Keep your hands as far from the turning blades as possible. For example, make sure that they have stopped spinning before you reach in to clear stuck vegetation.
You also should make sure that other people and animals are at least 10m away, and clear the area of visible foreign objects.
Be careful of small hard objects that can be thrown up, such as stones. It\u2019s not a bad idea to wear knee-high boots or shin protectors, and a pair of goggles.
Watch out for any signs of fuel spillage and sparking. Don\u2019t use your brushcutter if you see these.
Inspect the blades before use, to make sure they don\u2019t have any cracks or worn mountings that could cause them to fly off.
Don\u2019t use a brushcutter in the rain.
If you use your brushcutter often, consider getting some earplugs to avoid any hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
