Place the shoulder harness over your left shoulder, tie around your waist and adjust it so that the clasp
sits a little below the belt-line, [Fig. 09, Pag. 07].
The brushcutter should always be connected to the shoulder harness while working.
To cut, turn the engine to the highest speed and move the device from right to left. When done with an
area, decrease the engine speed, return to your original position and, before entering the next area of
cutting, turn the engine up again to the highest speed, [Fig. 10, Pag. 07].
Choosing between the nylon line and the cutting blade:
- Use the nylon line for trimming and edging lawns.
- Use the cutting blade for cutting tall grass, bushes, weeds, undergrowth, etc.
Release of Nylon Line
The nylon line is released automatically when the cutter-line head is pressed against the ground with the
engine running low (at less than 4500 rpm). Any excess line is cut off by the cutter on the debris guard, [Fig.
11, Pag. 08].
Replacing the Nylon Line
1. Remove the cover of the cutter-line head (1), squeezing the clasps on either side, [Fig. 12, Pag. 08].
2. Then remove the cutter-line head from its casing, [Fig. 13, Pag. 08].
3. Take 4 meters of 2.4 mm diameter nylon line, fold in half, thread the folded part through the slit in the
cutter-line head and twist in the direction indicated by the arrow, with 2 meters on each side of the cutter-
line head, [Fig. 14, Pag. 08].
4. Thread the lines through the eyelets, replace the cutter-line head in its casing, and then replace the
cutter-line head cover.
5. The nylon line should be between 11 and 14 cm long on each side, [Fig. 15, Pag. 08].
Do not use nylon line with a diameter greater than 2.4 mm.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WASTE DISPOSAL
Improper disposal of oil, gasoline and toxic parts endangers the environment. Such items should be stored
in proper containers and dropped off at authorized collection centers. Recyclable waste items should be
recycled.
MAINTENANCE
Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire whenever performing
any maintenance.
Greasing the gearbox
[Fig. 16, Pag. 09]
1. Remove the screw from the gearbox.
2. Add a small amount of lithium grease after every 50 hours of use.
3. Replace the screw.
Clean the air filter with soap and water before each use and dry it before putting back in place. Replace
the filter when it is dirty or damaged.
Clean the spark plug periodically. Replace it after 100 hours of use or when the electrode is worn out. The spark
plug electrode opening is 0.7 mm.
Replace the fuel filter when it is clogged, very dirty or after 100 hours of use. Never use running water to
clean the brushcutter. Clean it with mild detergent and a moist sponge or cloth.
