4.1 MACHINE OPERATING MODES

WARNING! When working, the machine

must always be firmly held in both hands,

keeping the power unit on the right of the

body and the cutting group below the line of

the belt.

Before tackling a mowing job for the rst time it

is advisable to gain the necessary familiarity with

the machine and the most suitable cutting tech-

niques, nding out how to wear the harnesses

correctly, rmly gripping the machine and mak-

ing the movements required by the job.

The cutting line head can eliminate tall grass

and non-woody vegetation near fences, walls,

foundations, pavements, around trees, etc. or to

completely clean a particular area of the garden.

WARNING! The use of metal or rigid

blades of any type with this machine is pro-

hibited.

WARNING! Use ONLY nylon lines. The

use of metal lines, plasticised metal lines

and/or lines not suitable for the head can

cause serious injuries and wounds.

During use it is advisable to stop the engine pe-

riodically and remove the weeds wound round

the machine, so as to prevent the drive tube

from overheating due to the grass caught under

the guard.

Remove the caught-up grass with a screwdriver

to allow the rod to be properly cooled.

WARNING! Do not use the machine for

sweeping, tilting the cutting line head. The

power of the engine could throw objects and

small stones 15 metres or more, causing

damage or injuries to people.

a) Cutting in motion (Scything) (Fig. 7)

Proceed at a regular pace, with a circular motion

similar to a traditional scythe, without tilting the

cutting line head during the operation.

First try cutting at the right height in a small area,

so as to then achieve a uniform cutting height

keeping the cutting line head at a constant dis-

tance from the ground.

For heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the cut-

ting line head by about 30°.

WARNING! Do not work in this way if

there is the possibility of causing objects to

be thrown, which could harm people, animals

or cause damage.

b) Precision cutting (Trimming)

Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the low-

er part of the cutting line head does not touch

the ground and the cutting line is at the required

point, always keeping the cutting device at a dis-

tance from the operator.

c) Cutting near fences/foundations

(Fig. 8)

Slowly move the cutting line head near fences,

posts, rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them hard.

If the line strikes a solid object it could break or

become worn; if it gets tangled in a fence it could

break abruptly.

In any case, cutting around pavements, founda-

tions, walls, etc. can cause greater wear than

normal to the line.

d) Cutting round trees (Fig. 9)

Walk round the tree from left to right, approach-

ing the trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree

with the line and keeping the cutting line head

tilted forward slightly.

Remember that the nylon line could lop o or

damage small shrubs and that the impact of the

nylon line against the trunk of bushes or trees

with soft bark could seriously damage the plant.
