Never stand directly underneath the branch you are cutting- beware of falling branches. Note that a
branch may spring
Working position:
Hold the control handle with your right hand, and the shaft with your left hand, your left arm should be
extended to the most comfortable position.
NOTE:

Cutting techniques
Vertical cut:

When the engine has been switched off, the cutter continues running for several seconds
therefore do not get close to the cutting head of brush cutter until the cutter has come to a
standstill!

Expert inspection is required:
a) If the brush cutter strikes an object.
b) If the motor stops suddenly
c) If the blade is bent (do not align!)
d) If the gears are damaged.
Replacing and re-sharpening the cutting blade at the end of the mowing season always re-sharpen
the cutting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade with a new one. Always have the cutting
blade re-sharpened or replaced by a customer service centre (measurement of imbalance).
Unbalanced blades will cause the lawn mower to vibrate violently-risk of accident!
Change and clean the spark plug
1) Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug using the socket spanner supplied.
2) Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3) Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.6-0.7 mm.
4) Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
