Always hold the brushcutter firmly with
both hands. Wrap your fingers tightly
around the handles, keeping the
handles cradled between your thumb
and forefinger. Keep your hands in this
position, to have your brushcutter under
control at all times. Make sure your
brushcutter handles and grip are in
good condition and free of moisture,
pitch, oil or grease.

Never attempt to operate any brush-
cutter with one hand. Loss of control of
the brushcutter resulting in serious or
fatal injury may result.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury
resulting from loss of control and/or
contact with the cutting tool, make sure
your unit is equipped with the proper
handle and harness for the type of
cutting attachment being used (see
chart in chapter on "Selecting the
Cutting Tool").
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling.
Before cutting, inspect the
area for stones, glass,
pieces of metal, trash or
other solid objects. The
cutting attachment could throw objects
of this kind.
To reduce the
risk of injury
from thrown
objects and
blade contact,
never operate a brushcutter without a
properly mounted deflector. Keep the
deflector (and the skirt where appropri-
ate) adjusted properly at all times (see
chapter on mounting the various cutting
tools of your owner’s manual). Do not
overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.

This brushcutter is normally to be used
at ground level with the cutting attach-
ment parallel to the ground. Use of a
brushcutter above ground level or with
the cutting attachment perpendicular to
the ground may increase the risk of
injury, since the cutting attachment is
more fully exposed and the brushcutter
may be more difficult to control. Never
use your brushcutter as a hedge
trimmer.
