Fit the cover/rocket/bushing into the head body, ensuring that the tabs(5) are in place.

OPERATION

Fig.14 - To lengthen the thread: turn the head while keeping the motor running. Knob (1) on the ground. Each click corresponds to approx. 3 cm. of wire extension.

WARNING: Do not tap the head on hard surfaces, it can be dangerous.

6. PREPARATION FOR USE

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

Fig.15 - Adjusting the harness and position of the brushcutter.

Put on the harness, hook the brushcutter(1) onto the belt via the hook(2). Position the buckle to obtain the correct height for the brushcutter. By loosening the screw(3) adjust the hook(2) so that the disc or brushcutter head hangs approximately 5 cm above the ground.

FUEL

Fig.15 -2 STROKE - WARNING: : The brushcutter is equipped with a 2-stroke engine, therefore only fuel mixed with special oil for 2-stroke engines should be used. Only prepare the mixture required for use. Do not smoke and always refuel with the engine switched off and away from flames. Use fuel with an octane rating of not less than 90. Only mix petrol with 2-stroke oil. Use a different synthetic 2-stroke oil at a ratio of 1:50 (2%) or mineral oil at a ratio of 1:25 (4%).

Important: Stir the canister vigorously and for a long time, this should be carefully repeated each time fuel is taken from the canister. The characteristics of the mixture are subject to ageing and therefore alter over time. Do not use a mixture that has been prepared for several weeks, as this could result in engine damage. Fill the fuel tank only 3/4 full to allow the mixture to expand.

REFUELING

WARNING: Refueling must be carried out with the engine switched off. Slowly unscrew the tank cap to allow any excess pressure to escape.

Tighten the tank cap correctly after refuelling. Move the brushcutter at least 3 m away from the refuelling point before starting the engine. Thoroughly clean around the tank cap before refuelling. Dirt inside the tank causes engine malfunctions. Ensure that the mixture is homogeneous by shaking the canister or tank.

START THE ENGINE

Place the brushcutter on a flat, clear surface and check that the cutting tool is free to rotate. Set the switch to position(1)Fig. 17. Press the bulb (C) 5 or 6 times Fig. 19. Move the choke lever(C)to close position(A)Fig.18. Hold the brushcutter stationary and pull the starter lever (C) back to the original open position(B) Fig. 18. Repeat the starting manoeuvre until the engine starts. With the engine running, press the throttle(2)Fig. 17 to release it from the automatic half throttle position and bring the engine to idling speed.

WARNING: When the engine is already hot, do not press the bulb(C)Fig.19 and do not use the starter for starting. Do not suddenly release the starter rope, this could damage the starter unit.

STOP THE ENGINE

Move the throttle lever(2)Fig.17 to the idle position and wait a few seconds to allow the engine to cool down. Move the ground switch to the stop position(0)Fig. 17.

WARNING: When the engine is idling (2600 \~ 3000 rpm) the cutting tool must not rotate. If the idle speed is too high, unscrew the screw (H)Fig. 3 anticlockwise.

WARNING: After intensive use of the machine do not suddenly switch off the engine but let it idle for a few minutes to stabilise it. Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters become very hot during use and remain so for a long time after the engine has stopped. This happens even when the engine is idling. Contact can cause skin burns.

Never add fuel to a machine when the engine is running or hot. FIRE HAZARD.

Move at least 3 metres away from the refuelling position before starting the engine. DO NOT SMOKE!

7. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodically check that all brushcutter screws are in place and tight. Replace damaged, worn, cracked and uneven blades. Always check that the nylon wire head or blade is fitted correctly, and that the screw securing the blade is properly tightened.

CAUTION: USE ONLY ORIGINAL SABO SPARE FILTERS – THE USE OF NON-ORIGINAL FILTERS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

AIR FILTER
