b) Brushcutter operation
-
Do not the brushcutter for cutting trees
-
Do not cut with dull, cracked or damaged meal blade.
-
Before cutting growth, inspect for obstructions such as boulders, metal stakes or
strands of wire from broken fences. If an obstruction cannot be removed, mark its
location so that you can avoid it with the blade. Rocks and metal will dull or damage
a blade. Wire can catch on the blade head and flap around or be thrown into the air.
-
Use the shoulder harness at all times adjust both harness and harness clamp on the
unit so that the unit hangs a few inches above ground level .The cutting head and
the debris shield should be level in all directions. Harness the unit on the right side of
your body.
-
Cut only with the side of the blade that the debris is moving away from you.
-
If kickback occurs, the blade may be dull, or the material so thick and hard that you
should use other tool instead of this machine.
-
Do not force the blade to cut. Do not change the angle of cut after into the wood.
Avoid using any pressure or leverage which could cause the blade to bind or crack.
Scything weeds
This is cutting by swinging the blade in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field grass
and weeds. Scything should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
Scything can be done in both directions, or just in one way which results in the debris
being thrown away from you.
That is using the side of the blade that it is rotating away from you. Tilt down the blade
slightly on this same side. You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both directions.
After each use, bring cleaning and maintenance to the tool; check for loose fasteners, fuel leaks and
damaged parts, such as cracks in the cutting attachments. Keep the machine in good working condition.
a) Air filter
-
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency. Increase fuel
consumption and allow abrasive particles to pass into the engine. Remove the air
filter as often as necessary to maintain in a clean condition. Light surface dust can
readily be removed by tapping the filter. Heavy deposits should be washed out in
suitable solvent.
-
Remove filter cover by loosening air filter cover knob.
