Brush Cutter Safety Notes
Brush Cutter Harnesses and Handles
- Harnesses should be issued to an operator and not shared. (Ensures ownership and removes the necessity for frequent readjustments.)
- Inspect harness for damage (cuts and stitching).
- Adjust harness so that the operator will have a comfortable stance while operating. i.e. so that the brush cutter is being hung at a comfortable height and is balanced.
- Adjust handles so that the elbows are slightly bent.
General Safety During Operation
- Ensure a safe working distance from other personnel. (Flying objects.)
- Operate at full speed.
- Use leg muscles to move the brush cutter rather than twisting.
- Never leave the brush cutter running unattended.
Refuelling
- Allow at least two minutes for the brush cutter to cool down prior to re-fuelling.
- Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Spilled fuel must be immediately cleaned up.
- Move the brush cutter at least 3 metres from the fuelling point before starting the engine.
