Description / Abstract:
The requirements of this Standard1 apply to:
a) portable hand-supported gasoline powered grass
trimmers2 intended for use with flexible nonmetallic
line, or other types of nonmetallic cutting attachments, and
b) portable, hand-supported, gasoline-powered brushcutters
intended for use with cutting blades and other cutting
attachments.
NOTE - If a grass trimmer is marketed by the manufacturer as
convertible to a brushcutter, then the converted unit shall comply
with requirements for brushcutters and vice-versa.
A convertible unit may be marketed as a grass trimmer or a
brushcutter without including the devices required for conversion
in the packaging, provided the operator manual clearly addresses
the need to acquire and use the required conversion devices and the
manufacturer makes such devices available as optional
equipment.
1) Metric conversions are shown in brackets and are
included for information only.
2) Trimmers and Brushcutters with back mounted power
units are not covered by this standard.
