USING THE MACHINE 9

• Aligning the power unit

– Press the pedal (4) and align the power unit (5)

with one of the three allowed positions.

– Make sure the power unit is rmly assembled

before switching the motor on.

– Rotate the cutting limit indictor (6) towards the

front when working near trees, curbs or fences

to prevent them coming into contact with the

cutting device.

3. WORKING TECHNIQUES

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 motor peri-

odically and remove the weeds wound round the

machine, so as to prevent overheating due to the

grass caught under the guard.

Remove the caught-up grass with a screwdriver.

WARNING! Do not use the machine

for sweeping, tilting the cutting line head. The

power of the motor could throw objects and

small stones 15 metres or more, causing dam-

age and injuries to people.

• Cutting in motion (Scything) (Fig. 6)

Proceed at a regular pace, with a circular motion

similar to a traditional scythe, keeping the cutting

device parallel to the ground.

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 cutting 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 and ani-

mals and cause damage.

• Cutting near fences/foundations

Slowly approach the cutting line head to 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 pave-

ments, foundations, walls, etc. can cause greater

wear than normal to the line.

• Cutting round trees

Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching

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 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.

• Adjusting line length when working (Fig. 7)

This machine is tted with a “Tap & Go” head.

To release more line, tap the cutting line head

against the ground with the motor running; the line

will be released automatically and the knife cuts o

the excess length.

If the line is not long enough:

– stop the motor and disconnect the extension

lead from the mains:

– press the bottom of the head and tug on the

ends of the line, until it reaches the desired

length.

If the line has run out, the coil must be replaced.

WARNING! After working on the cut-

tingline head, always put the machine in a

working position before starting the motor.

4. END OF OPERATIONS

When you have nished your work:

– Switch o the motor as indicated above (Chap.

6).

WARNING! Allow the motor to cool

before storing in any enclosure.

To reduce re hazards, clean the machine

thoroughly to get rid of any remains of grass,

leaves or excess grease, never leave contain-

ers with the cut debris inside the storage area.
