FAQs

What is a brushcutter used for?

A brushcutter is a powerful handheld tool designed for cutting and clearing vegetation that is impractical for a lawn mower to manage. It is particularly effective for trimming thick weeds, small trees and dense undergrowth, making it ideal for tasks like clearing overgrown areas or areas unsuitable for regular mowing. 

Whilst they are normally used with nylon cord heads, many can also be fitted with sturdy metal blades which can easily slice through tough brambles, woody plants and thick weeds, which other tools might struggle to handle. In addition to heavy duty clearing, brushcutters are also useful for lawn care, particularly in trimming high grass and brushwood in areas that are hard to reach with a regular lawn mower, such as along fences, around trees or on steep slopes. They can also be used to edge along walkways, driveways and garden beds, providing a clean and finished look to the landscape.

Will a brushcutter cut brambles?

Yes, a brushcutter is highly effective at cutting through brambles and other tough vegetation. Unlike trimmers, which are better suited for lighter tasks like cutting grass, brushcutters are designed with more power and durability, making them ideal for tackling the dense, woody stems of brambles. When equipped with sturdy metal blades or specialised cutting tools like brush knives or shredder blades, a brushcutter can slice through brambles efficiently, often working in an up-and-down motion to mulch the material and reduce the chances of the blades getting tangled.

What safety precautions should you take when using a brushcutter?

When using a brushcutter, follow these safety tips. Always wear protective gear like safety glasses, a helmet, ear protection, gloves and steel-toed boots. Choose close-fitting clothing to avoid injuries from debris and chemicals.

Before you start, check the brushcutter and read the manual to understand its operation. Keep an eye on your surroundings, keep the cutting head low, and stop the engine if anyone approaches. Turn off the engine and let the blades stop before making any adjustments, and use gloves to protect your hands. Take regular breaks to manage fatigue from noise and vibrations.

If using a petrol brushcutter, work in a well-ventilated area. Don’t overload the engine; stop if it slows down. Always turn off the engine before leaving the brushcutter unattended.
