Switching off the engine
Move the engine switch (2) to position STOP (
O

1.4.4
Working with the machine
After the brush cutter/trimmer is started, hang it on the harness and grasp the
handlebars properly.
!
When handling the brush cutter/trimmer, pay attention to avoid contact with
foreign objects and bystanders and avoid injuring yourself as the operator.
!
Hold the brush cutter/trimmer firmly with your hands, so that the fingers and
thumbs surround the handles as shown in the picture.
Release the accelerator lever during short breaks in the cutting, so that the engine
runs at idle revolutions. The engine could be severely damaged if running at full
speed without load for long time.
1.4.4.1
Using the nylon head
The nylon string is intended for cutting at hardly accessible places and around various obstacles where it is not
possible to use a lawn mower.
!
Make sure that the safety cover of the brush cutter/trimmer is properly fastened and fully functional.
Pulling out the nylon string
When working, slightly tap the nylon head on the ground at maximum engine revolutions. The string will be shortly
loosened and thus pulled out. It is possible to tap repeatedly until the string is pulled out to requested length. Too long
string will be cut automatically.
Cutting
The nylon string ensures clean cutting of grass without damaging tree trunks or other obstacles, such as stones,
kerbs, walls, etc. If cutting too close to solid obstacles for a longer time, it results in excessive consumption of the nylon
string.
When cutting larger areas, proceed slowly forward and move the brush cutter/trimmer continuously from left to
right and back (as if cutting with a scythe.
