Safety Precautions
• Avoid running the engine indoors. The
exhaust gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
• Never use your brushcutter under
circumstances like those described below:
1. When the ground is slippery or when
other conditions exist which might make
it not possible to maintain a steady
posture while using the brushcutter.
2. At night, at times of heavy fog, or at any
other times when your field of vision
might be limited and it would be difficult
to gain a clear view of the area where
the brushcutter is to be used to ensure
safety.
3. During rain storms, during lightning
storms, at times of strong or gale-force
winds, or at any other times when
weather conditions might make it unsafe
to use this product.
• When using this product for the first time,
before beginning actual work, take the
brushcutter to a wide, clear, open space,
turn on the power, and practice handling
the brushcutter until you are sure that you
will be able to handle in it properly in actual
operation.
• Lack of sleep, tiredness, or physical
exhaustion results in lower attention spans,
and this in turn leads to accidents and
injury. When planning your work schedule,
allow plenty of time to perform the work of
cutting and allow plenty of time for rest.
Limit the amount of time over which the
brushcutter is to be used continuously to
somewhere around 30~40 minutes per
session, and take 10~20 minutes of rest
between work sessions. Also try to keep
the total amount of work performed in a
single day under 2 hours or less.
