most favourable point for keeping the machine balanced
when working.
Always use webbing suited to the weight of the machine
and the cutting device used
- the single or double belt models can be used for
machines weighing less than 7.5 kg fitted with the
cutting line head or 3 or 4-point blades;
- the double belt model must be used for machines
weighing more than 7.5 kg fitted with the saw
blade (if permitted).
1. Wear the belt on the arm, and insert the latch(1) on the
left side into the right lock(2), the belt is fitted.
2. You can adjust the belt board height by the two
adjusters(3) and (4) below.
3. Release the belt: You can release the belt by pull
the right side belt plastic plate (5) until the lock pin
out, and pull out the left side latch, the belt would be
release.
USING THE MACHINE
WARNING! When working, the machine must
always be firmly held in both hands, keeping the
power unit on the right of the body and the cutting
group below the line of the belt.
WARNING! Stop the engine immediately if the
blade stops during sawing. Always beware of a
kickback, which could occur if a blade encounters
a solid object (logs, roots, branches, stones, etc.).
Do not touch the ground with the blade. Kickbacks
cause blade recoils that are difficult to control, so as
to cause loss of control of the machine, compromise
operator safety and cause damage to the machine
itself.
Before tackling a mowing job for the first time it is advis-
able to gain the necessary familiarity with the machine
and the most suitable cutting techniques, finding out
how to wear the webbing correctly, firmly gripping the
machine and making the movements required by the job.
• Choosing the cutting device
Choose the most suitable cutting device for the job to be
done, according to these general indications:
- the 3-point blade is suitable for cutting brushwood
and small shrubs up to 2 cm in diameter;
- the cutting line head can eliminate tall grass and
non-woody vegetation near fences, walls, foundations,
pavements, around trees, etc. or to completely clean a
particular area of the garden;
WORKING TECHNIQUES
a) 3-point blade (Fig. 10)
Start cutting above the under growth and then move
down with the scything blade so as to cut the brush into
small pieces.
b) Cutting line head
WARNING! Use ONLY nylon lines. The use of
GB | Operating Instruction
metal lines, plasticised metal lines and/or lines not
suitable for the head can cause serious injuries and
wounds.
During use it is advisable to stop the engine periodically
and remove the weeds wound round the machine, so
as to prevent the drive tube from overheating due to the
grass caught under the guard. Remove the caught-up
grass with a screwdriver to allow the rod to be properly
cooled.
tilting the cutting line head. The power of the engine
could throw objects and small stones 15metres or
more, causing damage and injuries to people.
• Cutting in motion (Scything) (Fig. 11)
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 by about 30°.
possibility of causing objects to be thrown, which
could harm people and animals and cause damage.
• 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 device at a distance from the operator.
• Cutting near fences/foundations (Fig. 12)
Slowly approach the cutting line head to fences, posts,
rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them hard. If the line
strikes a solid object it could break or become worn; if it
gets tangled in a fence it could break abruptly.
In any case, cutting around pavements, foundations,
walls, etc. can cause greater wear than normal in the line.
• Cutting round trees (Fig. 13)
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 or damage small
shrubs and that the impact of the nylon line against the
trunk of bushes or trees with soft bark could seriously
damage the plant.
• Adjusting line length when working (Fig. 14)
This machine is fitted with a "Tap & Go" head.
To release more line, tap the cutting line head against
the round with the engine at top speed: the line will be
released automatically and the knife cut off the excess
length.
