4SAFETY WARNINGS

the movements required by the job.
GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of am-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while ope-
rating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Ne-
ver modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will re duce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord improperly. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
en tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Using an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or me-
dication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o-position before connec-
ting to power source, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
po wer tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dange-
rous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or obstruction of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may aect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to become jammed and are easier
to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, ta-
king into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Using the power tool
for operations other than those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

– Keep electric sockets or cables away from
wet and damp areas (e.g. puddles or wet
ground).
The quality of the extension leads must be no less
than H07RN-F or H07VV-F, with a minimum sec-
tion of 1.5 mm and a recommended maximum
length of 30 m.
To avoid overheating, do not keep the extension
lead rolled up during use.
DANGER! The permanent connec-
tion of any electrical equipment to the mains
of a building must be installed by a qualied
electrician in conformity with the regulations
in force. Incorrect wiring can cause serious
injury and even death.

5. PREPARING TO WORK

– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and
provisions for the disposal of waste materials
after cutting.
– To avoid the risk of re, do not leave the ma-
chine with the motor hot on leaves or dry grass.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations and
provisions for the disposal of damaged parts or
any elements which have a strong impact on the
environment.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to vi-
brations can cause injuries and neurovascu-
lar disorders (also called “Renaud’s syn-
drome” or “white hand”), especially to people
suffering from circulation disorders. The
symptoms can regard the hands, wrists and
ngers and are shown through loss of sensi-
tivity, torpor, itching, pain and discolouring of
or structural changes to the skin. These ef-
fects can be worsened by low ambient tem-
peratures and/or by gripping the handgrips
excessively tightly. If the symptoms occur, the
length of time the machine is used must be
reduced and a doctor consulted.
1. USING THE MACHINE
WARNING! When working, the ma-
chine must always be rmly held in both
hands, keeping the power unit on the right of
the body and the cutting group below the line
of the belt.
WARNING! Stop the engine immedi-
ately if the blade stops during sawing. Always
WARNING! For your safety and that of
others:
1) Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards oc-
curring to other people or their property.
2) Always wear suitable clothing when using
the machine. Your dealer can provide you
with all the information on the most suit-
able accident-prevention devices to guar-
antee your safety.
3) Thoroughly inspect the whole work area
and remove anything that could be thrown
up by the machine or damage the cutting
device (stones, branches, iron wire, bones,
etc.).
4) Use the cable clamp to prevent the exten-
sion lead from disconnecting accidentally.
Make sure it is connected to the socket
without being forced. Never touch a live
electric cable if it is poorly insulated.
5) Be careful of ying debris coming from the
cutting device.
6) Stop the motor and unplug the machine
from the mains:
– if the machine starts to vibrate abnor-
mally: nd the cause of the vibration
immediately and have it inspected at a
Specialised Centre;
– whenever you leave the machine unat-
tended.
IMPORTANT Remember that an Electric
Brush Cutter/Grass Trimmer used incorrectly can
be a disturbance to others. To respect people and
the environment:
– Avoid using the machine in environments or at
times of the day when it may disturb others.
NOTE When you release the
switch, the safety button is also released and the
motor stops.

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 dam-
age and injuries to people.
• Cutting in motion (Scything) (Fig. 12)
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 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.
• Precision cutting (Trimming)
Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the lower
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 distance
from the operator.
• Cutting near fences/foundations (Fig. 13)
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 pavements, founda-
tions, walls, etc. can cause greater wear than nor-
mal in the line.
• Cutting round trees (Fig. 14)
Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching
the trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree with
beware of a kickback, which could occur if a
blade encounters a solid object (logs, roots,
branches, stones, etc.). Do not touch the
ground with the blade. Kickbacks cause blade
recoils that are dicult to control, so as to
cause loss of control of the machine, compro-
mise operator safety and cause damage to the
machine itself.
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 webbing cor-
rectly, rmly gripping the machine and making the
movements required by the job.
• Choosing the cutting device
Choose the most suitable cutting device for the job
to be done, according to these general indications:
– the 3-point blade is suitable for cutting
brushwood and small shrubs up to 2 cm in dia-
meter;
– 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.
2. USING THE HARNESS (Fig. 8)
WARNING! The machine must always
be used connected to the webbing worn cor-
rectly. Frequently check the eciency of the
quick release mechanism used to quickly free
the machine from the belts in case of danger.
The webbing must be put on before connecting
the machine to the special coupling and the belts
must be adjusted to suit the operator’s height and
stature.
The belt (1) must go over the left shoulder towards
the right hip.
Fasten the snap hook (2) to the provided tting (3)
on the drive tube.
3. WORKING TECHNIQUES
a) 3-point blade (Fig. 11)
Start cutting above the undergrowth and then
move down with the scything blade so as to cut
the brush into small pieces.
b) Cutting line head
WARNING! Use ONLY nylon lines. The
use of metal lines, plasticised metal lines and/
or lines not suitable for the head can cause
