The 3-point blade is suitable for cutting brushwood and
small shrubs up to 2 cm in diameter. When the blade
becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend the life of
the blade. Do not sharpen the blade.

using blades to ensure safe operation. Read the
safety information for safe operation using the
blade, refer to“Specific Safety Rules for Brushcut

such as glass, stones, concrete, fencing, wire, wood,
