Drawing out the string
During cutting, the nylon string wears naturally
causing an increase in the speed of the engine
and a reduced cutting capacity. When this
happens, to bring out more string bump the head
against the ground: release the throttle trigger to
reduce the engine speed to less than 8000 rpm.
Tap gently on the ground with the button (
A
) as
shown in the figure and the string will come out
automatically. Accelerate again. If the string
does not come out make sure there is still some
left and try again.
Thinning grass with the grass cutter blade
The grass is cut with swinging motions from side
to side, maintaining the blade parallel to the
ground. During the right to left swing the grass is
cut, while the backswing must be made without
using the blade.

KICKBACK can occur when cutting is done
with the risk sector of the blade; we recommend
cutting with the rest of the blade. Take care that
the cup supporting the blade just grazes the
ground. This will prevent the blade from touching
the ground.
Use of sawtooth blade
The sawtooth blade serves to cut bushes and
small trees, with maximum diameter of seven
centimeters. Rest the left side of the special
shield on the trunk while cutting to limit the risk of
losing control of the machine.
This section contains information useful for
maintaining the characteristics of eco-
compatibility included in the origin design of the
machine, and as regards proper use and
disposal of oil and fuel.
Design
In the design stage, care was taken to develop
an engine with reduced consumption and low
emissions of noise and pollutant exhaust fumes.
Use of machine
The operations of filling the tank with the fuel
mixture should be carried out in such a way as to
avoid spilling fuel and contaminating the soil and
environment.
Periods of prolonged disuse
Always empty the fuel tank with the same
precautions used in filling it.
Disposal
Do not dispose inappropriately of the machine
when it is no longer usable. Deliver it to an
authorized organization for proper disposal in
compliance with the regulations in force.
The engine continues to have problems: contact your authorized supplier

Do not attempt to cut trees with a larger
than recommended diameter, to prevent
the risk of kickback or damage to the
blade.
