SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Clearing's ABC Grass clearing using a grass blade A. Always use the correct equipment. B. Always have well adjusted equipment. C. Follow the safety instructions. D. Organise the work well. E. Always use full throttle when applying the blade. F. Always use a sharp blade. G. Avoid stones. ! WARNING! Avoid cutting in the cutting region between 12 and 3 o'clock on the blade. Kickback can occur due to the blade's rotation speed in this area of the blade when applied on thick stems. Working methods • Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, its condition, slopes, if there are stones, pits, etc. • On sloping ground the pathway should run parallel to the slope. It is far easier to work along a slope then up and down a slope. • The pathway should be planned so that you avoid going over ditches or other obstacles. • A blade is used for all types of high or thick grass. • The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right-toleft is the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the return stroke. Let the blade work on the left-hand side (between 8 and 12 o'clock). • If the blade is angled to the left when clearing the grass will collect in a line, which makes collection easier, e.g. when raking. • Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again. • Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground. • Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions: a) Always work at full throttle. b) Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke. • Stop the engine and remove the brushcutter from the harness before you start to gather the cut material. Brush cutting using the saw blade • Cut through thin stems and brush. Swing the blade sideways in a sawing motion. • Avoid cutting in the cutting region between 12 and 3 o'clock on the blade. 12 3 ! WARNING! Neither the user of the tool or anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or with the blade rotating as this can result in serious injury. Stop the engine and blade before you remove material that has wound around the blade as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear unit can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. There is a risk of slight burns if you touch it. WARNING! Beware of thrown objects. Always wear eye ! protection. Never lean over the guard. Stones, rubbish etc. can be thrown up into the eyes resulting in blindness or other serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be outside the safety zone of 15 meters (50 feet). Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches. 14 - English
