1) Make sure all operators study this manual

carefully before using the trimmer; only use this machine for usage specifically mentioned in this manual.

Never allow children to use the trimmer.

2) When working with the trimmer wear suitable

clothes: a) Close fitting protective clothes ( do not wear short trousers or loose clothes). b) Safety shoes (do not wear sandals and do not work barefoot). c) Heavy-duty gloves. d) Safety face shield or goggles. Ensure you peel off the protective films, if existing, from the see - through plastic. e) Ear protection. f) Head protection when using circular saw blades. Make sure you know how to stop the engine in an emergency (see the section STARTING AND STOPPING ENGINE). Never use the trimmer when tired, physically indisposed or under the effect of alcohol, certain medicines or other drugs. Be careful of the rotating cutting attachment and hot surfaces on the unit.

3) Prolonged use of this product or other machines

exposing the operator to vibration may produce Whitefinger’s disease (Raynaud’s Phenomenon). This may reduce the hands’ ability to feel and regulate temperature and may produce general numbness. Continual or regular users should therefore monitor closely the condition of their hands or fingers. If any of the symptoms appear, seek immediate medical advice. Always hold the trimmer firmly with both hands. When working maintain a firm foothold. The trimmer must be used exclusively as recommended (see section SAFETY USAGE).

4) Do not carry the trimmer while the engine is

running even for short distances; switch off the engine and carry the unit with the cutting head behind you. When carrying the trimmer in a

vehicle, secure it to avoid fuel leakage. Always empty the fuel tank before transporting the unit. ATTENTION: For your safety the blade must be kept at all times in its proper case during transport and storage. Start the trimmer on a flat surface. When starting the unit, ensure you have a firm footing. Make sure the blade or the nylon string head does not touch the ground or any obstacle.

5) PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE: do not operate

the trimmer near fire or spilled petrol. Do not run the engine in closed or poorly ventilated areas. EXHAUST GASES ARE POISONOUS WHEN INHALED, THEY CAN CAUSE SUFFOCATION AND DEATH.

After refuelling always wipe off any spilled fuel. Do not smoke during this operation. Start the engine far away from the refuelling area and from fuel containers (minimum distance 3 meters). Do not refuel while the engine is still running.

6) Keep people and animals away from working area

(minimum distance 15 meters). If somebody should approach you, turn the engine off and stop the blade or the rotating head (see chapter STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE) as during operation the blade or the nylon string head might project grass, grit, or other debris. The blade is sharp, be careful even if handling it when the engine is off.

Wear heavy-duty gloves. Turn the engine off and wait for rotating parts to stop completely before working on the machine or before touching the blade or the string head above all to remove possible entangled material.

DO NOT USE THE MACHINE AT ALL IF THE SPECIFIED SAFETY GUARD IS NOT FIRMLY

C . Safety usage

ATTACHED (see sections SAFETY USAGE and BLADES AND NYLON STRING HEAD ASSEMBLY).

Pay careful attention to safety recommendations as you might put your life or somebody else’s in danger as a result of: a) possible contact with cutting or rotating parts. b) possibility

of projection of various objects. WARNING: do not start engine if it is not

attached to the shaft as the clutch might disintegrate. For units equipped with a clutch, be sure the cutting attachment stops turning when the engine idles.

This product must be held to the right of the operator’s body.

This will ensure exhaust fumes are directed away from the operator and will not be obstructed by the operator’s clothing. If you have not used a trimmer before, spend some time in becoming familiar with the controls and method of usage before operation.

Check the machine carefully before using it. Make sure that there are no loosened screws,

damaged parts or fuel leakages. Replace damaged or excessively worn acces-

sories (blades, string heads, guards). Ensure all maintenance or repair work is carried

out by an authorised service center. N.B. In order to maintain performance and safety,

e sure to use original spare parts and accessories.

Avoid using the trimmer over excessively long periods of time.

Excessive amounts of vibration can be harmful.

1) Remove from the working area grit, debris,

ropes, metal parts or any other object which might get entangled around the rotating parts or be dangerously projected.

Use only the correct accessory recommended for the type of vegetation to be cut. Do not let the rotating blade contact any foreign object such as stones, rocks, cans etc.

Secure hair to keep it above shoulder height. Before starting to work fit the harness. Adjust harness with the buckle so that the trimmer is well balanced on your right side and the blade or string head is parallel to the ground. Always maintain a firm foothold and a good balance while using the machine. Do not move backwards while you work as obstacles may not be visible.

The fitting of the safety pole barrier is obligatory on units equipped with a delta shaped handle when used with a metal blade.

The purpose of this safety pole barrier is to maintain a safe distance between the metal blade and the user under all normal or exceptional circumstances.

2) Harness ring (B) must never be moved from its

original position to avoid unbalancing the unit.

Front handles can be separately adjusted to make usage easier on units fitted with “U” shaped handles.

3) The following accessories can be assembled to

your trimmer: a) blade, b) nylon string head.

Do not attach any blade to a unit without proper installation of all required parts. Failure to use the proper parts can cause the blade to fly off and seriously injure the operator and/or bystanders.

a) WHEN USING A BLADE ENSURE THE CORRECT GUARD IS FITTED.

b) WHEN USING A NYLON STRING HEAD ENSURE THE CORRECT GUARD IS FITTED.

When using the unit always hold the front part of the machine (blade or nylon string head) below your waist.

NYLON STRING HEAD:

Always make sure it has been correctly assembled and fitted.

The nylon head is suitable to cut grass and weeds wherever there might be obstacles like trees, fences or walls.

The nylon string head also reduces the likelihood of damaging small plants and trees bark.

Only use flexible, nonfilament nylon line in the nylon line head as specified by the manufacturer. Never use metallic line which could break off and become a dangerous projectile.

BLADE:

Always make sure it has been correctly fitted. When fitting or changing a cutting device,

ensure you follow the instructions in the

section “Blade or nylon string head assembly” with extreme precision. Fit these cutting devices using all and only the parts as described, and in the correct order.

4) BLADES: you can cut any type of grass,

brushwood or shrub.

Operate the machine like a sickle always cutting at full throttle.

5) WARNING: always use a well sharpened blade.

A blade with worn teeth besides providing poor performance might also generate a sudden thrust. This can result in a violent sideways kick

ENGLISH - 3

ENGLISH - 4

D. Fuel mix

E. Safety guard assembly

caused when the blade touches against wood or solid bodies, such thrust might then cause the operator to loose control of the machine itself. Never attempt to work with a damaged blade but replace it with a new one.

THRUST: can occur when using any type of circular blade within the risk area: therefore it is advisable to cut using the remaining area of the blade.

CIRCULAR SAW BLADE: it can be used to cut sappling, small trees with a diameter up to 7 cm., to clean shrubs.

WARNING: IF A METAL 24-80 TOOTH BLADE (A SAW TOOTH BLADE) IS USED A DOUBLE

SHOULDER HARNESS AND A SAFETY GUARD (PROTECTION) MUST ALSO BE USED AS MARKED IN THE SUMMARY CHART (SEE CLOTHES SECTION IN SAFETY CHAPTER: ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET).

ALWAYS USE GENUINE ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FROM AUTHORISED SERVICING DEALERS. THE USE OF NON-ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS INCREASES THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS AND IN SUCH A CASE THE COMPANY IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO PEOPLE AND/OR THINGS.

1) In the interest of safety, it is imperative that the

unit is used with the correct guard when using any blade or a nylon string head, except the 2480 tooth blade. Line cutter blade (L): assemble as illustrated.

2) When using a saw tooth blade (optional accessory), the correct guard must be fitted (P/N

240553). A double shoulder harness must also be worn.

Only use blades or nylon string heads clearly marked with a maximum speed of at least 10,500 min

-1

Follow the fitting instructions carefully. N.B: Saw tooth blades (24 - 80 tooth) have a

central base diametre of 20mm and therefore require the use of the appropriate size top flange to ensure a correct fit. The part number is detailed in the cutting attachment summary chart.

Warning! The brushcutter “four stroke 52 PM ” is equipped with a special 4 stroke engine with waste lube , consequently it requires a totally sintetic 2 stroke engine oil or a McCulloch branded 2 stroke engine oil and unleaded petrol mix with a minumum octane rating of 90 (see chart).

Warning! Do not use gasoline for any reasons, as the engine will be seriously damaged.

IMPORTANT

Always shake the fuel mix container thoroughly before pouring any fuel mix.

Fuel mix properties may deteriorate with time and should be used up within 2 months.

We recommend that you prepare fuel mix according to your immediate requirements only. Never use fuel mix more than 2 months old so as to avoid possible engine damage.

WARNING

Do not smoke when re-fuelling.

Always open the fuel cap slowly, to release any pressure build up in the tank.

Re-fuel in open spaces only, keeping away from naked flames or sparks.

SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL

Petrol fuel mix is highly inflammable. Put out all cigarettes, pipes and cigars before working with fuel. Avoid spilling fuel.

Store fuel in a cool, well ventilated place, in an approved container specifically designed for the purpose. Never store engine with fuel in the tank in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such as in a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer etc.

Petrol fumes can cause an explosion or a fire. Never store large amounts of fuel. To prevent possible restarting problems avoid

running the fuel tank dry. This also helps to extend engine life.

WARNING: First read sections: SAFETY RULES, SAFETY USAGE and SYMBOLS.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

1) Position the on/off switch to the I (ON)

position, away from the «STOP» position.

Rotate the choke lever in the direction illustrated by the arrows. This engages the fast idle system.

(at least every 25 working hours). A dust clogged air filter may cause carburetor

problems. This may prevent the engine from reaching its

maximum speed and cause high fuel consumption and/or difficult starting.

Remove filter cover as shown in figure 1. Carefully clean the inside of filter box. The filter can also be cleaned with compressed air.

N.B. Slide the air filter back into its location (C) ensuring the tabs (A) are pointing downwards as illustrated, ensure it clicks firmly into its airtight position.

2) Every 50 working hours inject the gearcase

with gear grease under high pressure through hole (C).

3) SPARK PLUG

From time to time (at least every 50 hours)

remove and clean the spark plug and check the electrode gap (0,5/0,6 mm.). Replace spark plug about every 100 working hours or whenever it is extremely encrusted. Heavily encrusted electrodes can result from wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the petrol) or a poor quality of oil in the fuel mix. Check and correct.

4) FUEL FILTER

To change fuel filter remove the tank cap and pull out the filter with a piece of bent wire or long forceps.

5) MOTOR MAINTENEANCE

Contact your Service Dealer every 100 working hours. This will reduce the possibility of unexpected problems and will ensure maximum product life and efficiency.

REGULARLY: it is important, in order to avoid engine overheating, to remove dust and dirt from slots, gaps and from in between cylinder fins using a wooden scraper.

LONG STORAGE: empty fuel tank and run engine until dry.

Store trimmer in a dry place.

idle position (released). Choke towards (open position ).

5) Depress the safety lever (S), squeeze the accelerator trigger (A) and push the throttle advance forwards (B). Now release the accelerator trigger (A) and then the throttle advance (B).

3) Press the primer bulb (C) several times until you see fuel going back to carburetor through pipe (D). Pull starter rope.

WARNING: when the throttle (B) advance is engaged, the head or blade rotates.

5) ENGINE STOPPING Press the stop switch moving it to STOP position 0.

WARNING: when the engine is switched off

rotating parts, blade or nylon string head, will keep on rotating for a few seconds. Hold the machine until all parts come to a standstill. N.B. In an emergency the above mentioned delay in stopping may be shortened by touching blade parallel on the ground.

To adjust the idle speed, however, proceed as follows:

With engine running and warm, slowly turn screw ‘T’ clockwise until the engine runs smoothly with a consistent noise level but without making the cutting head rotate.

If the cutting attachment does move or the engine runs too fast, slowly turn screw ‘T’ in an anticlockwise direction until the correct speed is obtained.

Precise numerical engine speed settings are mentioned in the technical detail chart in the front of the owner’s manual.

N. Ecology

M. Replacing nylon line

1) Loosen the locking nut on the base of the

nylon head by turning it clockwise.

2) Remove the base cover assembly.

Remove the empty spool from the housing and discard any remaining line.

REWINDING NEW LINE

3) Prepare 2 lengths (8ft each) of 2.4 mm nylon

line. Thread 1 end of each line into the two holes on opposite sides of the spool. Pinch the exposed ends flat with a pair of pliers to prevent them slipping through the hole.

4) Wind the two lines in the same direction

around the spool.

REASSEMBLY

5) Slide the end of the two lines into the grooves

to hold the line temporarily.

6) Position the spool back into the housing and pull the line through the eyelets.

7) Pull about 12cm (5ins) of line out on either side.

8) Reassemble the nylon string head as illustrated; mower gauge,spring and locking nut (tighten in an anti-clockwise direction).

9) N.B: In order to extend the nylon line as it wears down, pull the mower gauge downwards and turn it in a clockwise direction to feed out the desired length of line.

This chapter is about how to maintain the ” eco features” of the machine as originally developed by our engineers, the correct use of this machine and handling of waste oil and fuel.

1. Research on the 4 stroke engine has been developed in order to produce lower fuel consumption and low emission of polluting exhaust gases

2. Use of the machinery: During the fuel filling operation particular care should be taken to

avoid waste fuel polluting the enviroment.

3. When storing for a long period, empty fuel tank and run engine until dry, observing the same precautions as when filling.

4. Disposal of machines: Old machines can be very dangerous for the environment - do not throw them awway!! Please apply to the compotent body authorised to collect industrial waste. As prescribed by National laws on enviroment
