INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE BRUSHCUTTER
GB-10
4.0 USE OF THE MACHINE
4.1 Before
starting
Before starting the machine, make sure that it has been carefully positioned on a flat, clean surface free from obstacles.
Then set it up in horizontal position in such way that the cutting tool does not touch the soil or any other object. Make
sure that all the screws, especially the fixing screws for the rod, safety guard, and cutting organ are well tightened.
Make sure that both the cutting tools and the respective safety guard have been correctly assembled as above. Whenever
possible, clean the cutting area before beginning to work by collecting all foreign objects such as stones, pieces of
broken glass, nails, metal wire or string that might be thrown off or become tangled up in the cutting tool.
Starting the machine inside closed rooms or buildings is prohibited, and breathing the exhaust fumes can
lead to intoxication.
Remember that the use of the head with the nylon cutting wire leads to the spraying of chopped grass and vegetal
matter.
Pay special attention whenever cutting toxic grass. Use adequate respiratory system protections.

For a correct use of the knob (Fig. 14 loop handle version and Fig.15
double handle version) you first need to know the functions, so you
can turn on the machine and check the speed.
1) START
(engine start)
- is done pulling the red button on the knob opposite to the “STOP”
word printed on it
2) STOP
(engine stop)
- is done releasing the acceleration lever and pulling the red button on
the knob in the direction of the “STOP” word printed on it
3) SAFETY T ACCELERATION LEVER
- The safety trigger is an indispensable device to avoid dangerous
accelerations due to careless or accidental moves. In fact, whether not
grasped and pressed does not allow the use of the acceleration lever.
Therefore, in order to control the speed of rotation of the motor, it is
necessary to firmly grip the knob so as to press the safety trigger with
the palm of the hand: in this way the acceleration lever is released;
the same acceleration lever, if released, returns automatically in the
rest position (at idle)
