over longer distances.
-
Ensure that the brushcutter is safely secured so that no fuel
can run out before transporting it in a vehicle. Empty the fuel
tank before transporting the brushcutter.
-
Before shipping the brushcutter, completely empty the fuel
tank.
