What is a brush cutter?

A brush cutter is a machine for cutting grass and branches. It uses an engine and a battery as power. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from tending gardens to mowing undergrowth in forestry. The most common type has a shoulder belt and you move the blade while holding the handle, but there are also hand-push types with wheels and a handle. There is a national qualification for "brush cutter operator". This certification is not required for personal use of small lawn mowers, but it is required for commercial mowing.

Application of brush cutter

It can be used in a wide range of applications, such as cutting weeds at home, grass in fields, bamboo grass and undergrowth in forests. Depending on the application, engine displacement, power, and blade type differ. Small and inexpensive models are now on sale, making it easy for ordinary households to own one, but there is a risk of injury and accidents, so caution is required when using it. In order to prevent injuries caused by contact with the blade itself and accidents caused by stepping stones (injury, damage to car glass due to stepping stones, etc.), knowledge and equipment for safety are essential.
