Use of the manual
• Anyone who uses the machine should have read the
entire manual with extreme care.
• All users should be familiar with the operations for use
of the machine under absolutely safe conditions as
described in this manual, and should be instructed in
the proper cutting techniques to use, possibly by
practical demonstration.
• Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar
with these instructions and are not sufficiently trained
to use the brush cutter. Local regulations may specify
an age limit for users.
• Keep this manual with the machine when selling or
lending it, to enable the future users to familiarize
themselves with the product and instructions for safe
use.
• All parts of the manual are equally important for the
purpose of preventing injury to the operator or dam-
age to the machine. To facilitate your reading, section
B is divided into parts that can be called up in the rest
of the manual, marked with the "CAUTION" symbol
followed by the number of the corresponding para-
graph, to concentrate your attention on the main
safety procedures related to a particular situation.
Prior to use
• Respect of the procedures described in this manual
does not eliminate the risks of accidents but does
reduce the probability of their occurring or the effect
of the damage.
• If you have never used a brush cutter before, practice
using it for a while before actually starting to work with
it.
• The operator or user is responsible for any damages
to third parties or their property, and for any dangers
to which they may be subject.
• Do not use this machine for any other purpose than
that for which it was designed, using the proper cut-
ting devices as indicated in the instructions.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired, in poor health
or under the effects of alcohol or medication that
could affect your reactions.
• Make sure you know how to stop the engine and
blade if necessary (see section entitled "Starting and
stopping the engine").
Inspect the machine carefully before every use, in
case of violent impact or signs of malfunction.
Make sure the machine is correctly assembled, and all
its parts are working properly. Make sure the screws are
all in place and securely tightened. Check operation of
the accelerator control block and make sure there is no
leakage of fuel. Check that the cutting tool does not
move with the motor running at idle speed. Make sure
the transmission pipe is properly fastened to the motor
joint and the line cutter head or blade are correctly fas-
tened with the screw fastening the blade fully tightened.
Replace any accessories (blades, nylon string
heads, guards) which show damage or cracks or
appear excessively worn. Have your Authorized Service
Center replace any damaged parts. For nylon string
heads, use only strings made of flexible material recom-
mended by the manufacturer. For example, you should
never use metal wire because it could cause serious
injuries to people, property and animals. An unsuitable
string could break and turn into a very dangerous mis-
sile. In mounting the cutting utensils follow the instruc-
tions in the chapter entitled "Usable cutting tools and
their installation on the machine". ABSOLUTELY DO
NOT USE THE BRUSH CUTTER IF THE SPECIFIC
SAFETY GUARD FOR THE CUTTING DEVICE IN USE
IS NOT SECURELY FASTENED (see chapter
"Assembly/disassembly"). Failure to follow this rule can
expose you to serious danger such as:
• possible contact with rotating and cutting parts;
• possible contact with flying debris.
Never use a brush cutter without its safety pole guard
correctly in place. Only use blades or nylon string heads
clearly marked with a maximum speed of at least
10,500 min
