Brush cutter - kickback
causes and how to avoid
them with a 3-tooth blade
In the event of a kick-
back, the operator will
feel a powerful blow
from the combination
machine. This may lead
to losing control of the
device and serious inju-
ry. You can avoid kick-
backs through caution
and proper technique.
While working with the 3- tooth
blade there is a risk of kickback
if the blade edge hits an obstacle
(stone, wood).
• Hold the device with both hands.
• Make sure there are no obstacles
on the ground and do not use the
3-tooth blade near fences, metal
posts or similar.
Additional safety
instructions
• Hold the power tool only by the
insulated gripping surfaces as
the cutting blade may come into
contact with concealed power
lines. Contact with a live wire
can also cause a charge in me-
tal parts of the appliance and
result in an electric shock.
• Carefully inspect the surface to
be cut, and remove all wires
