◾
Inspect the blade at a regular short interval for signs of damage. Do not continue
working with a damaged blade.
◾
Have the blade resharpened regularly (when it has dulled noticeably) and
balanced if necessary (should be performed by a qualified service technician).
BLADE THRUST
Exercise extreme caution when using this unit. 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 unit away from the object that
was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control of the
unit. Blade thrust can 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 with the brush cutter from the
right to the left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
Before each use check for damaged/worn parts
Check the blade, guard, and bike handle and replace any parts that are cracked,
warped, bent, or damaged in any away. The edge of the blade can dull over time.
It is recommended that you turn over the blade to extend the life of the blade and
periodically sharpen it (performed by a qualified service technician) or replace it with a
new blade when necessary.
Clean the brush cutter after each use
See the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.
WARNING:
servicing the brush cutter. Failure to comply could result in possible serious personal
injury.
Check for blockage of the 3-tooth blade
To prevent blockage, keep the blade clean. Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt and any
other accumulated debris before and after each use. When blockage happens, stop the
brush cutter and remove the battery. Then remove any grass that may have wrapped
itself around the motor shaft or the blade.
