8 Using your brushcutter

8.1 Scope of application

Only use brushcutters fitted with the 3-tooth brush

cutting blade for mowing grass, light brush, reeds

and uncultivated growth at ground level.

Never use the brushcutter for any other purpose.

Using the cutting tools, which are available as

accessories and which are specified for certain

tasks, enable the brushcutter to be used for those

purposes specifically mentioned in the accessory

instructions. Also observe the safety instructions in

those accessory instructions.

Generally, use only the cutting tools authorised for

use with this brushcutter. Always fit the contact

shield specified for this brushcutter and cutting tool. If

in doubt, contact your local SOLO dealer.

8.2 Dual carrying shoulder strap

The brushcutter has to be balanced after the hook

(Fig.1, pos. 12) is placed in the strap hanger. To

balance the brushcutter the hook is hung in one of

the various fastening holes. Release the strap on the

respective hook.

When using the chisel-tooth circular saw blade, the

shoulder strap should be adjusted so that the cutting

attachment hangs freely, approx. 30 cm (12 in.)

above the ground.

All other cutting units should lay flat on the ground

without touching the brushcutter.

Notes on the double shoulder belt  refer to the last

two inside pages of this operating manual (after the

Dutch section).

8.3 Correct brushcutter operation

Observe the relevant safety instructions when using

the brushcutter.

The rotational direction of the cutting tool makes the

operation on the l.h. side of the cutting tool (from the

operator's viewpoint, subject to the brushcutter being

held correctly – section A) particularly free from

kicking. Therefore, always approach the area to be

cut from the right. This brings the l.h. side of the

cutting tool into contact with the material to be

trimmed first. Particularly when cutting tougher

growth (such as medium sized weeds and wild

growth), ensure that you do not "stab" the front of the

brushcutter into the material to be trimmed.

Approach the working area with the brushcutter set to

idle, and then switch to full throttle. Never leave the

engine running at high speed without applying a load.

Dip the tool from the r.h. side 2/3 into the material to

be trimmed. Then work the brushcutter lie a scythe,

i.e. by moving forward step by step, whilst cutting

from right to left.

Operate the brushcutter at full throttle to obtain an

optimum cutting result. Never operate with the clutch

in slipping range. Consequential damage through

excess loads or overheating is excluded from our

warranty.

Immediately stop the engine in case of noticeable

vibrations or when material has gathered around the

cutting tool or contact shield. Slow down the cutting

tool by pressing it onto the ground, until it has come

to a complete standstill. Pull the spark plug cap from

the plug, and clean the tool seat of all grass, roots

etc. Check the entire brushcutter for perfect condition.
