Cold engine start-up (fig.G)
1. Push the on/off switch (2) to the “START”
”I” position.
2. Prime the fuel circuit by operating the priming
pump 10 times (5); the system is primed
when fuel is visible in the pump. If necessary,
operate the pump again.
3. Shift the air control (7) to the “close” po-
sition .
4. With your right hand, grab the start-up handle
(8), pull slowly until you feel resistance, and
then pull sharply and decisively; release the
handle once the engine has started. If the
engine does not start, repeat this operation
a few times. If the engine still does not start,
consult the chapter “Problems, causes and
solutions”.
WARNING! During this stage, the cutting
device may start moving.
5. Once the engine is started, shift the air
control (7) to the “OPEN” position . Note:
Do not leave the lever in the start-up position
too long, or the engine will tend to flood.
Warm engine start-up (fig.G)
1. Push the on/off switch (2) to the “START”
”I” position and be sure the air control (7)
is on ‘OPEN’ position.
2. If necessary, prime the fuel circuit by op-
erating the priming pump 10 times (5); the
system is primed when fuel is visible in the
pump. If necessary, operate the pump again.
3. Pull the start-up handle (8) until the engine
is started.
Switching off the engine (fig.G)
Release the accelerator and push the on/off
switch (2) to the “STOP” “O” position.
The motor, the rotating mechanical parts and the
cutting element will rotate a few more seconds
after you switch off the machine; while the
machine is stopping, do not touch any of the
rotating parts.
Running in
During the first 10 hours of operation, do not
strain the motor too much; for this reason, do
not operate the machine empty at the maximum
RPM and during use do not force the machine
by fully throttling up.
We recommend repeating these operations
several times before starting work, in order to
familiarise yourself with the controls as much
as possible.
If you notice any malfunctions, stop the machine
and consult the chapter “Problems, causes and
solutions”.
Turn the machine off when not in use.
USER INSTRUCTIONS
After reading the previous chapters carefully,
apply these instructions scrupulously to obtain
maximum performance.
Proceed calmly so as to become familiar with
all the controls; after having gained sufficient
experience, you will be able to make full use of
its capacities.
SPOOL AND LINE
Only use spools with plastic, round-section
trimmer lines; for the diameter, consult the
technical specifications attached. Using metal
lines, chains or other is prohibited. Using cutting
elements not authorised by this manual causes
very serious danger.
A short or used cutting thread means a lower
cutting performance; therefore, follow the in-
structions for adjusting the length as indicated
below.
Using the semi-automatic spool “tap & go”.
- In order to lengthen the thread, tap the mobile
part of the spool on the ground with the engine
switched on.
- The length of the line is automatically adjusted
by the line cutter located on the guard.
BLADE
Blade efficiency (pos.28) is essential for a suc-
cessful outcome of the work you are about to do:
always keep it sharp and in perfect condition; do
not use damaged blades or saw blades.
The characteristic dimensions of the blade are
