The Properly Equipped Operator
Always wear a harness when operating the unit .
It adds comfort and helps ensure safety by limiting
movement fore and aft. When the harness is
adjusted properly, the unit should balance with the
cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
Always operate with both hands
rmly gripping the unit.
Wear close-tting clothing to
protect legs and arms. Gloves
offer added protection and are
strongly recommended. Do not
wear clothing or jewelry that
could get caught in machinery
or underbrush. Secure long hair
so that it is above shoulder level.
NEVER wear shorts!
Wear hearing protection devices and a
broad-brimmed hat or helmet. A helmet
is required when using a blade-equipped
brushcutter to clear small trees.
Always wear eye protection such as
goggles or safety glasses to shield
against thrown objects.
Keep away from the rotating
trimmer line at all times, and
never lift a moving attachment
above waist-high.
Wear appropriate footwear (non-skid
boots or shoes): do not wear open-
toed shoes or sandals. Never work
barefooted!
Keep a proper footing and do not
overreach. Maintain your balance at all
times during operation.
Always make sure the
appropriate cutting attachment
shield is correctly installed and
in good condition. Do not
operate the unit if the
cutting attachment shield
is missing, loose, or
broken.
Long-term exposure to vibration
can damage your hands.
Prolonged exposure to excessive noise
is fatiguing and could lead to impaired
hearing.
