~
Before cutting, inspect
the area for stones, glass,
pieces of metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could throw objects
of this kind.
~.
To reduce the
. risk of injury
from thrown
objects and
blade contact,
never operate a brushcutter without a
properly mounted deflector. Keep the
skirt on the deflectors adjusted properly
at all times (see chapter
on mounting the
various cutting tools of your owner's
manual). Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your brushcutter only
outdoors
in a ventilated area. Operate
the brushcutter under good visibility
and daylight conditions only. Work
carefully.
Always hold the brushcutter firmly with
both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly
around the handles, keeping the hand-
les cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hands
in this positi-
on, to have your brushcutter under con-
trol at all times. Make sure your brush-
cutter handles and grip are
in good con-
dition and free of moisture, pitch, oil or
grease.

Warningl
Never attempt to operate any brush
cutter with one hand. Loss of control of
the brushcutter resulting
in serious or
fatal injury may result.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury
resulting from loss of control and contact
with the cutting tool, make sure your
unif':-
is equipped with the proper handle ana
harness for the type of cutting attach-
ment being used (see chart
in chapter
on "Selecting the Cutting Tool").
Special care must be taken
in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and
in
difficult, over-grown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.
Waming'
This brushcutter is normally to be used
at ground level with the cutting attach-
ment parallel
to the ground. Use of a
brushcutter above ground level or with
the cutting attachment perpendicular
to
the ground may increase the risk of
injury, since the cutting attachment
is
more fully exposed and the brushcutter
may be more difficult
to control. Never
use your brushcutter as a hedge
trimmer.
