CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
– IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR with use of the
brush cutter, practise the procedures with
the engine switched off and the switch in
the OFF "STOP" position.
– ALWAYS FREE THE WORK AREA of objects
such as cans, bottles, stones, etc.. Hitting
these objects can cause serious injury to
the operator or others present and damage
the brush cutter. If you accidentally knock
against an object, SWITCH OFF THE
ENGINE IMMEDIATELY and inspect the
cutter. Never work with a damaged or
faulty brush cutter.
– ALWAYS CUT OR MOW AT FULL SPEED.
Never work at low speed, either at the start
of or during operations.
– DO NOT USE the brush cutter for purposes
other than to cut grass. DO NOT CUT
above knee level.
– DO NOT USE the brush cutter with other
people or animals nearby. Keep a minimum
distance of 15 metres between the opera-
tor and other people or animals when cut-
ting or moving around. During more diffi-
cult mowing operations keep a minimum
distance of 30 metres between the opera-
tor and other people or animals.
– IF THE BRUSH CUTTER IS USED ON
SLOPES remain below the cutting unit. DO
NOT USE THE BRUSH CUTTER if there is
even the minimum risk of slipping or over-
balancing.
– DO NOT USE the brush cutter CONTINU-
OUSLY, for lengthy times. PAUSE NOW
AND AGAIN, switching off the engine.
LINE HEAD
WARNING!
!
DO NOT USE lines other
than nylon (i.e. metal wire, plasticated metal
wire) and/or that are unsuitable for the head
in use. This could cause serious injuries and
lesions.
WARNING!
!
head, the front guard must be fitted with a
line-cutting blade. Fit the bottom band pro-
vided with the line-cutting blade to the guard.
Do not use very worn heads: some compo-
nents could become detached and endanger
the operator.
The brush cutter you have purchased is
equipped with a "Tap & Go" head.
To release new line: with the engine at full speed,
When you use the line
tap the line head against the ground (fig. 9). Line
is automatically released. The blade cuts excess
line.
IMPORTANT
grass wound around the brush cutter to prevent
overheating of the drive shaft. Grass caught
around the shaft can become wound under the
guard of the grass cutting head, reducing the
tool rotation speed (fig. 10). Remove any grass
caught up using a screwdriver or other similar
tool to allow the shaft to cool correctly and the
tool to rotate freely.
When the brush cutter is correctly equipped with
the guard and line head, it can eliminate tall
grass and unsightly weeds in front of fences,
walls, foundations, pavements, around trees,
etc.. This brush cutter may also be used to elim-
inate unwanted vegetation from fields, for easy
preparation of the garden or to clear a particular
area of the garden completely.
NOTE
cutting around pavements, foundations, walls,
etc. can cause above average wear on the line.
• Cut / movement (fig. 11)
Walk at a regular pace, with a side to side move-
ment, similar to traditional scything. Do not tilt
the line head during operation. Try cutting a
small area at the correct height. Keep the line
head at a constant distance from the ground to
obtain an even cutting height
• Precision cut
Position the edge trimmer straight, slightly tilted
until the lower part of the head touches the
ground and the cutting line is in the required
point. Always cut away from the operator. Do not
move the edge trimmer by bringing the line head
towards the operator.
• Cutting beside fences / foundations (fig. 12)
Bring the line head towards fences, posts, rocks,
walls, etc. slowly, without hitting them hard.
If the line comes into contact with rocks, walls,
foundations etc. it may break or wear. If the line
gets caught up in fencing it may become sev-
ered, breaking suddenly.
