manual in a safe place for reference at a
later date.
• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of
the cutter.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with the instructions to use the machine.
Local regulations can restrict the age of
the operator.
• Never trim while people, especially
children or pets, are nearby. Keep in mind
that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
• This cutter is not intended for use by
people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the
cutter by a person responsible for their
safety.
• Do not touch the rotating spool.
Personal safety
• Do not allow children or untrained
individuals to use this cutter.
• Never start or run the engine in an
enclosed or poorly-ventilated area;
breathing exhaust fumes can kill.
5
• Clear the work area before each use.
Remove all objects, such as rocks,
broken glass, nails, wire, or other such
debris, which can be thrown or become
entangled in the cutting line.
• Wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating this machine.
• Wear suitable, long trousers, boots, and
gloves. Do not wear loose fitting clothing,
shorts, or go barefoot. Do not wear
jewellery of any kind.
Operation safety
• Never operate this unit on the operator’s
left side.
• Long hair below shoulder level should
be secured, to prevent entanglement in
moving parts.
• Keep all bystanders, children and pets at
least 15m (50ft.) away.
• Do not operate the cutter when you are
tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or medication.
• Do not operate the cutter in poor lighting.
• Keep firm footing. Do not overreach.
Overreaching can result in loss of balance
or exposure to hot surfaces.
• Keep your body away from any moving
parts.
• To avoid hot surfaces, never operate the
unit with the bottom of the engine above
waist level.
6
• Do not touch the area around the exhaust
or cylinder of the unit; these parts get hot
during operation.
• Always stop the engine and remove
the spark plug wire before making
any adjustments or repairs, except for
carburettor adjustments.
• Inspect the unit for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc., before each use. Replace any
parts found to be worn or damaged.
• The string head will rotate during
carburettor adjustments and engine
starting.
• It has been reported that vibrations
from hand-held tools may, in certain
individuals, contribute to a condition
called Raynaud’s Syndrome. Symptoms
may include: tingling, numbness and
blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary
factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking and work practices are all
thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. It is presently
unknown what, if any, vibrations or
extent of exposure may contribute to the
condition. Measures can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of
vibration:
a. Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the unit, wear gloves
to keep the hands and wrists warm.
It is reported that cold weather is a
major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
7
b. After each period of operation, exercise
to increase blood circulation.
c. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
d. Keep the cutter well maintained,
fasteners tightened and worn parts
replaced.
• If you experience any of the symptoms of
this condition, immediately discontinue
use and see your doctor.
• Mix and store fuel in a container approved
for petrol clearly identified as 2-stroke.
• Mix fuel outdoors where there are no
sparks or flames. Wipe up any fuel
spillage. Move 10m (30ft.) away from the
refuelling site before starting the engine.
• Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refuelling or storing the unit.
• Before transporting in a vehicle, allow the
engine to cool, empty the fuel tank and
secure the cutter from moving.
• Replace the string head if cracked,
chipped, or damaged in any way. Be sure
the string head is properly installed and
securely fastened. Failure to do so can
cause serious injury.
• Make sure all guards, straps, and handles
are properly and securely attached.
• Use only the manufacturer’s replacement
string in the cutting head. Do not use any
other cutting attachment. To install any
other brand of cutting head to this string
cutter may result in serious personal
injury.
8
• Never operate the unit without the grass
guard in place and in good condition.
• Maintain a firm grip on both handles while
trimming. Keep the string head below
waist level. Never cut with the string head
located over 76cm (30in.) above the
ground.
Using Brush Cutter attachment safely
WARNING! Danger of injury! The
machine must not be used to cut
hedges, hard branches and wood, or

use it to cut grass that is not on the
ground, e.g. grass growing on walls,
rocks, etc.
WARNING! Danger of injury! Rotating
blades may lead to serious injuries
by cutting or amputating parts of the
body.
• Always have your arms and legs a safe
distance from the cutting mechanism, in
particular after turning the engine on.
• Never touch under the housing body
when the engine is running. Safety gloves
must be used!
• Never use the brush cutter without the
protective cover.
• After the cutter is turned off, the cutting
head keeps rotating for a couple of
seconds. Keep your arms and legs at a
safe distance.

• Always carry the machine by its handle,
keeping a safe distance from the blade to
avoid the risk of injury.
WARNING! Sharp blades! Take extra
care to avoid injury by the rotating
blades.
