If petrol overflows, immediately clean any spilled fuel.
The combustion engine should only be switched on
after the surface dirty with petrol is cleaned. Any
ignition attempt shall be avoided until the petrol vapors
have volatilized (dry with cloth).
If the petrol has come into contact with clothing, it must
be changed.
Brush cutter transport
Carry the brush cutter only when the engine is off.
Before moving it, stop the engine and wait for the
cutting accessories to stop completely.
Always transport the equipment when the engine is
cold and without fuel. This prevents petrol spillage
during transport.
Always fasten the equipment when transporting it and
install the blade protection guard.
Before you start working
Make sure that the equipment is only used by people
who are familiar with the instruction manual.
Before starting the brush cutter, check the fuel
leak tightness system, particularly visible parts
such as tank, tank cap, gaskets and carburetor primer
bulb. In the event of leakage or damage, do not start
the combustion engine. Have the brush cutter repaired
by an official dealer.
Pay attention to the area where the device will be used
and check for obstacles (rocks, tree stumps, roots,
trenches, etc.), objects (reeled wires, metal parts) or
loose stones. Not being possible to remove these
objects or obstacles, mark them so that they do not
come into contact with the cutting accessories when
using the machine.
Before start-up:
▪ Carry out an inspection to ensure that the unit is
properly assembled and that safety issues and
performance are ensured;
▪ Check if the spark plug cap is connected to the spark
plug;
▪ Check if the safety devices are in good conditions and
working properly. Never use the equipment if the
safety devices are missing, damaged or worn out;
▪ Check that the shoulder harness strap and fastening
accessories are in perfect condition and properly
assembled;
▪ Replace defective parts, as all other worn and
damaged ones;
▪ After assembling the accessories and before using
the device, you must run a test in maximum speed at
no load for a certain time. Check for misalignments in
the moving parts or any other condition that may
affect the operation of the brush cutter. Check that
all moving parts rotate smoothly and without
unusual noises;
▪ Perform all adjustments and work necessary. If you
have any questions or difficulties, contact your VITO
official dealer.
▪ Observe the local regulations on the hours when it is
allowed to use brush cutters with a combustion
engine and the permitted noise level.
While operating
Keep third parties away from the brush cutter's
area of operation, at least 15m away. Never work
while animals or people, especially children, are in the
danger zone. During work, dirt and stones can be
projected at high speed which can hurt you.
Keep the safety distance from objects (vehicles and
glasses) to avoid property damage.
When working two or more people simultaneously in
the same area, safety distances must be maintained to
prevent accidents and injuries.
Work only in daylight or with good artificial lighting. Do
not use the appliance at night or when it is not possible
to have a clear view of the work area.
Never use the brush cutter with adverse metrological
conditions such as dense fog, rain or strong wind,
storms or lightning.
Walk, never run during operation and look carefully to
the area where you will use the blade and the mowing
head with nylon line. You should also never cut
the grass walking backwards as you could trip.
While using the appliance, place yourself into a stable
position and keep balance. Do not use the appliance in
slippery, irregular or unstable surfaces, or in a lumpy
terrain.
