into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
f) Beware of blade thrust . Blade thrust may occur when the
spinning blade contacts an object that it does not immediately
cut. A blade thrust can be violent enough to cause the product
and/or operator to be propelled in any direction and possibly
lose control of the product. Blade thrust can occur 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.
g) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
h) Turn tool off completely before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
i) Stopping the brushcutter. A coasting blade can cause injury
while it continues to spin after the engine is stopped or the
throttle is released. Maintain proper control until the blade has
completely stopped rotating.
j) Taking care with adjustments. During carburettor adjustments
the cutting attachment may spin. Therefore you should wear
protective equipment and observe all safety instructions when
adjusting the carburetor
k) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
l) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
m) Inspect the product before each use. Replace damaged
parts. Check for fuel leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in place
and secure. Replace cutting attachment parts that are cracked
chipped or damaged in any way. Make sure the cutting attach-
ment guard is properly installed and in the position recommended
by the manufacturer. NEVER use wire or wire rope which can
break off and become a dangerous projectile.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries. Wear no-slip, heavy-duty work gloves to improve your
grip on the handle. Gloves also reduce the transmission of
machine vibration to your hands.
c) Always wear protective clothing - long heavy pants,
boots and gloves. Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery, short
pants, open toed shoes or go barefoot. Secure hair so that it
is above shoulder level to avoid entanglement in moving parts.
d) Choose the right time of day. Heavy protective clothing
can increase operator fatigue which may lead to heat stroke.
Schedule heavy work for early morning or late afternoon hours
when temperatures are cooler.
e) Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in un-
expected situations.
f) Keep pets, children, and bystanders outside a 15m radius.
3) Power Tool Use And Care
a) Check condition of brushcutter before use. The brushcutter
should be assembled as per manufacturer’s instructions. Do
not attach any blade to a product without proper installation of
all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the
blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.
Discard blades that are bent, warped, cracked, broken or
damaged in any way.
b) Never start or run the product inside a closed room or
building. Breathing exhaust fumes can cause illness or death.
c) Mix and pour fuel outdoors where there are no sparks
or flames. Slowly remove the fuel cap only after stopping the
engine. Do not smoke while fuelling or mixing fuel. Wipe spilled
fuel from the product immediately. Move at least 9m from the
fuelling source and site before starting engine.
d) Keep the cutting attachment below waist level. Keep all
parts of your body away from the rotating cutting attachment
and hot surfaces.
e) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed, taking
