ASSEMBLY OF BLADES (OPTIONAL)
!
!
Warning! It is forbidden to install saw discs.
Various types of metal blades can be installed on
the machine as long as the maximum diameter
does not exceed 255mm.
To install the blades it is necessary to use the
fixing kit supplied separately (code reported
in the technical specifications) and follow the
figures ‘BLADE ASSEMBLY’
STARTING AND STOPPING
Before use, always check that the machine is
in good working order, check the length of the
trimmer line and follow the instructions:
a. check that the nylon line touches or goes
beyond the edge of the guard. If the nylon
line does not reach the required length, press
the button with one finger and at the same
time pull on the line (fig. Df).
For subsequent adjustments when the ma-
chine is in use, gently tap the spool button
against the ground whilst continuing to run
the machine. The length of the nylon line will
thus be automatically adjusted.
b. Adjust the length of the machine and the
cutting head inclination.
c. Connect the machine plug to the socket of
the extension cable and hook it to the cable
hook (Fig.E). Safely grasp the machine and,
without putting it in contact with the grass
to be trimmed, press the switch (2) situated
on the upper hand grip; if present, first press
the safety button (pos. 13). Operate the
machine idle for a short while, so as to set
the cutting wire.
d. Carry out the work.
e. Turn off the machine releasing the ignition
switch.
WARNING! After the machine switches off,
the cutting element continues to rotate for a
few seconds.
WARNINGS AND ADVICE
WARNING! Do use the machine without pro-
tection (if provided separately).
WARNING! A short or worn cutting wire means a
lower cutting performance so, depending on the
situation, follow the instructions for regulating
its length as indicated in the chapter “STARTING
AND STOPPING” or replace it following the
instructions given in the next chapter.
Proceed calmly and carefully follow the instruc-
tions below:
- Before beginning work make sure that the area
to be cut is free of stones, debris, wires and
other foreign bodies.
- Start the machine before approaching the
grass to be cut.
- Cut grass making sure you swing the machine
from right to left and proceed slowly holding it at
on a forwards slope of approximately 30% (Fig. F).
- The grass is to be cut in layers starting from
the top (Fig. F).
- Do not cut damp or wet grass.
- Do not work so that the machine is overloaded.
- Do not wear the wire by hitting against hard
objects (stones, walls, fences etc.) but use the
edge of the protection to keep the machine at
the correct distance.
- Be aware of the blade recoil and the reaction
of the blade in case it should hit against hard
objects.
- So as not to damage the extension cable, avoid
stepping on it with the machine switched on
and always keep it in a safe position behind
your back.
