Busan Agricultural Technology Center to Conduct First-Half Brush Cutter Maintenance, Inspection, and Safe Operation Training

내용

Busan Metropolitan City Agricultural Technology Center (hereinafter referred to as the “Center”) announced that it will conduct “Brush Cutter Maintenance, Inspection, and Safe Operation Training” from June 25 to 26 to prevent agricultural machinery accidents during the peak summer mowing season and to enhance farmers’ self-maintenance capabilities.

The training will be conducted over two days, June 25 and 26, with two sessions each day at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., for a total of four sessions. The program will be held at the Agricultural Machinery Rental Center (1285 Gonghang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Busan) for 80 participants, including farmers and urban residents. Agricultural machinery instructors and professional repair specialists will provide both theoretical instruction and safe operation training.

Key training topics include an introduction to the agricultural machinery rental program and usage guidelines; brush cutter structure and maintenance methods; inspection procedures for major components such as electrical systems, fuel systems, and cutting blades; pre- and post-operation inspection procedures; worksite safety checks and proper use of protective equipment; safety rules during mowing operations; and emergency response procedures.

A brush cutter is a tool that uses an engine or motor to rotate a blade or line for cutting grass and vegetation, employing one or more rotating blades (or reels) to cut vegetation to a uniform height.

In particular, participants will bring their own brush cutters for inspection and maintenance, enabling them to assess the condition of their equipment and acquire practical maintenance skills that can be immediately applied in the field.

Any resident who owns a brush cutter may participate in the training. Applications will be accepted beginning today (June 15) at 10:00 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis through in-person registration or by telephone (051-970-3751~3).

After registering in advance, participants should visit the Agricultural Machinery Rental Center on their assigned training date with a valid identification card and the brush cutter they currently use (one machine per person).

Yu Mi-bok, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “Most agricultural machinery accidents can be prevented through proper pre-operation inspections and correct usage practices. We hope this training will raise safety awareness among residents and farmers and provide an opportunity to strengthen their ability to manage agricultural machinery on their own.”
