Gasoline engine safety rules
WARNING! Petrol is highly ammable.
Handle fuel with care.
∙Store fuel in containers specically designed for
this purpose.
∙Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while doing
this operation.
∙Add fuel before starting the engine.
∙Always allow mufer to cool before lling fuel tank.
∙Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the engine is still
hot.
∙If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine,
but move the machine away from the area of spillage
and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol
fumes have dissipated.
∙Clean up spilled fuel before restarting.
∙Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
∙Do not run the engine indoor or in a conned space:
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Exhaust
fumes are dangerous.

consciousness and may lead to death.
Provide an adequate ventilation to
keep exhaust gas level as low as
possible.
∙Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes can reach an open ame
or spark.
∙To reduce re hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
vegetative material and excessive grease.
∙The exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite
some materials. Keep ammable materials away from
the device.
∙The mufer becomes very hot during operation and
remains hot for a while after stopping the engine. Be
careful not to touch the mufer while it is hot. Let the
engine cool before storing the machine indoors.
∙Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before starting

may occur.
Some of these chemicals are: lead from lead based
paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber and other dangerous
products. If dust is present, your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, any
time you do pulverulent operations, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
∙If the machine strikes a foreign body, examine the
device for signs of damage and carry out any necessary
repairs before restarting and continuing to work.
∙If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, switch

∙Do not operate the unit in awkward positions, off
balance, outstretched arms, or one-handed. Always use

11
EN
Instruction manual
two hands when operating unit.
∙The device has normally to be used at ground level
with the cutting attachment parallel to the ground. Do
not use the device to cut grass that is not on the ground
level, e.g. grass that grows on walls, rocks etc.
∙Before cutting, inspect the area for stones, glass,
pieces of metal, trash or other solid objects. Make sure
that the cutting equipment does not come in contact
with stones, gravel, wire or other foreign bodies during
the start-up and while working. The cutting attachment
could throw object of this kind.

times. Be especially cautious while working on slopes,
on overgrown terrain or in slippery conditions. Watch out
for hidden obstacles.
∙Take care against injury from the line cutter tted for
trimming the cutting line length.
∙Do not cross any gravel-strewn roadways or paths
with device still running.
∙Do not operate unit for prolonged periods, rest
periodically. Limit the amount of time over which the
device is to be used continuesly (around 30-40 minutes
per session), and take 10-20 minutes of rest between
work sessions. Also try to keep the total amount of work
performed in a single day under 2 hours or less.
∙Replace trimmer spool if cracked, chipped or
damaged in any way. Be sure it is properly installed and
securely fastened.
∙Never use blades that are uncorrect, bent, warped,
cracked, broken or damaged. Keep the blade always
sharp. Check the bolt to fasten the blade and be sure
the blade turns freely without abnormal noise.
CAUTION! After stopping the engine,
the cutting equipment keepson rotating
for some seconds. Never attempt to
stop it with your hands. Always wait
until it stops by itself completly.
∙Operate the brushcutter only with the shoulder
strap (or backpack) attached. Check it is not damaged
before use. It should be properly adjusted to user’s size
before putting the brushcutter into operation.
∙Stop the engine during transport.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION
OF THE KICKBACK
When operating the brushcutter, uncontrolled kickback
can occur. Kickback is the sudden and uncontrolled
motion of the machine and cutting tools towards the
operator that can occur:
∙if the blade binds in the cut;
∙if the blade segment between 12 and 2 o’clock, as
viewed from the operator’s position [F1] of a rotating
blade comes in contact with a solid rigid object like tree,
rock, bush or wall.
This kickback can cause loss of control of the unit and
may result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or
bystanders.
To avoid kickback and reduce the risk of loss of control:
∙before beginning work, watch out for hidden
obstacles, such as rocks, stumps, roots, etc., that could
cause the blade to kick back if struck.
∙always handle the device securely with two hands
and do not grip other parts except the handles.
∙replace or resharpen dull blades.
∙never raise the unit above your waist.
∙avoid operating the brushcutter using the blade
segment between the 12 and 2 o’clock position.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that all
components are included. Refer to the drawings on this

of the holes of the strap hanger (19) on the main shaft (6).
2. Adjust the shoulder strap (36) to a comfortable
position.
3. Adjust length and position of the shoulder strap
(36), so that the brushcutter blade (13) will be parallel to
the ground in the working position.
ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE (7)
Check the cutting line (7) regularly if it is damaged.
Short or worn cutting tools cut less efciently.
NOTE: Hitting hard and abrasive objects, such as
fences, concrete and rocks within and around long
grass may cause the cutting line (7) to disappear and
can be easily advanced from the trimmer spool (38) by
following simple instructions.
Semi-Matic feed of cutting line (7) (bump-feed) [F9]
1. Tap the cutting head (9) lightly on the ground while
the device is running at full speed. This will automatically
supply extra cutting line (7). Several taps may be
required until cutting line (7) strikes the line cutter (25).
2. The line cutter (25) which is situated under the
safety guard (10) will automatically trim the cutting line
(7) to the correct length during operation.
ATTENTION! Do not use excessive force nor tap the
cutting head (9) on pavement or concrete.
NOTE: if the cutting line (7) is worn too short you may
not be able to advance the cutting line (7) by tapping
it on the ground. If so, stop the engine, and manually
advance the cutting line (7). If the end of the cutting
line (7) is not visible: the trimmer spool (38) should be
replaced.
ATTENTION! Check the condition
of line cutter (25) regularly. Do
not employ the device under any
circumstances without line cutter (25)
or with a defective one. Clean the line
cutter (25) from grass and debris on a
regular basis to avoid any inuence of
the cutting effect.
Manual feed of cutting line (7) [F10]
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cap
(32).
2. Push the cutting line feed button (24) while pulling
on ends of cutting line (7) to manually advance it.
3. After extending new cutting line (7), always return
the machine to its normal operating position, before
turning on the engine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
∙Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects
such as glass, stones, concrete, fencing, wire, wood,
metal etc.
∙Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check
the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
∙Hold the unit with a rm grip with both hands while
in operation and maintain balance on both feet.
∙Keep cutting attachment below waist level.
∙Maintain the speed of the engine at the level
required to perform cutting work, and never raise the
speed of the engine above the level necessary.
∙Keep all parts of your body away from rotating
cutting attachment and hot surfaces.
∙Make sure shoulder strap (36) or backpack (if
present) and the suitable safety guard (10) are properly
tted and adjusted.
Operating the unit as grass trimmer [F11]
∙Cut tall grass from the top down.
∙If grass becomes wrapped round the cutting head
(9), stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug cap (32),
and remove the grass.
∙Use the tip of cutting line (7) to do the cutting; do
not force cutting head (9) into uncut grass.
Operating the unit as brushcutter [F12]
∙Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off
balance by the kick-back reaction of the brushcutter
blade (13).
∙The brushcutter blade (13) is used for tall or coarse
grass, but it must not be used for woody stems.
∙For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds
being cut from the right to the left. In the event an
unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this
could minimise the blade thrust reaction.
∙Cut down grass with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is
the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-
right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the
brushcutter blade (13) (from 8 o’ clock to 12 o’ clock) do
the cutting. If the brushcutter blade (13) is angled to the
left when clearing grass, the grass will collect in a line,
and it will be easier to collect it.
∙Try to work rhythmically. Stand rmly with your feet

15

Instruction manual
apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand
rmly again.
∙Never use a brushcutter blade (13) near footpaths,
fencing, posts, buildings or other immovable objects.
∙Never use a brushcutter blade (13) after hitting a
hard object without rst inspecting it for damage. Do not
use if any damages detected.
