2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE
AND TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety
and high performance levels.
Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and never repaired.
Only use original spare parts: the use of
non-original and/or incorrectly fitted parts
will compromise the safety of the machine,
may cause accidents or personal injuries
for which the Manufacturer is under no
circumstance liable or responsible.
Maintenance
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between the
cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
Storage
• Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where the fuel vapours could reach
an open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.
2.5 PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
• Comply with local regulations for
the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE
This machine is a garden tool, namely a
portable brush cutter/grass edge trimmer
with combustion engine for home use.
The machine is essentially composed of an
engine which, employing a transmission shaft
enclosed in a tube and an angle transmission,
drives a cutting means that is configured in
various ways for carrying out different functions
The operator is able to sustain the machine
with the aid of a harness and can operate
the main controls, always keeping a safe
distance from the cutting means.
3.1.1 Intended use
This machine was designed
and manufactured for:
• cutting grass and non-woody vegetation with
a nylon line enclosed in a cutting line head;
• cutting tall grass, dry branches, twigs and
woody shrubs of up to 2 cm diameter,
with the aid of metal or plastic blades;
• cutting wood parts and felling of small trees
(only with a saw blade, if permitted);
• used by one operator.
3.1.2 Improper use
Any other usage not in keeping with the above-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or damage things. Examples of
improper use may include, but are not limited to:
• using the machine for sweeping;
• trimming hedges or other jobs in which the
cutting means is not used at ground level;
• pruning trees;
• using the machine with the cutting means
above the operator's belt level;
