English
Clean the work area and eliminate any obstacles that
could cause accidents. Check the working area and
remove any objects that could cause the cutting tool
of the machine to get tangled on. Also remove any
parts that the cutting tool could violently hit causing
these to move in the direction of the user or other
people and/or animals.
Do not allow any other person into the work area.
All other people must be at least at a distance of 15
metres as it is a dangerous area.
Never leave this machine unattended.
It is imperative that the engine is turned off when
carrying the machine from one working area to another.
Never touch elements that can be hot during
the start up or operating the machine, for
example, the escape, sparks or high voltage
cables.
Do not use accessories except those recommended
by our company as otherwise the use of other non
original accessories could cause severe damages to
the end user, to passers-by and to the machine.
Always follow the safety rules stated in this manual.
7.1. FIXING THE MACHINE AND GUIDANCE
Hold the machine with the harness, hands on the
handles and with the right hand in such a position that
you can action the controls (accelerator and security
switch).
Attention! So as to reduce the risk of loss of control
and possible damages (that could
even be fatal) to the end user and/or
those surrounding him, never use this
machine single handedly.
7.1.1. CUT WITH THE NYLON HEAD
WARNING: Wear eye and audible protection at all
times. Do not look directly to the cutting line because
can cause serious damage to the head and the eyes.
Use the head line in difficult areas.
If the header hits a rock or other object stop the
machine and check its status. Do not use damaged or
poorly balanced heads.
Make cuts from the left to the right to prevent that the
grass fall into the cutting area.
Be careful to not hit the head
with rocks or the ground. The
beatings against objects or the
ground will reduce the life of
the head, may spoil creating a
dangerous environment for you
and the people close to you.
The nylon threads are shortened with the use, when
they are too short accelerate the engine and press the
head against the ground. Then leave wire from the
head. If you leave too much wire the blade will cut in
excess.
Remember that the end of the nylon threat is the one
that makes the cut. Get a better result if you do not
introduce the entire head in the cutting area. Enter
the head slowly and let the nylon tips cut the grass at
their own pace.
WARNING DANGER: Do not operate the brush
cutter in areas with metallic materials.

Hold the brush cutter in the way
that the head do not touch the
ground and with an inclination of
20º in the sense you are cutting.
