6.2.2 Machine operating test
Action
1. Start the machine
(par. 6.3 );
2. Release the throttle
control lever (Fig. 10.A)
and throttle safety
lever (Fig. 10.B).
Only activate the throttle
control lever (Fig. 10.A)
If any of the results fail to match
the indications provided in the tables
below, do not use the machine! Take
it to a service centre to be checked
and repaired if necessary.
6.3 START-UP
1. Make sure the cutting means is not
touching the ground or any other object;
2. fit the battery inside its housing
correctly (par. 7.2.3);
3. simultaneously activate the throttle
control lever (Fig. 10.A)and throttle
safety lever (Fig. 10.B).
NOTE At every start up new line is
automatically released (par. 6.4.2).
6.4 OPERATION
NOTE Before tackling a mowing job
for the first time, get to know the machine,
learn the most suitable cutting techniques,
grip the machine firmly and make the
movements required by the job.
To use the machine proceed as follows:
– always hold the machine firmly with
two hands, using the cutting unit
below the operator's belt level.
NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
NOTE Battery power reserve (and
therefore the cuttable vegetation surface
before recharging is required) depends on
many factors described in (par. 7.2.1).
Result
1. The cutting means
should move.
2. The levers should
return automatically
and rapidly to the
neutral position,
the machine and
the cutting means
should stop.
The throttle control lever
remains blocked.
6.4.1 Work techniques
Use ONLY nylon lines. The use of
metal lines, plasticised metal lines and/
or lines that are not suitable for the head
can cause serious injuries and wounds.
a. Cutting in motion (Scything)
– Make sure the cutting means is in
grass trimmer mode (par. 6.1.5);
– proceed at a regular pace, with a
circular motion similar to a traditional
scythe, without tilting the cutting line
head during the operation
First try cutting at the right height in a small
area, so as to then achieve a uniform cutting
height keeping the cutting line head at a
constant distance from the ground.
For heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the
cutting line head to the left by about 30°.
Do not work in this way if there
is the possibility of causing objects
to be thrown, which could harm
people, animals or cause damage.
b. Precision cutting (Trimming)
Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the
lower part of the cutting line head does not
touch the ground and the cutting line is at the
required point, always keeping the cutting
means at a distance from the operator.
c. Cutting near fences/foundations
– Adjust the cutting limit indicator
(if applicable, par.
– move the cutting line head slowly
towards fences, posts, rocks, walls, etc.
without hitting them
If the line strikes a solid object it could
break or become worn; if it gets tangled
in a fence it could break suddenly.
In any case, cutting around pavements,
foundations, walls, etc. can cause
greater wear than normal to the line.
d. Cutting around trees
– Adjust the cutting limit indicator
(if applicable, par.
– walk round the tree from left to right,
approaching the trunks slowly so as not to
strike the tree with the line and keeping the
cutting line head tilted forward slightly.
Remember that the nylon line could lop off or
damage small shrubs and that the impact of the
