This product must be held to the right of the
operator’s body.
This will ensure exhaust fumes are directed away
from the operator and will not be obstructed by
the operator’s clothing. If you have not used a
trimmer before, spend some time in becoming
familiar with the controls and method of usage
before operation.
Check the machine carefully before using it.
Make sure that there are no loosened screws,
damaged parts or fuel leakages.
Replace damaged or excessively worn
accessories (blades, string heads, guards).
Ensure all maintenance or repair work is carried
out by an authorised service center.
N.B. In order to maintain performance and safety,
be sure to use original spare parts and
accessories.
Avoid using the trimmer over excessively long
periods of time.
Excessive amounts of vibration can be harmful.
1) Remove from the working area grit, debris,
ropes, metal parts or any other object which
might get entangled around the rotating parts
or be dangerously projected.
Use only the correct accessory recommended
for the type of vegetation to be cut. Do not let
the rotating blade contact any foreign object
such as stones, rocks, cans etc.
Secure hair to keep it above shoulder height.
Before starting to work fit the harness. Adjust
harness with the buckle so that the trimmer is
well balanced on your right side and the blade
or string head is parallel to the ground. Always
maintain a firm foothold and a good balance
while using the machine. Do not move
backwards while you work as obstacles may
not be visible.
The fitting of the safety pole barrier is
obligatory on units equipped with a delta
shaped handle when used with a metal blade.
The purpose of this safety pole barrier is to
maintain a safe distance between the metal
blade and the user under all normal or
exceptional circumstances.
2) Harness ring (B) must never be moved from its
original position to avoid unbalancing the unit.
Front handles can be separately adjusted to
make usage easier on units fitted with “U”
shaped handles.
3) The following accessories can be assembled to
your trimmer: a) blade, b) nylon string head.
Do not attach any blade to a unit without
proper installation of all required parts. Failure
to use the proper parts can cause the blade to
fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or
bystanders.
a) WHEN USING A BLADE ENSURE THE
CORRECT GUARD IS FITTED.
b) WHEN USING A NYLON STRING HEAD
ENSURE THE CORRECT GUARD IS FITTED.
When using the unit always hold the front part
of the machine (blade or nylon string head)
below your waist.
NYLON STRING HEAD:
Always make sure it has been correctly
assembled and fitted.
The nylon head is suitable to cut grass and
weeds wherever there might be obstacles like
trees, fences or walls.
The nylon string head also reduces the
likelihood of damaging small plants and trees
bark.
Only use flexible, nonfilament nylon line in the
nylon line head as specified by the
manufacturer. Never use metallic line which
could break off and become a dangerous
projectile.
BLADE:
Always make sure it has been correctly fitted.
When fitting or changing a cutting device,
ensure you follow the instructions in the
section “Blade or nylon string head assembly”
with extreme precision. Fit these cutting
devices using all and only the parts as
described, and in the correct order.
4) BLADES: you can cut any type of grass,
brushwood or shrub.
Operate the machine like a sickle always
cutting at full throttle.
5) WARNING: always use a well sharpened blade.
A blade with worn teeth besides providing
poor performance might also generate a
sudden thrust. This can result in a violent
sideways kick caused when the blade touches
against wood or solid bodies, such thrust
might then cause the operator to loose control
of the machine itself. Never attempt to work
with a damaged blade but replace it with a
new one.
THRUST: can occur when using any type of
circular blade within the risk area: therefore it
is advisable to cut using the remaining area of
the blade.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADE: it can be used to cut
sappling, small trees with a diameter up to 7
cm., to clean shrubs.
