English

Do not overstretch. Maintain your feet well placed on
the floor and maintain a good equilibrium at all times.
Always maintain proper foot support and run the
machine only when standing on a fixed surface, safe
and stable. Or unstable sliding surfaces may cause
loss of balance or control of the machine.

Keep all parts of body away from the cutting elements
when the machine is running. Before start up, make
sure that the cutting element is not in contact with any
object. One small lapse in attention can cause your
clothes or any body part to be caught by the cutting
device.

Always use the brushcutter attached to the harness
and grip machine with your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on the front handle. Hold
this machine with hands reversed increases the risk of
bodily injury and should not be done.

Be extremely careful when cutting shrubs and young
trees. Thin materials can be projected towards the end
user or could make you lose your equilibrium.
If you are a novice user, we recommend you have a
minimum practice on a flat surface

If the machine vibrates abnormally stop the engine,
inspect the machine looking for the possible cause
and repair. If you don’t find the reason take your
machine at your service.

Do not touch the exhaust of the machine with the
engine running or just after it has been stopped. The
exhaust of this machine reaches high temperatures
during operation of the engine and kept some minutes
after the stop thereof.

Do not leave the machine running unattended. If
you must leave the machine unattended shut off the
engine, wait until the cutting device stops and unplug
the spark plug wire.

When transporting the machine, make sure it is
hooked to the harness and with your hands on the
handles, with the engine stopped, with the blade
protector and at a distance from your body parts.
When transporting or storing the machine, always
cover the blade. An appropriate use of the machine
will greatly reduce the risk of accidental contact with
the cutting elements.

Do not attempt to remove cut material from the work
area or the cutting device when it is in motion. Be sure
the machine is off when you perform cleaning debris.

Do not handle the machine by the cutting device. The
cutting device has sharp edges that can hurt yourself.

Store the machine well away from children

Never use the machine if the protections are defective
or without all security devices in proper working order.
Do not modify the machine controls or the engine
speed.

2.2.1.WORKING CLOTHES AND SECURITY
EQUIPMENT

Dress adequately. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewels. Maintain your hair, clothes and gloves well
away from all moving parts.

When using this tool wear the next safety equipment:

- Security glases or protective mask.

- Ear protection.

- Working gloves.

- Non slippery boots.

- Long trousers.

The use of additional working and security equipment
will reduce the risk of personal injury.

4

English

use ear protection. If you use this machine very often,
visit your doctor regularly to check up on your hearing
capacity.

Attention! As you are working with ear protectors,
you must pay more attention to visual warnings as you
will hear less because of the ear protectors.

You must always carry:

- Tooling

- Signalling tape to limit work area.

- Mobile phone (for use in case of an
emergency)

2.2.2. VIBRATIONS

The prolonged use of the machine, exposes the
client to vibrations that in extreme cases and through
many hours of use of the machine could cause the
¨white finger syndrome¨ also known as Raynaud
phenomenon. This causes a reduction in the tact of
the fingers and their capacity to regulate temperature
generating a lack of sensibility. This sickness could
in extreme cases cause problems with the nerve
endings.

The exposure to the vibrations is the cause of
the white finger syndrome. To minimise this
effect as much as possible, follow the following
recommendations:

- Always use gloves

- Always have your hands warm

- Ensure that the cutting device is always sharp.

- Take frequent breaks

- Always hold the machine tightly by the handles

If you detect any of the symptoms of the white finger
syndrome, consult immediately with your doctor.

2.3. SECURITY IN THE WORKPLACE

Do not work with the machine in areas with an
explosive atmosphere or near inflammable liquids,
gases or dust.

Do not start the machine in a closed area. The exhaust
fumes, the vapours of the petrol and the chain oil,
all contain carbon monoxide and other dangerous
chemical substances. In case of gas concentration
due to insufficient ventilation, eliminate from the
work area everything that impedes the correct flow of
air and do not work in this area again until it is well
ventilated and the gas concentration does not happen
again.

The area included in a 15m radius around the
machine must be considered risk zone and nobody
should be there while the machine is working and,
when necessary, a cord and warning signals must be
used around the working area

Maintain children and passers-by well clear when
working with the machine. Distractions can cause a
lack of control.

When work is to be performed simultaneously by two
or more persons, always check for the presence and
location of others so as maintain a distance between
each person sufficient to ensure safety.

2.4. SECURITY WHEN USING FUEL

IMPORTANT: The fuel used is highly inflammable. If
the fuel or the machine catch fire, fight the flames
with a dry dust fire extinguisher.

Always avoid eye contact with the fuel and the oil. If
petrol or oil were to come into contact with your eyes,
clean these immediately with clean water. If your eyes
are still irritated, visit the doctor immediately.

5

English

Do not refill the machine in a closed area. The petrol
and oil vapours all contain dangerous chemical
substances. In case of gas concentration due to
insufficient ventilation, eliminate from the work area
everything that impedes the correct flow of air and do
not work in this area again until it is well ventilated
and the gas concentration does not happen again.

Gasoline and oil are extremely flammable

and explosive under certain conditions. Do
not smoke while preparing or refueling.
Do not approach any flame or hot element to the fuel.
Do not smoke when handling fuel, when refilling or
when working.

Do not refill fuel in areas where flames,
sparks or hot sources are. Refill only in

ventilated areas with engine off. Do not
overfill the fuel to try to overfill the fuel tank. In case
of fuel leakage, eliminate these before starting the
machine, 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 vapours
have dissipated.

Refill fuel before to start the machine. Do not unscrew
the combustible tank cap while the engine is running
or engine is hot.

Make sure the gas cap is properly closed while
operating the machine. Be sure to properly close the
gas cap after refueling.

Store fuel in a bottle or tank homologated and
according to current regulations.

2.5. USE AND CARE OF THE MACHINE

Use this brushcutter only to cut grass and small
bushes. Any other type of usage is dangerous and
run at your own risk. Do not use the machine for

other jobs. For example, do not use the machine to
cut wood, plastic materials, bricks or construction
material. The use of the machine for other uses could
be dangerous.

Use this machine and its accessories
according to the instructions provided and

taking into account working conditions and
work to be done. The use of this machine for jobs
different to those stipulated can cause danger. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damages
provoked through an inadequate use of the machine.

7.1. FIXING THE MACHINE AND GUIDANCE

Hold the machine with the harness,
hands on the handles and with
the right hand in such a position
that you can action the controls
(accelerator and security switch).

Attention! So as to reduce the risk of loss of

control and possible damages (that could even be
fatal) to the end user and/or those surrounding him,
never use this machine single handedly.

7.1.1. CUT WITH THE NYLON HEAD

WARNING: Wear eye and audible protection at all

times. Do not look directly to the cutting line because
can cause serious damage to the head and the eyes.
Use the head line in difficult areas.

If the header hits a rock or other object stop the
machine and check its status. Do not use damaged or
poorly balanced heads.

Hold the brush cutter in the way
that the head do not touch the
ground and with an inclination of
20º in the sense you are cutting.

Make cuts from the left to the
right to prevent that the grass
fall into the cutting area. Be
careful to not hit the head
with rocks or the ground. The
beatings against objects or
the ground will reduce the
life of the head, may spoil
creating a dangerous environment for you and the
people close to you.

The nylon threads are shortened with the use, when
they are too short accelerate the engine and press the
head against the ground. Then leave wire from the
head. If you leave too much wire the blade will cut in
excess.

Remember that the end of the nylon threat is the one
that makes the cut. Get a better result if you do not
introduce the entire head in the cutting area. Enter
the head slowly and let the nylon tips cut the grass at
their own pace.

WARNING DANGER: Do not operate the brush

cutter in areas with metallic materials.

Check the disc holder and make sure it is tight and
there are no signs of damage or abrasion.

Make sure the disc and disc holder are firmly installed
in accordance with the instructions and that the disc
spins freely without producing abnormal sounds.

CUTTING METHOD:

- Cut with the left front of the disc.

- Always cut to the left keeping the disc slightly
inclined to the left.

IMPORTANT:

the disc touch materials that can not cut as stones,
metals, hard wood, wire mesh, etc.

- Keep the blade sharp. A bad sharpened disc cause
a higher cutting force on the machine as well as
increased risk of rebound or projection materials.

- Keep the area to be cut clean with no traces of
chopped vegetables or other materials.
