4-ENGLISH
Kickback
Machines equipped wit h blades may produce a violent
kickback on contact with solid bodies. T he blade is
capable of amputating arms and legs. The force of the
kickback can cause the operator to lose control of the
machine.
Kickback can also occur when cutting with any type of
blade in the ha zardous zo ne (see
N1
); we therefore
recommend cutting using the remaining zone.
This section describes the safety devices on the
machine, and provides instructions for control and
maintenance to keep them in perfect working order. The
section “General Description” will help you to identify the
parts described in this section. The risk of accidents
increases considerably if maintenance is not perform ed
regularly or is not done professionally. In case of any
doubts contact an authorized service center.
Safety lever
• This d evice serves to prev ent acc identa lly pr essi ng the
throttle trigger (f ig.
A
no. 3). In fact, the tri gger (fig. A no.
3
), can only be pressed if the safety lever is pressed at
the same time (fig.
A
no. 20).
• By mean s of 2 se pa rate springs , up on re le as in g the
grip, the throttle trigger (fig.
A
no. 3) and safety lever
(fig.
A
no. 20) return automatically to their original
positions.
Engine stop device
• Turn the st op bu tto n Stop (fig. A no. 8) to O / STOP to
stop the engine.
• To make sure this button works properly, start the
engine and check that it stops when the Stop button
(fig.
A
no. 8) is turned to the Stop position.
Protection for transport
The guard covers the sharp extremities of the blade when
the machine is in the resting position for transport or
storage (fig.
A
no. 24).
Safety guard
• This very important safety device (fig. A no.19)
prevents any objects that come into contact with the
cutting device, or the grass itself, fr om flying up and
striking the operator. It should be checked regularly;
check the assembly and make sure the fasteni ng
screws are tight (see “Assembly of safety guard”).
• If you strike any hard objects t hat cause structural
damage to the guard on the cutting device, take the
machine to an authorized service center for
replacement of the guard.
Safety pole guard
This device, fastened to t he machine, ensures a
minimum distance between t he operator and the cutting
device during use, and prevents the ma chine from
striking and injuring the operator if the blade hits a hard
surface (f ig.
A
no. 21).
Muffler
• The muffler serves to reduce the noise level to a
minimum and to route the exhaust fumes produced by
the combustion engine away from the operator.
• Follow these procedures for safe use of the brush
cutter.
CAUTION!
Always use a sharp blade. A blade
with worn teeth can create problems in cutting
and cause t he blade to kickback.
CAUTION!
Do not sharpen a damaged or worn
blade. Replace it with a new one.
CAUTION!
We recommend the use of or iginal
accessories and replacements, which can be
purchased from authorized distributors. The use
of other accessories and replacements increases
the danger of accidents and in this case the
manufacturer has no liability for damages to
persons and/or property.
C. Description of the safety devices on the machine,
controls to be made and maintenance of the safety devices
CAUTION!
Do not use the machine for any
reason wit h its saf ety devices out of or d er.

F5. “Tap and go” nylon string head
The nylon string head is used to cut grass and weeds
along borders or in zones with obstacles like walls, fences
or trees. It can operate in a very narrow or uneven zone.
The nylon string cuts the grass neatly without damaging
the bark of t he trees or causing violent impact such as
due to the contact of a rigid blade with a hard surface.

G1. Double handled grip
The grip (A) can be adjusted to suit the needs of
the operator by moving it forward or backward.
Loosen the knob (C), place the handle in the
desired position then tighten the knob (C) again.
CAUTION! The handle assembly (A) can be
folded parallel to the transmission shaft to
facilitate transport and storage of the machine.
Loosen the knob (C), turn the support (B), by 90°
clockwise, fold the handle (A) in the desired position and tighten the knob (C).
G2. Delta handle
For your safety, fasten the delta handle in front of the
label placed on the shaft at a distance of at least 18
cm from the rear grip. The handle should be fastened in a comfortable working position. The safety
pole guard should be mounted using the accessories supplied and in the configuration shown in the
figure, in contact with the delta handle.
Bent front grip
CAUTION! The grip acts as a guard when
the special extension is mounted (D). Screw
the side safety guard securely into the threaded
housing on the bent grip as shown in the figure,
whenever you use the cutting blade.
The bent grip (A) can be adjusted according to
the needs of the operator by folding it forward or
backward. Press the grip adjustment knob (B),
place the grip in one of the positions marked with
the notches (C) in a convenient working position
and release the knob (B).
CAUTION! With the blade installed, use the
machine with the grip adjusted in the posi-
tion marked with the first notch only.
CAUTION! Fold the grip parallel to the
machine - in the position of the last notch (C)

G. Assembly of grips
or if it isn’t shown at all. A configuration is allowed
if marked with “OK” and/or the symbol. The
figure shows assembling configurations allowed
for the string head/grass blade attachment (with
the rules defined in the previous paragraph, it is
forbidden to assemble the string head/grass
blade attachment with the locking pin in both left
and right housings, allowing its assembling in the
upper housing only).
Supply of the nylon string
CAUTION! The string cutting blade housed
in the plastic shield will cut the nylon string
to optimum length; a string that is too long
reduces the rotation speed of the engine and
interferes with cutting efficiency, as well as
increasing the risk of injury.
During cutting, the nylon string wears naturally
causing an increase in the speed of the engine
and a reduced cutting capacity. When this happens, to bring out more string bump the head
against the ground: release the throttle trigger to
reduce the engine speed to less than 4000 rpm.
Tap gently on the ground with the button (A)
as shown in the figure and the string will come
out automatically. Accelerate again. If the string
does not come out make sure there is still some
left and try again.

• H3. Pump by pressing several times on the
bulb (C) until you see the fuel flow back into the
tank through the tube (D). Pull the starter cord.
Stopping the engine
• H5. Turn the stop switch (A) to O (STOP).
CAUTION! After stopping the engine the
rotating parts, blade or nylon string head,
keep spinning by inertia for a few seconds. Grip
the machine firmly until they stop.
CAUTION! In case of emergency the above
delay can be abbreviated by scraping the
blade supporting cup parallel on the ground.
Your machine can be equipped with a low emission carburetor. We recommend that you have
any adjustment of the carburetor made exclusively by an authorized service center, which disposes
of special equipment for ensuring the best performance with the lowest emissions. To adjust the
speed to the minimum, turn the screw marked (T)
as shown: With the engine running and well
warmed up, turn the screw (T) gently clockwise,
until the engine rotates at regular speed (stead
noise), without the cutting devices in motion. If
the cutting devices are moving, turn the screw (T)
gently counterclockwise until you obtain the proper adjustment. The correct minimum speed is
shown in the instruction manual in the paragraph
of technical data.
CAUTION! All the above adjustments
should be made with the cutting devices
correctly installed.
CAUTION! Start the brush cutter in a flat
place. During startup stand in a stable
position. Make sure the blade or nylon string
head do not touch the ground or any obstacles.
The warranty may be invalidated due to erroneous adjustments made by personnel not
belonging toauthorized service centers.
I. Carburetor adjustment
Check periodically to see that all the screws in the
machine are securely fastened in place. Replace
damaged, worn, cracked or bent blades. Always
make sure the blade or nylon string head is correctly installed and the nut holding the blade is tight.
L1. Cleaning the air filter
(At least every 25 hours of work). A clogged filter
causes alteration of the carburetor adjustment,
reducing power and increasing fuel consumption,
as well as causing difficulties in startup. Open the
cover on the filter as shown in the figure by pressing in the point indicated by the arrow for release.
Clean the inside of the filter housing thoroughly
(fig. L2). The filter can be cleaned using gentle
jets of compressed air. For more thorough cleaning it can be washed in soapy water.
L3. Gearbox
Every 50 working hours add grease for high
speed gears in the gearbox, through the hole (C).
L4. Spark plug
Periodically (at least every 50 hours) remove and
clean the spark plug and set the space between
the electrodes (0.5/0.6 mm). Replace it if excessively encrusted or, in any case, after 100 working
hours. In case of excessive encrustation check
the carburetor adjustment, the percentage of oil in
the fuel mixture and make sure the oil is of excellent quality and suitable for two-stroke engines.
L5. Fuel filter
To clean or replace the filter, remove the cap on the
tank and take the filter out using a hook or longnose pliers. Periodically, every season, contact your
service center for general maintenance and cleaning of the inside. This will reduce the possibility of
unexpected problems and will ensure the good
performance and long life of your machine.
CAUTION! Regularly it is important, in order
to prevent the engine from overheating, to
remove the dust and dirt from the vents, the cylinder cover and fins on the cylinder, using a wooden scraper.
CAUTION! In case of prolonged disuse,
empty the fuel tank and run the engine until
it is out of gas. Store the brush cutter in a dry
place.
L6. Attachments maintenance (for split shaft
models only)
Follow maintenance instructions on the attachment manual.
L. Routine maintenance
CAUTION! Use only the recommended type
of nylon string. Do not use steel wires for any
reason, in order to prevent serious injury.
String replacement
If, when you bump the nylon string head on the
ground, no more string comes out, it means there is
none left and you have to replace it.
To replace the
M. Replacement of nylon string

reel of string, press both the release pawls indicated by the arrows, remove the empty reel,
unroll any string left and rewind the new string.
Open the original package of string and insert the
ends of the two strings in the eyelets on the reel,
then wind the strings completely on the reel in the
same direction and fasten the end of each string
in the 2 opposite grooves. Replace the reel in its
housing and thread the ends of the strings in their
bushings. Pull each string so that about 15 cm
comes out on each side. Reassemble the nylon
string head as shown. If the reel becomes exces-
sively worn, replace it with a whole new reel.
Replacement of entire string reel
If the reel becomes excessively worn, replace it
with a whole new reel.
Replacement of the complete nylon string head
If upon visual inspection (and in any case after a
violent bump) the casing on the nylon string head
appears damaged, it should be replaced. For this
operation see “Usable cutting tools and their
installation on the machine”.
CAUTION! Before using the machine read
the following chapters carefully: “Safety
Precautions” and “Description of safety devices”.
CAUTION! Always wear the recommended
personal protection gear.
CAUTION! Before using the machine, make
sure all the parts are properly assembled.
CAUTION! In mounting the cutting utensils
follow the instructions in the chapter entitled “Usable cutting tools and their installation on
the machine”. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THE
BRUSH CUTTER IF THE SPECIFIC SAFETY
GUARD FOR THE CUTTING DEVICE IN USE IS
NOT SECURELY FASTENED (see chapter
“Assembly of safety guards”). Failure to follow this
rule can expose you to serious danger such as:
a) possible contact with rotating and cutting parts
b) possible contact with flying debris.
CAUTION! Do not use worn or damaged
cutting devices.
CAUTION! Try to limit contact and impact
of the cutting devices against the ground
and other objects as much as possible. Hold the
cutting device away from your body.
CAUTION! Twigs or grass may jam
between the safety guard and the blade or
nylon string head. Never try to remove this material with the engine running and the blade rotating. Always stop the engine before performing
any operations of cleaning, and wait for the cutting device to stop in order to prevent injury.
CAUTION! During use and for a few min-
utes after switching off the machine, the
gearbox and zone near the shaft on which the
cutting device is fastened are very hot. Contact
can cause burns. Do not touch these parts if they
are still hot.
CAUTION! The muffler and its guard are
very hot during use and after the engine has
been switched off, even with the engine running at
minimum speed. Contact can cause burns. Do
not touch these parts if they are still hot.
The machine is ideal to complete the work of the
lawnmover. In fact, it can reach places where a
normal lawnmower is unable to go. During the
cutting operations, keep the engine running at
high speed. After every cutting stage, decelerate
the engine to minimum speed as running it at top
speed without a load can damage the engine
severely. Never raise the brush cutter above knee
level during cutting. Wait until the engine is running at minimum speed before moving the
machine from one section to another. Stop the
engine when you change workplace. Before you
start cutting again, make sure your position is
correct and stable. Cutting and trimming grass
borders with the nylon string head
CAUTION! For nylon string heads, use only
strings made of flexible material recommended by the manufacturer. For example, you
should never use metal wire because it could
cause serious injuries to people, property and animals. An unsuitable string could break and turn
into a very dangerous missile.
Cutting with the nylon string head is suitable for
light jobs like trimming borders and cutting the
grass around trees.
Mowing
To prevent damage to your lawn or the cutting
mechanism, keep the string parallel to the ground
but avoid contact with the terrain.
Trimming borders
Angle the nylon string head keeping it a short distance from the ground. Cut using the end of the
string. Do not press the string against the material
to be cut.
Drawing out the string
As you cut, the nylon string wears down naturally.
When this happens, to draw out more string bump
the head against the ground (see paragraph entitled “Tap and go system for nylon string head”).
N. Cutting techniques
Page 13
10 - ENGLISH
Thinning grass with the grass cutter blade
Cutting with the blade is recommen d ed for thinning the
grass, especially when tall and sturdy.
N2.
The grass is cut with swinging motions from side to
side, mainta ining th e blade pa rallel to the grou nd. During
the right to left sw ing the grass is cu t, while the backswing
must be made without using the blade. KICKBACK can
occur when cutting is done wi th the risk sector of the
blade; we recommend cutting with the re st of the blade.
Take care t hat the cup supporting the blade just grazes
the ground. This will prevent the blade from touching the
ground.
This section contains information useful for maintaining
the characteristics of eco- compatibility in cluded in the
origin design of the machine, and as regards proper use
and disposal of oil and f uel.
Design
In the de sign s tage, c are wa s take n to de velop an en gine
with reduced consumption and low emissions of noise
and pollutant exhaust fumes.
Use of machine
The operations of filling the tank with the fuel mixture
should be carried out in such a way as to avoid spilling
fuel and contaminating the soil and environment.
Periods of prolonged disuse
Always empty the fuel tank with the same precautions
used in filling it (
O
).
Disposal
Do not disp os e i na pp r op riately of the m ac h in e w h en it is
no longer usable. Deliver it to an authorized organization
for proper disposal in compliance with the regulations in
force.
The engine co ntinue s to hav e problem s: con ta ct yo ur auth orize d sup plier
CAUTION!
Always work with a sharp blade. A
blade with worn teeth can create problems in
cutting and can cause KICKBACK, that is, a
violent thrust on the f ront of the machine caused
by the impact of the blade against wood or solid
foreign bodies. This kickback can cause loss of
control of the machine. Never sharpen a
damaged blade: replace with a new one.
N1. CAUTION!
Do not let the blad e cut in th e risk
sector to prevent kickback (see paragraph “Safety
precautions”).
