FA Aoid contact of the eyes and skin with any oi or fuel. Do not rhal the gasoline fumes as they are toxic. Do not start or run the motor in close or poory ventiated places. The exhaust fumes are poisonous to breathe and can be asphydaing and even fatal. Work zone Exarine the work area and be carefui of any haz- ards (such as roads, driveways, power Ines, hang- ing tree imbs, etc). Take special care when wwordng on sloping terain. Before use, remove any rubbish from the work area such as rocks, broken gjass, ropes, metal parts, cans, bols and any foreign body that could become entanged with rotating parts or be projectecl dangerous} at a distance Take account of possible haz- ar that may not be perceived because of the noise of the machine. Make sure there is someone in he vicinity within sale caling distance in case of accident. During use During use and for a few minutes ater sutching off he machine, the gearbox and zone near the shaft on which the cuting device is fastened are very hot. The mufler and its guard are very hot during use and after the engine has been suitched of, even wilh the engine run- ring at minimum speed. Contact can cause bus. Do not touch these parts if they are stil hot. Thigs or grass may jam between the safety guard and'the blade or nylon sting head. Never ty to remove this material with the engine rumning and the black rotating. Watch out for the rotaling parts and hot surfaces of the machine. Contact between the blades and any extraneous objects could cause serious iniury to the operator or other people or animals in the vicinity, and could also damage the machine. Cut only the material recommended for each accessory and take care not to ltthe blades come into contact with rocks, metal parts, etc. The blade is sharp, so be very carefu when handing iteven with the engire of. 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 black or nylon sting head could throw out grass, dt, rocks or or- eign bodies, when someone approaches sudtch the engine off or stop the blade or rotating head (see section eniled “Starting and stopphg the engine Fasten your hair above shouider length. Siart the machine in a fat place, in a stable postion, making sure the cuting tool does not touch any obstacles, Use the machine holding it to the right of your body so that the exhaust fumes can escape freely without obstruction from vour clothing. Wie working, grip the brush cutter fly with both hande. Stand in a stable position on your feet. Keep the grips clean and chy. Do not use the rush cutter while standing on a laddker or other unstable support. You should ahvays be ab to control your balance. Never use the machine under extreme weather conditions or in bad weather (very low temperalures, very hot, humid cimate, fog, rain, wind, etc).

Precautions for canying the machine 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. For your safety, dur- ing transport and storage, always protect the blade with the guard supplied with the machine {see “Protection for transport}. When you trans- port the brush cutter in a motor vehicle, place it in à stable fixed position so that no fuel leaks out. We ENGLISH - 3

recommend emptying the fuel tank whenever you transport the machine. Fire prevention precautions Never work with the brush cutter in the presence of fre or spiled gasoine. f you have spit it on yoursef, change Vour clothes at once. Keep the machine clean by removing any grass cutings, leaves, excess oi to reduce the fre hazard Engine exhaust fumes can get very hot and may contain sparks. Do not use the machine near inflammable materiel. The mufler gets very hot during use and remains hot for some time after switching off the engine. This also apples at ide speed. Téke every precau- tion to reduce the fre hazard, especialy in the presence of inflammable materials or ges. Start the engine at a ds- tance from the fling site and far away from any fuel tanks (etleast 8 meters. Wen fling the fuel tank, dry any spiled fuel. Never add fuel the tark when the engine is running or hot to avoid the risk of fre (et the engine cool of before f- ing the tan. Fil the tank outdoor, far from flames or spas. Do not take the cap of the tank with the engine running. Open the cap on the tank carefuly to elminate any excess pressure. After fuelng, dose the cap tight. Take care not to spil any fuel. The fumes produced by the fuel can cause an explosion or fre. Gasolne is high inflammable: before going near any type of fuel, put out vour cigarette, pipe or cigar. Do not smoke or take Sources of heal or sparks near the fuel. Never refuel near or over inflammable objects (ehy leaves, etc]. Kickback Machines equipped with blaces may produce a violent kickback on contact with sold bodies, The force of the kickback can cause the operator to lose con- trol of the machine, The blade is capable of amputating arms and legs. Aways work with a sharp blade. À blade with wom teeth can create problems in cutting and can cause KICKBACK, that is, a violent thrust on the front of the machine caused by the impact of the blade against wood or sold foreign boches, This kickback can cause Joss of control of the machine. Never sherpen a damagedi blade: replace with a neur one. Kikback can also occur when cuting with any type of blade in the hazardous zone (eee 13). Do not let the blade cut inthe risk sector to prevent kickback. [ C. Description of the safety devices on the machine AUBEE Satety lever Never use the machine with its Safety lever pressed with adhesive tape, string or other. This device serves to prevent accidentally press- ing the throttle trigger (fig. À no. 3). In fact, the trigger (fig. A no. 3), can only be pressed if the safety lever is pressed at the same time (fig. À no. 17). By means of 2 separate springs, upon releasing the grip, the throttle trigger (fig. À no. 3) and safety lever (fig. À no. 17) return automatically to their original positions. Antivibration device The machine is equipped with an antivibration device which serves to reduce the vibrations transmitted to the operator. Engine stop device Turn the stop button Stop (fig. A no. 7) to O / STOP to stop the engine. To make sure this but- ton works properly, start the engine and check that it stops when the Stop button is tumed to the Stop position Protection for transport À BIDIE Never use a machine with the blade cover still on. ENGLISI The guard covers the sharp extremities of the blade when the machine is in the resting position for transport or storage. Safety guard ABB This very important safety device (fig. À no.19) prevents any objects that come into contact with the cutting device, or the grass itself, from flying up and striking the operator. Safety pole guard À EBEE This device, fastened to the machine, ensures a minimum distance between the operator and the cutting device during use, and prevents the machine from striking and injuring the operator if the blade hits a hard surface (fig. À no. 18). Muffler AUBOGGUEL The mufller serves to reduce the noise level to à minimum and to route the exhaust fumes pro- duced by the combustion engine away from the operator. Harness CAUTION! It is very important to famil- iarize yourself with the release mecha-

nism. In case of emergency you need to be able to release the machine quickly. The hamess is equipped with a fasten-release mechanism, The harness enables the operator to support the machine during use (see “Safety pre- caution”, B7). [ D. Fuel Mixture Preparation of the mixture AUDE Do not use any other type of fuel than the type recommended in this manual. This machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and should therefore be fueled with a mixture of unleaded gasolne (with a minimum octane rating = 90) and fully synthetic oil specific for two-speed engines that use unleaded gasoline in the propor- tions indicated in the table on the cover, fig. D. Control the specifications of the oil shown on the package: the use of oil lacking the specifications express}y indicated in this manual could cause serious damage to the engine! To obtain the best mixture, pour the oil into an approved container first, followed by the gasoline, and shake the container well (every time you take fuel out of it. The characteristics of the mixture tend to deterio- rate in time, so you should only prepare as much mixture as you are going to need (the use of deteriorated fuel can seriously damage the engine). Filing the tank À IDE Clean the area around the fuel cap before remov- ing it, to prevent any impurities from contaminat- ing the fuel. Take the cap off the fuel container carefully. Unscrew the cap on the fuel tank and fil it with the necessary quality, using a funnel. During use, to prevent problems in starting the engine again, we strongly recommend that you avoid letting the fuel run out in the tank. Fuel storage À IE Store the fuel in a cool, wel-ventilated place, in an approved fuel storage container. Never store the engine with fuel in the tank in a poorly ventilated place where the fumes produced by the gasolne could propagate and reach a fire, candle, burer or fumace pilot light, water heater, dryer, etc. Never store excessive quantities of fuel. [ E. Assembly/disassembly ] Et. Delta grip A BEBE For your safety, fasten the delta handle in front of the label placed on the shaît at a distance of at least 11 cm from the rear grip. The handle should be fastened in a comfortable working position. If you are using sawtooth blades, the grip distance should be moved by at least 36 cm. The safety pole guard should be mounted using the acces- sories supplied and in the configuration shown in the figure.in contact with the delta handle. E2. Double handled grip (A) The grip (A) can be adjusted to suit the needs of the operator by moving it forward or backward Loosen the knob, place the handle in the desired position then tighten the knob again CAUTIONI The handle assembly (A) can be folded parallel to the transmission shaît to faciitate transport and storage of the machine.

Safety guard extension (exclusively for use with nylon string head) The string cutting blade housed in the plas- tic shield wi cut the nylon string to opti- mum 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. The extension (B) should be installed only for use with the nylon string head, with the aid of the string cutter blade (L), that regulates the length of the string and thus the cutting diameter. For cor- rect assembly see the illustration on the cover and perform the following sequence of steps: Insert the extension (B) on the safety guard (A) at the reference notches (C), and fasten with the screws (D), then apply the sting cutter blade (L) and fasten it with the screw (E) (Make sure the screws are tightened all the way (E) and are not loosened by the vibrations. If necessary, tighten them again). E5.

[ 1. Techniques for use AUGEGUEE DUBELE Cutting techniques 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. Wait until the engine is running at minimum speed before moving the machine from one section to another. The machine is ideal to complete the work of the lawnmover. In fact, it can reach places where a normal lannmower is unable to go. Cutting and trimming grass borders with the nylon string head 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 dis- tance from the ground. Cut using the end of the string. Do not press the string against the material to be cut.

11. Drawing out the string (A)

During cutting, the nylon string wears naturally causing an increase in the speed of the engine and a reduced cutting capacity. When this hap- pens, to bring out more string bump the head against the ground: release the throttle trigger to reduce the engine speed to less than 8000 rpm. Tap gentiy 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.

12. Drawing out the string (B)

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

13. Thinning grass with the grass cutter blade

À BE The grass is cut with swinging motions from side to side, maintaining the blade parallel to the ground. During the right to left swing the grass is cut, while the backswing must be made without using the blade: KICKBACK can occur when cutting is done with the risk sector of the blade; we recommend cut- ting with the rest of the blade. Take care that the cup supporting the blade just grazes the ground This will prevent the blade from touching the ground. Use of sawtooth blade A BELLE Do not attempt to cut trees with a larger than recommended diameter, to prevent the risk of kickback or damage to the blade. The sawtooth blade serves to cut bushes and small trees, with maximum diameter of seven centimeters. Rest the left side of the special shield on the trunk while cutting to limit the risk of losing control of the machine. [ L. Environmental information This section contains information useful for main- taining the characteristics of eco-compatibility included in the origin design of the machine, and as regards proper use and disposal of oil and fuel. Design In the design stage, care was taken to develop an engine with reduced consumption and low emis- sions of noise and pollutant exhaust fumes. Use of machine The operations of filing the tank with the fuel mix- ENGLISI ture should be carried out in such a way as to avoid spiling fuel and contaminating the soil and environment. Periods of prolonged disuse Always empty the fuel tank with the same precau- tions used in filing it. Disposal Do not dispose inappropriately of the machine when it is no longer usable. Delver it to an authorized organization for proper disposal in compliance with the regulations in force.
