Ideally, brush cutters are mainly applicable to clearing grass, weed and small bushes. It is a robust machine as compared to grass trimmer and comes with a range of engines/electric/battery. For high-density vegetation, a more powerful machine is required. You can perform functions like trimming grass, clearing shrubs as well as shredding smaller trees if you have the right accessories. In order to increase its operating range, a more elongate shaft can be attached to the brush cutter.

• Standard technique- A right-to-left cutting motion is recommended as the cutting attachment rotates counter-clockwise. The best part is that the trimmings fall on the cut area.
• Trimming for long grass-Two passes are recommended when working in very long grass or tough weeds. Firstly you need initial access, right to left, cut the top of the grass as a lower pass, and eradicate the remaining grass.
• Mowing on a hill is the strip method- Mow a slope is the strip method which is the right way. You can return along the swath by cutting a strip parallel to the hill and then cut the next strip above and repeat.
• Trimming the obstacles- The small trees/bushes without damaging them, the mowing line created by the trimmer is the best way of navigating right up.

• Chose a machine that is powerful enough for the vegetation which you want to clear.
• It is essential to select a brush cutter which is suitable for the work you plan to do comfortably for professional use besides its long service life.
• To avoid an uneven load from being placed on your back, the handlebar should be placed at an angle relative to the shaft.
• The machine must have excellent vibration to have the energy to work for a long time without getting stressed.
• For more comfortable transport and storage, the handlebar must be able to be angled and folded down.

When using a brush cutter, always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a visor. A brush cutter has equipment that may seem to be at a fair distance from the operator but there is still risk of loose stones, branches etc.

You should be protected from prolonged noise even though the engines have silencers. A shirt or jacket that allows good movement will generally be sufficient when clearing brush and grass, heavy-duty trousers. Along with deep tread soles that give a firm foothold on slippery, newly cut grass and rocky, the uneven ground should always be worn with heavy-duty shoes, protective footwear, or strong boots.
