2-ENGLISH
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 damage 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 paragraph, 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 cutting 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 fastened with
the screw fastening the blade fully tightened.
Check the backpack and make sure the motor is
securely fastened to its housing.
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 recommended 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 missile. In mounting the cutting
utensils follow the instructions 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;
Minimum safety distance 15m.
Emergency stop.
Maximum shaft speed.
15 m
Danger of kickback. The blade is
capable of amputating arms and
legs.
CAUTION!
Danger of serious leg injuries.
Take scrupulous care to follow the
instructions in the manual.
CAUTION!
The cutting parts and muffler may
get very hot and cause burns. Wait
a few minutes before touching
them.
