General safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
The word power tool used in the following warnings and
throughout this manual refers to BOTH electrical power tools
and ALSO petrol driven power tools.
This unit may not be used by people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capacities, with a lack of experience and without
the appropriate knowledge, unless they are supervised by someone who is
responsible for their safety or have been instructed by such a person with
regard to how the unit is to be operated. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the device.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents. Rags, cloths, cord, string and similar items should never be left
around the work area.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of ammable 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.
Distractions can cause the operator 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 grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
4
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence 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.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection will reduce personal injures.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the“o”
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger 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 key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result 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,
clothing and gloves 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
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

General safety warnings
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tools. 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.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it“on” and
“o”. 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 the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures 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 with care. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
aect 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
dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.
• Never use blades near footpaths, fencing, posts, buildings or other
immovable objects.
• Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without rst inspecting
it for damage. Do not use if any damage is detected.
• The unit is used as a scythe, cutting from the right to the left in a

• Check the blade is correctly seated and the blade nut is tight.
• DO NOT substitute the blade with any other types of blade other than
that is detailed in this manual. DO NOT t a saw blade to this product.
• This brushcutter is tted 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 brushcutter if the blade at idle speed is rotating and
take it to an authorised service centre.
• Exercise extreme caution when using the 3T brushcutter blade with
this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the
spinning 3T brushcutter blade contacts anything it cannot cut.
This contact may cause the 3T brushcutter 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 operator 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 dicult to see the material being cut.

blade as indicated by an arrow on the blade
corresponds with the arrow direction on the top
of the guard.
4. To fully secure the blade bolt, again insert the
4mm allen key (37) through both holes to lock the
spindle (Fig S), then using the spark plug spanner
/ blade nut wrench / screwdriver combination

Tips for Operation for Brushcutter
Always use the double shoulder strap harness (31) when using the
brushcutter to avoid serious personal injury.
Hold the brushcutter with one hand on the trigger handle and the other
hand on the P handle (12).
Keep a rm grip with both hands while in operation. The brushcutter should
be held at a comfortable position with the double shoulder strap attachment
point (38) about hip height.
Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you
will not be drawn o balance by the kick-back reaction of the 3T brushcutter
blade (28).
Exercise extreme caution when using the 3T brushcutter blade (28) with
this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the spinning
3T brushcutter blade (28) contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may
cause the 3T brushcutter blade (28) 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 operator 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 dicult to see the
material being cut.
For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right to
the left. In the event that an unexpected object or woody stock is
encountered, this could cause the blade thrust reaction.
