Brush Cutter Safety Guide

Brush Cutter Safety Guide

Safety guide.

Brush cutter safety guide for PPE, blade use, working distance, stones, slopes, fuel handling and operator checks.

A brush cutter is an open cutting tool

Unlike many farm machines, the cutting head is exposed near the operator's legs and the ground. Stones, wire and blade kickback are real hazards. Safety must be checked before every start.

Clear the work area

Walk the area first and remove wire, stones, bottles, rope and irrigation parts. Keep people and animals away. Never cut toward another person.

Use the guard and harness

The guard, harness and handle position are not optional. They control debris, reduce fatigue and keep the head at a safer working angle.
