56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION COMMERCIAL BRUSHCUTTER — BCX4500
15
Hold the brushcutter with both hands on the right side
of your body. Keep a firm grip with both hands while
operating the machine. The blade or the trimmer head
should be parallel to the ground at a proper cutting
distance without the need for the operator to bend over.
USING THE BRUSHCUTTER
To cut wild growth and scrub, lower the rotating blade
down onto the ground to achieve a chopping effect. Use
the brush cutter like a scythe (sweep it to the right and
left) at ground level. Do not use the cutting attachment
above waist height.
WARNING: The higher the cutting attachment is off
the ground, the greater the risk of injury from cuttings
being thrown sideways.
WARNING: When cutting young stands or other
woody materials up to 2 cm in diameter, use the left
side of the blade to avoid blade thrust situations. Do not
attempt to cut woody material with a larger diameter,
since the blade may catch or jerk the brushcutter forward.
This may cause damage to the blade or the brushcutter
or loss of control of the brushcutter, resulting in personal
injury.
WARNING: Thrown parts may seriously injure the
operator or bystander. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
it is essential to take the following precautions:
◾ Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects such as
stones, rocks, or pieces of metal.
◾ Never cut wood or shrubs with a stem diameter of
more than 2 cm.
◾ Inspect the blade at a regular short interval for signs of
damage. Do not continue working with a damaged blade.
◾ Have the blade resharpened regularly (when it has
dulled noticeably) and balanced if necessary (should be
performed by a qualified service technician).
BLADE THRUST
Exercise extreme caution when using this unit. Blade thrust
is the reaction that may occur when the spinning blade
contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause
the blade to stop for an instant and suddenly “thrust” the
unit away from the object that was hit. This reaction can
be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control
of the unit. Blade thrust can occur without warning if the
blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur
in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.
For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut
with the brushcutter from the right to the left. In the event
an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
practice could minimize the blade thrust reaction.
Before each use check for damaged/worn parts
Check the blade, guard, and bike handle and replace
any parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in
any away. The edge of the blade can dull over time. It is
recommended that you turn over the blade to extend the
life of the blade and periodically sharpen it (performed by a
qualified service technician) or replace it with a new blade
when necessary.
Clean the brushcutter after each use
See the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning instructions.
WARNING: Ensure the blade has come to a complete
stop before cleaning or servicing the brushcutter. Failure
to comply could result in possible serious personal injury.
Check for blockage of the 3-tooth blade
To prevent blockage, keep the blade clean. Remove grass
clippings, leaves, dirt and any other accumulated debris
before and after each use. When blockage happens, stop
the brushcutter and remove the battery. Then remove any
grass that may have wrapped itself around the motor shaft
or the blade.
STARTING/STOPPING THE MACHINE
WARNING: Dress properly to reduce the risk of
injury when operating this machine. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Wear eye and ear/hearing protection.
Wear heavy duty, long trousers, boots and gloves. Do not
wear short trousers, sandals or go barefoot.
To start the machine (Fig.H).
1. Move the lock-off lever up until it completely fits into
the groove, hold it in that position and then press the
trigger switch to start.
2. The rotational speed of the cutting unit is controlled
by the trigger switch. More pressure on the trigger
results in higher speed; less pressure on the trigger
results in lower speed. Adjust the speed to suit the
task at hand.
NOTICE: The motor starts only when the lock-off lever is
moved into the groove and the trigger switch is depressed
at the same time.
To stop the machine
Move the machine away from the cutting area and release
the trigger switch to stop it.
WARNING: Always remove the battery pack from the
machine during work breaks and after finishing work.
