E1,E2. Assembly of safety guard
Fit the safety guard (
A
) against the gearbox (
I
) position
the lower clamp (
G
) in the housing under the shield and
the upper clamp (
F
) over the shaft. Insert and tighten the
screws (
H
).
E1. Safety guard extension (exclusively for use with
nylon string head)
The extension (
B
) should be installed only for use with
the nylon string head, with the aid of the string cutter
blade (
L
), that regulates the length of the string and
thus the cutting diameter.
For correct assembly see the illustration on the cover
and perform the following sequence of steps:
Insert the extension (
B
) on the safety guard (
A
) at the
reference notches (
C
), and fasten with the screws (
D
),
then apply the string cutter blade (
L
) with the cutting
edge facing towards the outside of the shield, and
fasten it with the screw (
E
) (Make sure the screws are
tightened all the way (
E
) and are not loosened by the
vibrations. If necessary, tighten them again).
Assembly of nylon string head and blade
Apply the proper guard depending on whether you plan to
use the grass blade or nylon string head (see chapter:
Application of protective devices on cutter”).
F1.
Apply the nylon string head as shown in the
illustration: a) Protection flange b) Upper plate c) Guard
d) Nylon string head. Tighten by turning
counterclockwise.
F2.
As you tighten, hold the nylon string head and plate
still and insert the wrench or screwdriver supplied in the
holes in the plate and gearbox; first turn the plate until
the two holes match.
F3.
Apply the blade as shown in the illustration: a)
Protection flange b) Upper plate with blade centering c)
Guard d) Blade with wording and direction arrow facing
upward e) Lower plate f) Fixed cup g) Blade fastening
nut.
F4.
Make sure the hole in the blade is perfectly coupled
with the centering collar on the upper plate. Tighten by
turning counterclockwise. As you tighten, hold the
blade-plate assembly still by inserting the wrench or
screwdriver supplied in the holes provided.
F5. String head
The nylon string head is used to cut grass and weeds
along borders or in zones with obstacles like walls, fences
or trees. It can operate in a very narrow or uneven zone.
The nylon string cuts the grass neatly without damaging
the bark of the trees or causing violent impact such as
due to the contact of a rigid blade with a hard surface.
Supply of the nylon string - A
During cutting, the nylon string wears naturally causing
an increase in the speed of the engine and a reduced
cutting capacity. When this happens, to bring out more
string bump the head against the ground: release the
throttle trigger to reduce the engine speed to less than
4000 rpm. Tap gently on the ground with the button as
shown in the figure and the string will come out
automatically. Accelerate again. If the string does not
come out make sure there is still some left and try again.
E. Assembly of safety guard
ƽ
CAUTION!
If you are using the grass cutting
blade, remove the extension (B) on the guard (A).
F. Usable cutting tools and their installation on the machine
ƽ
CAUTION!
The following are the only cutting
devices that can be installed on your machine:
a) Nylon string head
b) Grass blade with a maximum of 8 teeth.
Each of these devices requires the installation of
a special guard. Follow the instructions for correct
assembly carefully. Fasten the cutting tools
correctly with all their parts in the order indicated
so as to prevent severe injuries to the operators,
other people and animals.
ƽ
CAUTION!
Use grass blades or nylon string
heads with the MAXIMUM ROTATION SPEED
(stenciled on them by the manufacturer) of at
least 10.500 min
-1
.
ƽ
CAUTION!
Any operations involving the cutting
devices and their guards should be done with the
engine off.
ƽ
CAUTION!
If you turn the machine over to
facilitate assembly of the cutting tools, make sure
the cap on the fuel tank is securely fastened and
there are no leaks of fuel.
ƽ
CAUTION!
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF
ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES AND
REPLACEMENTS, WHICH CAN BE
PURCHASED FROM AUTHORIZED
DISTRIBUTORS. THE USE OF OTHER
ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENTS
INCREASES THE DANGER OF ACCIDENTS
AND IN THIS CASE THE MANUFACTURER
HAS NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES TO
PERSONS AND/OR PROPERTY.
ƽ
F3. CAUTION!
Do not use the nylon string head
guard extension (H) with metal blades.
ƽ
CAUTION!
The string cutting blade housed in the
plastic shield will cut the nylon string to optimum
length; a string that is too long reduces the
rotation speed of the engine and interferes with
cutting efficiency, as well as increasing the risk of
injury.
