■ Things to be careful about when using
your brushcutter
•When using your brushcutter, grip the
handles of the brushcutter firmly with both
hands, place your feet slightly apart
(slightly further apart than the width of your
shoulders) so that your weight is distributed
evenly across both legs, and always be
sure to maintain a steady, even posture
while working.
•Maintain the speed of the engine at the
level required to perform cutting work, and
never raise the speed of the engine above
the level necessary.
•Always be sure never to allow other
persons to come within the work area while
cutting.
•Be especially careful not to slip if it is
raining or if rain has just stopped, as the
ground is likely to be slippery at such times.
•If the grass or other object gets caught in
the blade during operation, always be sure
to turn off the engine before removing the
object.
•Guard against hazardous situations at all
times. Warn adults to keep pets and
children away from the area. Establish a
safe method for gaining your attention
during operation. Be careful if you are
approached.
•If someone calls out or otherwise interrupts
you while working, always be sure to turn
off the engine before turning around.
•Keep operation area clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets. Injury
may result from flying debris.
•Never touch the spark plug or plug cord
while the engine is in operation. Doing so
may result in being subjected to an
electrical shock.
Safety Precautions
•Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or
other metallic parts of the engine while the
engine is in operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These metallic
parts reach high temperatures during
operation and doing so could result in
serious burns.
•When you finish cutting in one location and
wish to continue work in another spot, turn
off the engine, place the protective cover
over the blades, and turn the brushcutter
so that the blade face away from your body
before carrying it to the new location.
•Never transport the brushcutter over rough
roads over long distances without removing
all fuel from the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel
might leak from the tank during transport.
