ADJUSTING THE TILT OF THE HANDLEBAR UNIT
When working around hedges, protruding branches, posts or any other type of lateral obstacle,
the machine’s handlebar unit can be tilted to the side opposite the obstacle (fig.10). In order to
adjust the tilt angle, pull the lever on the lower left of the handlebar unit (fig.1 no.7) and insert the
corresponding pin into one of the nine holes in the handlebar unit’s support. The machine
therefore allows for the handlebar unit to assume 4 different tilt angles, to the right as well as to
the left.
BLOCKING THE ADJUSTABLE PIN
When laying cable for long straight tracts, the adjustable pin (fig.12) can be locked in place in
order to provide for better management of the machine’s advancement direction. In order to
lock the pin in place, just tighten the handle on the right side of its support (fig.12, no.1).
ADJUSTING THE WIDTH OF THE WHEELBASE
Both of the wheels are equipped with half-axles which can be extended to 4 different
positions. This system provides for the possibility of obtaining a distance of 25, 27, 29 or
31 cm between the cutter and the edge (fig.13). This ensures that the cable will be laid at
an equal distance from any border, wall or hedge. In order to adjust this distance, just
remove the locking pin (fig.13 no.2) and reposition it in one of the 4 holes along the half-
axle (fig.13 no.1). Be sure to reset the safety spring.
STARTING WORK OPERATIONS
Once the cable bas been mounted and the cutter has been installed, the cable must be tied to the ground. In order to
perform this operation, just insert a spike or peg into the ground and tie the end of the cable, which is sticking out of
the bottom of the pin, to it. This operation ensures that the cable will be properly laid within the groove created by
the cutter for the first few meters.
FINISHING WORK OPERATIONS
Once the work operations have been completed, bring the gas throttle (fig.1 no.3) to its STOP position in order to shut
off the motor (the motor can also be shut off by means of the stop switch, if installed, after having brought the
motor’s speed to minimum). Once the motor has been shut off, close the fuel tap. Once the machine has been
brought to its storage location, the cutter’s support must be cleaned and lubricated (see the following section).
It is recommended to properly clean the cable laying tube, removing any dirt residues from inside.
