Webb WEBC26 - Operating the Brush Cutter; General Use and Safety

CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
 Always keep a firm grip with both hands during operaon
 The machine should be held at a comfortable posion, with the trigger handle at hip height. Adjust the
harness to suit.
 Maintain a firm foong in case the machine hits a solid object & kicks back
 Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass wrapping around the sha housing & strong head, which
may cause overheang and damage. If grass becomes entangled, stop the engine completely and remove
the grass.
The line tri
mmer head rotates in an ANTI-CLOCKWISE direcon. The knife, located on the le side of the guard,
ensures your nylon line is operang at the correct length for opmum trimming.
NOTE: Nylon line which is too long or the incorrect diameter (Recommended 2.5mm), will cause excess wear
to the engine and clutch components, not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
It is recommended that the head is lted, so the nylon line cung circle is moving away from the user and
guard/shield. This will enab
le debris to be thrown away from the user.
TRIMMING
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to cut. Tilt the head slowly to direct debris
away from you. If cung up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree, approach from an angle where any debris
ricocheng off the barrier, will fly away from you. Move the line head slowly unl the grass is cut right up the
barrier, but do not jam (over-feed) the line into the barrier
If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence, be careful to fe
ed only up to the fence. If you go too far,
the line will snap off around the fence.
Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a me. Place the trimmer line head near the boom
of the weed, never high up, which could cause the weed to chaer and catch the line. Rather than cut the
weed right through, just use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
SCALPING AND EDGING
Both of these are done with the line head lted at a steep angle.
Scalping is rem
oving top growth leaving the earth bare.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a path or driveway.
During edging and scalping, hold the unit at a steep angle and in a posion where the debris and any dislodged
dirt and stones will not come back towards you, even if it ricochets off the hard surface.
WARNING
DO NOT use a metal blade for scalping or edging
WARNING
DO NOT trim any area where there maybe strands of fencing wire. Do not cut where you cannot see what the
cung tool is cu
ng.
OPERATION
DANGER
All model line trimmers & brushcuers can throw small stones, metal or small objects as well as material
being cut. Do not allow anyone to enter the operang DANGER ZONE with you. The danger zone is an area
15 metres in radius
Insist that persons in the RISK ZONE beyond the danger zone wear eye protecon from thrown objects. If
the unit must be used where there are unprotected people, operate at a low throle speed to reduce the
risk of thrown objects.
DANGER ZONE WIT
HIN 15 METRES - RISK ZONE GREATER THAN 15 METRES
GENERAL USE
WARNING
Prior to using the machine, ensure all hardware (bolts, screws & nuts) are securely ghtened.
 Operate the trigger with your right hand & hold the D-Handle with your le hand. (WEBC26 Only)
 Operate the trigger on the right handle and hold the le handle for stability (WEBC33 & WEBC43)
 The trigger increases and decreases the power of the engine to the aachment, increasing the
revoluon/reciprocaon of
the aachment.
WORKING PLAN
 Limit the amount of me the product is used connuously to a maximum of 40 minutes per session.
 Leave the machine to rest between sessions for between 10-20 minutes.
 Total amount of work performed per day with the machine, should be limited to 120 minutes maximum.
 Connuous use of the machine can cause “Repeve Stress Injury (RSI)”. If you feel discomfort, redness or
swelling of your hands and fingers or any other body part, consult your doctor.
 Check local reg
ulaons for sound level and hours of operaon constraints.
 Never transport the machine, whilst the engine is running.
