through to the carburettor. Fewer pulls are required for
starting, meaning the machine becomes easier to start.

Excellent dust control with a wet cutting kit. A progressive
water valve for exact adjustment of the water volume to
efficienty bind the dust and reduce slurry.

Re versible cutting head
The machine is fi tted with a reversible cutting head
allowing cutting close to a wall or at ground level,
