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.
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.
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.
Always use the proper protective equipment. Don't use
this machine in areas where you can't see properly.
7.1.2. CUT WITH THE DISC
Check the disc holder and make sure it is tight and
there are no signs of damage or abrasion.
Make sure the disc and disc holder are firmly installed
in accordance with the instructions and that the disc
spins freely without producing abnormal sounds.
CUTTING METHOD:
- Cut with the left front of the disc.
- Always cut to the left keeping the disc slightly
inclined to the left.
IMPORTANT:
- Only use this machine to cut grass. Do not let
the disc touch materials that can not cut as stones,
metals, hard wood, wire mesh, etc.
- Keep the blade sharp. A bad sharpened disc cause
a higher cutting force on the machine as well as
increased risk of rebound or projection materials.
- Keep the area to be cut clean with no traces of
chopped vegetables or other materials.
