SAFETY RULES
Basic Safety Precautions
• Read this manual carefully until you
completely understand and can follow all
safety rules, precautions, and operating
instructions before attempting to use the
unit.
• Restrict the use of your brush cutter to
adult users who understand and can follow
safety rules, precautions, and operating
instructions found in this manual. Minors
should never be allowed to use a brush
cutter.
• Do not handle or operate a brush cutter
when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you
have taken alcohol, drugs, or medication.
You must be in good physical condition
and mentally alert. Brush cutter work is
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating a
brush cutter. Be more cautious before rest
periods and towards the end of your shift.
• Keep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 50 feet (15 meters) away from
the work area. Do not allow other people
or animals to be near the brush cutter when
starting or operating the brush cutter.
• Major cases of brush cutter accidents
happen when the blade or thrown objects
hits the operator. While working with the
brush cutter, always use safety protective
approved clothing. The use of protective
clothing does not eliminate injury risks,
but reduces the injury effects in case of
accident. Consult your trusted supplier
to choose equipment in compliance
with legislation. The clothing must be
proper and not an obstacle. Wear adherent
protective clothing. Protective jackets and
dungarees leggings are ideal. Do not
wear clothes, scarves, ties or bracelets that
may get stuck into twigs. Tie up and protect
long hair (example with foulards, cap,
helmets, etc.). Safety boots having skid-
proof sole and anti-piercing insert. Wear
protective goggles or face screens. Use
protections against noises: for example,
noise reduction ear guards or earplugs.
The use of protections for the ear requires
much more attention and caution, because
the perception of audible warning signals
(screaming, alarms, etc.) is limited. Always
remove your hearing protection as soon as
the engine stops. Wear gloves that permit
the maximum absorption of vibrations.
• Only allow others to use this brush cutter
who have read this Operator’s Manual or
received adeguate instructions for the safe
and proper use of this brush cutter.
• Check the brush cutter each day to ensure
that each device, whether for safety or
otherwise, is functional.
• Never use a damaged, modied, or
improperly repaired or assembled brush
cutter. Do not remove, damage or
deactivate any of the safety devices. Only
use cutting tools indicated in the table
(page 10). Always replace cutting tools or
safety devices immediately if it becomes
damaged, broken or is otherwise removed.
• Carefully plan your operation in advance.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned
retreat path.
• All brush cutter service, other than the
operations shown in the present manual,
have to be performed by competent
personnel.
• The brush cutter must only be used for
trimming grass, grass clearing and / or
forestry clearing. It is unadvisable to cut
other types of material.
• It is unadvisable to hitch tools or applications
to the P.t.o. that are not specied by the
manufacturer.

Fuel Handling
WARNING: Gasoline is an
extremely flammable fuel. Use
extreme caution when handling
gasoline or fuel mix. Do not
smoke or bring any re or ame
near the fuel or the brush cutter.
WARNING: Fuel and fuel fumes
can cause serious injury when
inhaled or allowed to come in
contact with the skin. For this
reason observe caution when
handling fuel and make sure there
is adequate ventilation.
WARNING: Beware of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING! – Mufers tted with
catalytic converters get very hot
during use and remain so for
some time after stopping. This
also applies at idle speed. Contact
can result in burns to the skin.
Remember the risk of re!
• To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly
ammable.
• Mix, store and transport fuel in a container
approved for gasoline.
• Mix fuel outdoors where there are no
sparks or ames.
• Select bare ground, stop engine, and allow
to cool before refuelling.
• Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure
and to keep fuel from escaping around the
cap.
SAFETY RULES
• Tighten fuel cap securely after refuelling.
Unit vibration can cause an improperly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and
spill quantities of fuel.
• Wipe spilled fuel from the unit and allow
remaining fuel to evaporate. Move 10 feet
(3 m) away from refuelling site before
starting engine.
• Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under
any circumstances.
• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the brush cutter.
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated
place.
• Never place the brush cutter in a
combustible area such as dry leaves, straw,
paper, etc.
• Store the unit and fuel in an area where
fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open
ames from water heaters, electric motors
or switches, furnaces, etc.
• Never take the cap off the tank when the
engine is running.
• Never use fuel for cleaning operations.
• Take care not to get fuel on your clothing.
If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your
clothes, change your clothes. Wash any
part of your body that has come in contact
with fuel. Use soap and water.
Operation and Safety
WARNING: Always hold the brush
cutter with both hands when the
engine is running. Use a rm grip
with thumbs and ngers encircling
the brush cutter handles (Fig. 2).
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
cutting attachment when the engine is
running.
• Always carry the brush cutter with the
engine stopped and the mufer away
from your body. When transporting your

en

SAFETY RULES
brush cutter, use the appropriate blade
guard (Fig. 3). When transporting in a
vehicle, keep blade covered with the
guard. Properly secure your brush cutter to
prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage.
• Do not operate a brush cutter with
one hand! Serious injury to the operator,
helpers, bystanders, or any combination of
these persons may result from one-handed
operation. A brush cutter is intended for
two-handed use.
• Before you start the engine, make sure the
cutting attachment is not contacting any
object.
• Shut off the engine before setting down
the brush cutter. Do not leave the engine
running unattended.
• Only use the brush cutter in well-ventilated
places, do not operate the brush cutter
in explosive or ammable atmospheres or
in closed environments. Beware of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Do not operate brush cutter from a ladder
or in a tree. Always cut from a rm-footed
and safe position.
WARNING: Take great care when
working on sloping ground.
• Do not cut near electric cables.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.
• Never cut with the brush cutter above
shoulder height.
• Never use the brush cutter without blade
guard or the head guard.
• Do not start the engine with the arm not
mounted.
Precautions Against Kickout
WARNING: Avoid kickout which
can result in serious injury.
Kickout is the sideward, or
sudden forward motion of the
machine occurring when the
blade contacts any object such
as a log or stone, or when the
wood closes in and pinches the
saw blade in the cut. Contacting
a foreign object can also result in
loss of brush cutter control.
Reduce the Risk of Kickout
WARNING: Recognize that
kickout can happen. With a basic
understanding of kickout, you can
reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.
• Never let the moving blade contact any
object.
• Keep the working area free from
obstructions such as other trees, branches,
rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or
avoid any obstruction that your blade could
hit while you are cutting.
• Keep your blade sharp. Follow
manufacturer’s blade sharpening and
maintenance instructions.
• Begin and continue cutting at full speed.
If the blade is moving at a slower speed,
there is greater chance of kickout
occurring.
Maintain Control
• Keep a good, rm grip on the brush cutter
with both hands when the engine is running
and don’t let go (Fig. 2). A rm grip will help
you reduce kickout and maintain control of
the brush cutter.
Keep the ngers encircling the handle.
• Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
• Do not overreach. You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of the
brush cutter.
