6.2.2 Machine operating test
Action
1. Start the machine
(par. 6.3 );
2. Simultaneously
activate the throttle
control lever (Fig.
6.A) and the throttle
safety lever (Fig. 6.B);
3. release the throttle
control lever (Fig. 6.A)
and throttle safety
lever (Fig. 6.B).
Press only the throttle
control lever (Fig. 6.A).
If any of the results fail to match
the indications provided in the tables
below, do not use the machine! Take
it to a service centre to be checked
and repaired if necessary.
6.3 START-UP
1. Make sure the cutting means is not
touching the ground or any other object;
2. Fit the battery inside its housing
correctly (par. 7.2.3);
3. Simultaneously activate the
throttle control lever (Fig. 6.A) and
throttle safety lever (Fig. 6.B).
6.4 OPERATION
NOTE Before tackling a mowing job
for the first time, get to know the machine,
learn the most suitable cutting techniques,
grip the machine firmly and make the
movements required by the job.
To use the machine proceed as follows:
No damage to the casing,
no liquid leakage
No signs of damage
or wear
The levers must move
freely and not be forced.
No abnormal vibrations.
No abnormal sound
Result
1. The cutting means
must not move.
2. The cutting means
should move.
3. The levers should
return automatically
and rapidly to the
neutral position and
the cutting means
should stop.
The throttle control lever
remains blocked.
– always hold the machine firmly with
two hands, using the cutting unit
below the operator's belt level.
NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
NOTE Battery power reserve (and
therefore the cuttable vegetation area
before recharging is required) depends on
many factors described in (par. 7.2.1).
6.4.1 Work techniques
Use ONLY nylon lines. The use of
metal lines, plastic coated metal lines and/
or lines that are not suitable for the head
can cause serious injuries and wounds.
a. Cutting motion (Scything)
– Make sure the cutting means is in
grass trimmer mode (par. 6.1.2);
– proceed at a regular pace, with a
circular motion similar to a traditional
scythe, without tilting the cutting line
head during the operation (Fig. 8).
First try cutting at the right height in a small
area, so as to then achieve a uniform cutting
height keeping the cutting line head at a
constant distance from the ground.
For heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the
cutting line head to the left by about 30°.
Do not work in this way if there
is the possibility of causing objects
to be thrown, which could harm
people, animals or cause damage.
b. Precision cutting (Trimming)
Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the
lower part of the cutting line head does not
touch the ground and the cutting line is at the
required point, always keeping the cutting
means at a distance from the operator.
c. Cutting near fences/foundations
– move the cutting line head slowly
towards fences, posts, rocks, walls, etc.
without hitting them hard (Fig. 9).
