Using Your Brush Cutter
WARNING: Using a brush cutter correctly is a technical skill. A brush cutter
used incorrectly can be highly dangerous. The information presented below
is general guidance only. If you are not entirely confident in your ability to
use this tool safely DO NOT USE.
Cutting
• Always maintain a secure footing; if it is not possible to reach the cutting
area from a secure position, do not cut
• Carefully assess the safest way to cut (see Avoiding Kickback section).
Every cut made using a brush cutter is unique, every cut presents its own
safety considerations. Always consider how material may move or fall
when it has been cut. Make sure that material will not fall towards you,
and that the blade will not become trapped
• Use the correct cutting tool for the job. Use the spool for cutting grass
and light brush, or for cutting against a hard edge. Use the blade for
heavy brush cutting
• When using the spool, the cutting line will gradually wear away. To
release more line, run the engine at high speed and bump the spool onto
hard ground
• Always hold the brush cutter securely. Always keep the spool or blade
close to ground level
• With the engine running at full speed, move the spool or blade through
the material to be cut. When cutting grass, move the cutter in a sweeping
arc by pivoting from side to side as you move forwards
• Allow the spool or blade to work steadily through the material. It should
not be necessary to use force to make the cut. Slow cutting indicates a
blunt blade
• Do not allow the blade to contact the ground, or any object other than
that which you intend to cut
• Be aware of the cutting position. Try to cut in such a way that waste
material is not projected towards you
• Release the Trigger Throttle (2) as soon as the cut is complete. Running
the engine at full throttle without a load will cause rapid wear to the
engine
Avoiding kickback
• Kickback is usually caused when the blade teeth 'bite' into a solid object.
The resulting reactionary force may make the brush cutter violently 'kick'
• Always use a sharp blade. Blunt blades are more likely to jam
• Always cut at full speed. At part speed the brush cutter may not be
able to drive the blade through the material, resulting in jamming and
kickback
• Check the cutting area for foreign bodies. Contacting wire, concrete,
brick, or other materials can cause sudden loss of control
• Do not attempt to make cuts through material thicker than recommended
for your blade
• For added control when cutting thicker material, use the left hand edge of
the blade. This will cause the brush cutter to pull away from you, rather
than push towards you
2. Remove the spool and spring
3. Clean all components and inspect for damage. Replace any damaged
items
4. Check eyelets are in their correct position
WARNING: Never operate the trimmer without the Eyelets (1).
5. Thread the new line through the anchor in the spool until the line
lengths are equal. Do not exceed maximum capacity of spool
6. Holding the Spool (5) with the line clamp slots uppermost, wind
the line clockwise in the spool using a finger to keep the two lines
separate
7. Lock the two ends of the line in the line clamp slots
8. Place the Spring (4) over the Arbor Bolt (3)
9. With the line clamp slots facing downwards into the housing, thread
the ends of the line through the Eyelets (1) in the housing. Do not allow
the line to become caught under the spool
10. Place the Bump Button (6) in the centre of the spool
11. Replace the Cover (7) by aligning the tabs and then twisting so that the
tabs engage with the slots in the cover
12. Pull the line free from the line clamp slots
13. Check that a maximum 100 – 125mm of line extends equally from
each eyelet. Trim line as necessary

parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a cloth and detergent
• The fuel tank contains a filter that should be regularly cleaned with
fresh petrol
• The air filter should be removed and cleaned regularly. To access the
filter, undo the retaining screw on the side of the brush cutter body,
and remove the cover. The air filter element should be cleaned using
household detergent, dried, and re-oiled with regular machine oil.
Reassemble before using the brush cutter
Storage
• Allow the brush cutter to cool fully before preparing for storage
• Drain out all fuel and oil
• If the brush cutter is to be stored for an extended period, wipe over all
metal surfaces with an oiled cloth. Remove the spark plug, and pour a
small amount of oil into the cylinder. Replace spark plug, and pull the
starting handle to distribute oil
• Store the brush cutter in a clean, dry, place away from heat and direct
sunlight. Ensure that the brush cutter is stored where children cannot
gain access
Recycling and disposal of petrol
engine powered tools, fuel and oil
• Tools powered by petrol based internal combustion engines must not be
disposed of with household waste. Such tools should be taken to your
local recycling centre and disposed of according to current environmental
protection requirements
• Petrol, oil and petrol-oil-mixtures are hazardous waste and have to be
treated as such. Oil and fuel must not be disposed of with household
waste. Improper disposal may be regarded a criminal offence in your

Consignes de sécurité relatives
aux débroussailleuses et
coupe-bordures
AVERTISSEMENT : les vapeurs d’essence sont inflammables,
NE FUMEZ PAS lors de la manipulation et de l’utilisation d’un
appareil à essence.
• Inspectez toujours la zone de coupe et prenez note des objets cachés, du
grillage, des câbles, etc. ainsi que des dangers potentiels.
• Portez toujours un équipement de protection approprié. Il est
indispensable de porter gants, lunettes ou protection du visage, masque
anti-poussières, casque antibruit, casque dur et vêtements résistants.
• Evaluez votre propre condition physique. L’utilisation d’une
débroussailleuse, même s’il s’agit d’un modèle plus petit, est très
physique. Ne commencez pas un travail si vous n’êtes pas certain d’être
suffisamment résistant pour le terminer. Evitez de travailler si vous êtes
fatigué, souffrant ou sous l’influence de drogue ou d’alcool.
• Avant de commencer la coupe, vérifiez l’absence de toute personne
alentours. Eloignez toujours les enfants et les animaux.
• Ne pas utiliser l’appareil en zone mouillée ou par temps humide.
• N’utilisez pas l’appareil si ses protections sont endommagées ou
manquantes.
• L’appareil doit uniquement être utilisé dans une position verticale, le fil ou
la lame étant près du sol.
• Avancez lentement lorsque vous portez cet outil. L’herbe ou les
broussailles fraîchement coupées sont glissantes et peuvent provoquer
un trébuchage.
• Utilisez uniquement un fil nylon pour coupe-bordure adapté et des lames
spécifiques sous peine de risque grave.
• Ne jamais approcher les bras ou les jambes près de la lame lors de la
coupe. Restez toujours à distance raisonnable de la tête de coupe et dans
une position stable.
• Si la débroussailleuse se bloque, éteignez-la immédiatement. Attendez
que le moteur s’arrête complètement avant d’essayer d’enlever le
blocage.
• Gardez à l’esprit que la machine peut subir un recul et vienne rebondir
contre l’utilisateur. Une utilisation correcte et un entretien convenable
réduiront considérablement ce risque.
• Ne travaillez jamais seul. Assurez-vous toujours que quelqu’un se trouve
à proximité pour vous aider en cas d’urgence.
• Arrêtez toujours l’appareil avant de traverser une route ou un chemin
gravillonné.
