Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry out the checks, maintenance and service instructions described in this manual.
Some maintenance and service measures must be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See instructions under the heading “Maintenance”.
If the cutting attachment strikes any foreign object or the machine starts making any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and take the following steps:
- Inspect for damage;
- Check for, and tighten, any loose parts;
- Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts.
All covers, guards and handles must be fitted before starting. Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead are undamaged to avoid the risk of electric shock.
This machine produces an electromagnetic field during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
The exhaust gases emitted from engine contain dangerous carbon monoxide. Running an engine in a confined or badly ventilated area can result in death due to asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Personal protective equipment
IMPORTANT! You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

Machine′s safety equipment
This section describes the machine′s safety equipment, its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information
please contact your nearest service workshop.
IMPORTANT! All servicing and repair work on the machine requires special training. This is especially true of the
machine′s safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks described below you must contact your service
agent. When you buy any of our products we guarantee the availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer
who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him for the address of your nearest service agent.
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty safety equipment. The machine’s safety equipment must be
checked and maintained as described in this section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control.
When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control
(B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move
back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return
springs. This arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle
setting.
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lockout is
released.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release
it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely and that the return springs
work properly.
Daily check that the cutting attachment stops turning when the engine idles. See
instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle and check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the carburettor idle
setting must be checked. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.
Engine switch
Press down the O side of the engine switch to stop the engine. Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you move the engine switch to the stop setting.
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment. Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard. See the chapter on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of vibration.
The machine′s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine′s handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Quick release (if equipped)
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches fire, or in any other emergency that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness. See instructions under the heading adjusting the harness and brush cutter.
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the harness quick release works correctly.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine and silencer free of debris, leaves and excessive lubricant.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.
WARNING! Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!
Locking nut
A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting attachment.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.) Tighten the nut using the socket spanner.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
Cutting equipment (Brush cutter & Grass trimmer)
This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT! Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data. Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord
diameter. Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the blade
packaging.
WARNING! Always stop the engine before doing any work on the cutting attachment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped completely and disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug before you start to work on it. WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting attachment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of blade
thrust.
