Ensure that the blades have completely stopped before
arrying out any maintenance work or before transporting
the machine.
CHECKING POINTS AFTER START UP
It is important to ensure that there are no loose parts and
to check the temperature of the machine. If you detect
anything strange, stop immediately and check carefully. In
case of any anomaly or problem take the machine to your
nearest service agent for repair. Never carry on working if
the machine does not seem to work properly.
Do not use the machine if broken or not well
maintained.
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 carburettor 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.

HOW TO HOLD THE MACHINE AND GUIDE IT WHILST
WORKING
Hold the machine with your left hand on the handle and
the other hand in such a position that you can act over the
controls (accelerator and security switch) with your right
hand. If you hold the handles of the machine firmly, you
will reduce significantly the risk of kick backs and you will
increase control of the machine.
Attention! So as to reduce the risk of loss of control and
possible damages (that could be mortal) to the user or those
surrounding him, never use the machine one handed.
HEDGE CUTTING
We recommend that you test yourself firstly with small
branches in an easy position so as to get some experience
before starting with more complex cuts.
Always start the hedge cutter before placing the blade in
the cutting area.
Start cutting with the machine at full throttle and maintain
this full throttle during the duration of the cutting work.
Once the hedge cutter has started, place the machine
in the hedge in a flat position and carry out long fan like
movements. If you tilt the machine in the cutting direction
you will obtain better cutting results.
If, whilst you cut, the blade blocks, stop the machine
immediately. Before unblocking the blade:
- Ensure the machine is fully stopped, the spark plug dis-
connected and the blade at a complete standstill.
- Check that the temperature of the blade is not extremely
high. If it is, wait a few minutes for the blade to cool.
- Always use security gloves when unblocking the blade.
- With the help of suitable tooling, remove the blocking
element from the blade.
While cutting, in order to be good for the user, the handle
can be rotated 90º. To rotate the handle:
- Turn off the engine (If machine is running).
- Free the handle by pulling the locking lever.
- When the handle is position in the proper position,
loosen the handle locking lever.
- When the handle is blocked, start to work.
