Instruction manual
3. Close the choke lever (10). NOTE: The CLOSED
position enriches the fuel mixture for starting a cold
engine. For restarting a warm engine, leave the choke
lever (10) in the OPEN position.
4. Press the fuel pump (11) (if present) repeatedly,
until fuel begins to fill the bulb (to start a warm engine,
it’s not necessary to press it).
5. The throttle lever (7) should be set to the starting
position, in order to do that: press the throttle lockout
(9), by gripping the control handle and hold the throttle
set button (8) (if present), while releasing the throttle
lever (7).
6. Hold the body of the machine on the ground using
your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!).
7. Grip the handle of recoil starter (3), slowly pull
out the cord with your right hand until you feel some
resistance, then quickly and powerfully pull the cord
(CAUTION! Never twist the recoil starter (3) around
your hand!).
8. Repeat pulling the cord of recoil starter (3) until the
engine starts.
9. When the engine starts, slowly open the choke
lever (10) ONLY if it had been put on CLOSE position
because the engine was cold.
10. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
When the engine is warm enough to idle well, pull and
release the throttle lever (7) to disengage the throttle
set button (8).
NOTE: the throttle set button (8) is used to hold the
throttle lever (7) at the fast idle position for starting.
ATTENTION! Do not allow the cutting equipment to
contact any obstruction when starting the engine
with the throttle set button (8) engaged!
ATTENTION! Do not use the throttle set button (8)
while operating the unit! The machine will not return
to idle, and the cutting blade (18) will continue to
spin until the throttle set button (8) is disengaged
and the throttle lever (7) is released.
Stopping the engine
1. Reset the throttle lever (7) to the low speed position
and slow down the engine RPM.
2. Set the on/off switch (6) in “STOP” “O” position.
WARNING! The cutting blade (18)
will continue to spin briefly after the
engine has stopped or the throttle
lever (7) is released. A coasting blade
can cause injury. Maintain proper
control of the machine until the cutting
tool has completely stopped rotating.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION! Do not use the machine on full load
for extended periods for the first 20 hours of use
and do not allow the machine to function idly at full
throttle.
Rotating handle [F4]
To make the cutting operations easier the rotary handle
(12) can be turned through 45°/90° to the right or left
from the central position.
∙ Turn off the machine.
∙
Release the throttle lever (7) and the throttle
lockout (9), then pull the release lever (13) to free the
movement of rotary handle (12).
∙
Turn the rotary handle (12) until the release lever
(13) clicks into place.
∙
Ensure that the rotary handle (12) is firm, when it
is locked in its new position, the machine can start to
working again.
For safety reasons, whilst moving the rotary handle (12)
it is not possible to accelerate.
Cutting techniques
∙ A better cut is obtained by moving forwards slowly,
especially with thick hedges.
∙ Cut the hedge starting from the sides, leaving the
top part to the end.
∙ To obtain a uniform height for the hedge, it is
recommended to use a reference wire and cut the
branches that stick out from the wire.
∙ Cut upwards and downwards using both sides of
the cutting blade (18), making semi-circle movements.
Vertical cut [F5] :
∙
Swing the cutting blade (18) from the bottom
upwards in an arc – lower the nose of the cutting blade
(18), move along the hedge and then swing the cutting
blade (18) up again in an arc.
Horizontal cut
[F6]
:
∙
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to 10° as you
swing the machine horizontally.
∙
Swing the cutting blade (18) in an arc towards the
outside of the hedge so that the cutting blades (18) are
swept to the ground.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
CAUTION! Before carrying out any
maintenance operation, turn off
the engine and wait until it stops
completely.
