5. General safety instructions for power tools
mWARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and spec-
ifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool, petrol driven power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b. Avoidbodycontactwith earthedorgrounded surfaces,such as pipes,radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

17
General safety instructions for power tools
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Useof anRCDreduces theriskofelectric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when op-
erating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Pro-
tective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may re-
sult in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your appli-
cation. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

18
General safety instructions for power tools
which it was designed.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery
pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
mWARNING! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during op-
eration. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recom-
mend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.

• DO NOT substitute the blade with any other types of blade other than that is
detailed in this manual. DO NOT fit a saw blade to this product.
• This brush cutter is fitted with a centrifugal clutch. At idle, the blade must not
be rotating. Make a practice to always check the clutch is correctly operating
and at idle the blade does not rotate, and rotation of the blade only occurs as
the speed of the motor is increase from manually operating the speed trigger.
Do NOT use the brush cutter if the blade at idle speed is rotating and take it
to an authorised service centre.
• Exercise extreme caution when using the 3T brush cutter blade with this unit.
Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the spinning 3T brush cut-

21
General safety instructions for power tools/Before starting the equipment/Attachment and operation
ter blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the 3T brush
cutter 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 oper-
ator to lose control of the unit. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the
blade snags, stalls or binds. This is more then likely to occur in areas where it
is difficult to see the material being cut.

7.4 Adjusting the speed on the brush cutter/Grass Trimmer
• NOTE: The cutting head (nylon cutting head or cutting blade) will not rotate at the idle
speed. The cutting head (nylon cutting head or cutting blade) will engage and rotate when
the speed of the motor is increased.
• To increase speed and engage the cutting head, squeeze the throttle lock lever (19) and
then the throttle lever (17). The throttle lock lever (19) can be released during operation.
• To decrease the speed, slowly release the throttle lever (17) to the desired speed.
• To disengage the cutter head (nylon cutting head or cutting blade), release all pressure on
the throttle lever (17) and allow the motor to return to idle. The cutter head (nylon cutting
head or cutting blade) will disengage at idle.
• NOTE: Be aware that when using the cutting blade (7), it will take a few seconds to run down.
•
mIMPORTANT! If the cutting head (nylon cutting head or cutting blade) does not disengage
and stop when the throttle is in the idle position, turn off the petrol motor and have the unit
checked at a service centre. This should be checked every time the motor is started.
