• Do not smoke when using the machine and ensure caution when

• Ensure that bystanders, children and pets keep well away when starting

• Inspect the machine and all attachments before use for any worn or
damaged parts. Do not use until the parts are repaired or replaced.
• Before starting the engine make sure the attachment is not in contact
with anything and have a clear work area and secure footing.
• The machine should not be exposed to high temperatures or damp and
wet conditions.
• Clean the machine after each use and, if storing for a prolonged period,
drain down the fuel in the tank. Remove the spark plug and put a few
drops of oil into the cylinder before pulling the starter a 2-3 times to
distribute the oil evenly. Replace the spark plug.
• Regularly check that screws, bolts and nuts are correctly fitted.
• Remove tools from the machine before starting, to prevent them being
thrown by the machine which may cause injuries to the user or
bystanders.
• Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for the task. The
correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• Do not use this machine if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired or replaced before use.
• Where possible make use of a shoulder harness when using the
machine. Adjust the harness to a comfortable operating position before
using the machine. Maintain a firm grip on both handles during use. Keep
your body clear of the cutting area of the machine.
• Do not attempt to remove a blockage from a jammed machine before first
switching the engine off.

immediately. Do not allow yourself to be distracted while the machine is

OPERATION
Operating the Brushcutter:
• Operate the throttle trigger with your right hand and hold the barrier handle with your left
hand.
• Always keep a rm grip with both hands during operation.
• The brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip
height. Adjust the harness to suit.
• Maintain a rm footing in case the machine hits a solid object and kicks back.
• Do not use the brushcutter near fencing, posts, buildings or other immoveable objects -
use the line trimmer attachment.
• Best results are obtained if you cut from right to left in a broad sweeping action.
• If a hard object is hit, stop the machine and inspect for any damage straight away.
• Never attempt to sharpen the blade. It is reversible so should be turned over when blunt.
The blade must remain balanced. Always check for any damage before use and replace
a damaged blade immediately.
To avoid burns from the hot engine, never operate the unit with the bottom of the
engine above waist level or on the operator's left side.Always position the unit on the
user's right side.
