Prior to use

• Do not use this machine for any other purpose than that for which it was designed, using the proper cutting devices as indicated in the instructions.

• B1. Anyone who uses the machine should have read the entire manual with extreme care.

• Make sure you know how to stop the engine and blade if necessary (see section entitled “Starting and stopping the engine”).

• All users should be familiar with the operations for use of the machine under absolutely safe conditions as described in this manual, and should be instructed in the proper cutting techniques to use, possibly by practical demonstration.

• Do not use the machine if you are tired, in poor health or under the effects of alcohol or medication that could affect your reactions.

• Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with these instructions and are not sufficiently trained to use the brush cutter. Local regulations may specify an age limit for users.

• Keep this manual with the machine when selling or lending it, to enable the future users to familiarize themselves with the product and instructions for safe use.

• Always inspect the machine carefully prior to use: make sure it is correctly assembled and that there are no loose screws, damaged parts, fuel leaks.

• Replace any accessories (blades, nylon string heads, guards) which show damage or cracks or appear excessively worn. Have your Authorized Service Center replace any damaged parts.

• Perform all operations of maintenance and/or assembly ONLY with the engine off and wearing gloves.

Apparel

• B2. Dress suitably for the job; wear approved personal protection gear: a) Close-fitting clothing (no shorts or loose clothes). b) Safety boots with non-slip sole, crush-resistant toe cap and protection against cuts (do not wear sandals or work barefoot). c) Sturdy gloves

CAUTION! The cutting parts and muffler may get very hot and cause burns. Wait a few minutes before touching them.

resistant to cuts and vibrations. d) Safety visor or protective goggles. Remove the protective film if any. e) Hearing protection. The use of personal protection gear does not eliminate the risk of injury but may reduce the effect of the damage in case of accidents.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the moving parts of the machine.

• Watch out for the rotating parts and hot surfaces of the machine.

Health precautions

CAUTION! Avoid prolonged use. Noise and vibrations may be



dangerous.

• Prolonged use of the machine or other equipment expose the operator to vibrations that can cause the White Finger Syndrome (Syndrome of Raynaud). This could reduce the sensitivity of the hands in distinguishing different temperatures and cause a general numbness. The operator should therefore check the conditions of the hands and fingers if the machine is used continuously or regularly. If one of the symptoms should appear, consult a doctor immediately.

• Prolonged use of the machine or other equipment can cause discomfort, stress, fatigue, hearing damage. Wear suitable hearing protection when using the machine. Correct and scrupulous maintenance can also help to protect you further from the risk of noise and vibration.

• Never start or run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated place.

CAUTION! The exhaust fumes are toxic if inhaled, and may cause



asphixiation and even death.

Work zone

• Examine the work area and be careful of any hazards (such as roads, driveways, power lines, hanging tree limbs, etc.).

• Before use, remove any rubbish from the work area such as rocks, broken glass, ropes, metal parts, cans, bottles and any foreign body that could become entangled with rotating parts or

be projected dangerously at a distance. Contact between the blades and any extraneous objects could cause serious injury to the operator or other people or animals in the vicinity, and could also damage the machine.

• B3. Cut only the material recommended for

each accessory and take care not to let the blades come into contact with rocks, metal parts, etc.

• Take special care when working on sloping terrain.

• B4. Keep any other persons or animals away from the work zone (minimum distance 15 meters). Since there is a danger when you are working that the blade or nylon string head could throw out grass, dirt, rocks or foreign bodies, when someone approaches switch the engine off or stop the blade or rotating head (see section entitled “Starting and stopping the

engine”).

• Take account of possible hazards that may not

be perceived because of the noise of the machine.

• Make sure there is someone in the vicinity within safe calling distance in case of accident.

During use

• B5. Fasten your hair above shoulder length.

• B6. Use the machine holding it to the right of

your body so that the exhaust fumes can escape freely without obstruction from your clothing. If you have never used a brush cutter before, practice using it for a while before actually starting to work with it

• B6. While working, grip the brush cutter firmly with both hands. Stand in a stable position on your feet.

• Keep the grips clean and dry.

• Before starting to work, make sure you are

wearing the harness correctly. Adjust the buckle so that the brush cutter is well balanced on your right side with the blade or nylon string head parallel to the ground, from 0 to 30 cm above it.

• B7. harness ring (B) should be kept in the original position so as not to unbalance the machine.

• Never try to use the machine with any of its parts missing or defective, or after any alterations have been made to it by persons other than authorized service personnel.

• The operator or user is liable for any accidents or damages to third parties and property, and for the dangers to which they may be exposed.

• Do not use the brush cutter while standing on a ladder or other unstable support. You should always be able to control your balance.

• Do not use the machine under extreme weather conditions such as very low temperatures or in a very hot, damp climate.

• Avoid working in bad weather (fog, rain, wind, etc.).

• The blade is sharp, so be very careful when handling it even with the engine off. Wear work gloves. Switch the engine off and wait for all rotating parts to come to a complete stop before performing any operation on the machine or touching the blade or nylon string head, especially if you have to remove any material entangled with those parts.

• Keep all parts of your body and clothing away from the blades during startup or when the engine is running.

• During use, keep the work zone in front of you. Never cut walking backwards as you cannot see possible hazards.

• Do not put the machine down with the engine running. Never leave the machine alone.

• Never leave the machine with the engine running.

CAUTION! In order to ensure proper operation and safe use of the



machine, make sure to use original replacements at all times.

Precautions for carrying the machine

• B8. Never carry the brush cutter, even for short distances, with the engine running. Switch off the engine and carry it with the blade or nylon string head facing backward.

• B8. When you transport the brush cutter in a motor vehicle, place it in a stable fixed position so that no fuel leaks out. We recommend emptying the fuel tank whenever you transport the machine.

CAUTION! For your safety, during transport and storage, always



protect the blade with the guard supplied with the machine.

Fire prevention precautions

• B9. Never work with the brush cutter in the presence of fire or spilled gasoline.

• B9. When filling the fuel tank, dry any spilled fuel. Do not smoke during this operation. Start the engine at a distance from the filling site and far away from any fuel tanks (at least 3 meters). Do not fill the tank with the engine running.

• Keep the machine clean by removing any grass cuttings, leaves, excess oil to reduce the fire hazard.
