Using the Brushcutter
Choosing the cutting device
Choose the most suitable cutting device for the job to be done, according to these general
indications:
•
The cutting line head can eliminate tall grass and non-woody vegetation
• The 3-point blade is suitable for cutting brushwood and small shrubs up to 2 cm in
diameter.
Nylon Head
• Cut the grass in 1.5 metre widths, keeping the machine well balanced.
• Avoid engaging stones, piles of earth, small pieces of wood or anything that could be
hidden or difficult to see in the grass. If a large object is accidentally struck, if the cutting
head gets blocked, overloaded or stringy material gets wrapped in the cutting head,
reduce the engine speed so the engine idles. Make sure that the cutting head has
stopped rotating switch off the engine and remove the material.
• Put the Brushcutter on the ground and check that the cutting head has not been
damaged. If necessary, change the cutting head. If the head is only wrapped by
vegetation, remove by hand and clean the cutting head.
• Always wear safety gloves for this operation and ensure the engine is switched off and
the head is stationary.
• When the 2 nylon cords become too short, accelerate the engine and bump the nylon
head on the ground. Automatically the 2 nylon cords will feed out and be cut to the
correct length. Repeat the operation if necessary.
