If the machine does not start after pulling at the rope
a few times, please refer to the cold start up section.

1. Let go of the accelerator (C) and let the engine run
at idle speed for a few seconds.
2. Stop the engine by displacing the switch from the

6.4.5. POINTS TO BE VERIFIED AFTER MACHINE
STARTS
It is neccesary to pay attention to posible loosening
or overheating of parts of the machine. If you detect
any anomalies stop inmediatly the machine and check
it carefully. In case of failure take the machine to
the repair service. In any case you should continue
working if you feel that the performance is not correct.
Do not use the machine if it is damaged or
incorrectly regulated.
6.4.5.1. CHECKING THE CLUTCH
After starting up and the engine is hot, the cutting
tool must not be moved if the engine is idle. If the
cutting tool turns with the engine running and without
accelerating, it will be necessary to regulate the idling
regime of the engine. To do this, turn the carburetor
nut “T” until the engine stops.
If you are unable to regulate the idling regime to stop
the cutting tool, because the engine stalls, please
contact the customer service for help.
The regulation of the screws (H) and (L) must only be
carried out by an official technical servicer.
7. MACHINE USAGE
Only use this machine for those jobs for which it
has been designed. The use of this machine for other
uses is dangerous and could cause damages to the
user and/or the machine.
Do not start the machine in a closed area.
The exhaust fumes, the vapours of the petrol
and oil, all contain carbon monoxide and
other dangerous chemical substances. In case of gas
concentration due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate
from the work area everything that impedes the
correct flow of air and do not work in this area again
until it is well ventilated and the gas concentration
does not happen again.
Mow only at daylight or in good artificial light. Do not
use this machine at night, with fog and with reduced
visibility. Always make sure that you can clearly see all
the working area.
Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where
feasible. Take special care when using this machine
in the rain or after rain because the ground is slippery
and you can slip.
If you slip or fall stop accelerating and move the
switch to “O” (Off).
Do not bring any cutting elements near when the
machine is in use and the engine running.
