When working on slopes, always be sure of your
footing, always work across the face of slopes, never
up or down and exercise extreme caution when
changing direction. This reduces the risk of loss
of control, slipping and falling which may result in
personal injury.
•
Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter, line
or blade when the machine is operating. Before you
start the machine, make sure the cutter, line or blade
is not contacting anything. A moment of inattention
while operating the machine may result in injury to
yourself or others.

helps prevent unintended cutter or blade contact and
enables better control of the machine in unexpected

tension, be alert for spring back. When the tension
in the wood fibres is released, the brush or sapling

saplings. The slender material may catch the blade
and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

cutters, lines or blades and other hazardous moving
parts while they are still in motion. This reduces the
risk of injury from moving parts.

machine, make sure all power switches are offand
the power cord is disconnected. Unexpected starting
of the machine while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.

Carry the machine with the machine switched off
and away from your body. Proper handling of the
machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with a moving cutter, line or blade.
•
When transporting or storing the machine, always
fit the cover on metal blades. Proper handling of
the machine will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the blade.
