• Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Use of this tool requires gloves, protective shoes,
eye or face protection, dust mask, ear defenders, hard hat, and sturdy clothing
• Assess your own physical condition. Using a brush cutter or line strimmer, even a smaller model,
is physically demanding. Do not start a job unless you are confident that you are fit and strong
enough to complete it. Never use a brush cutter/line strimmer when tired, unwell, or under the
influence of any kind of drugs or alcohol

work

back from the cutting area
• If the brush cutter jams, switch off immediately. Allow the engine to completely stop before
