the blade between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. Apply full throttle before advancing
the blade (Fig.2).
• To fell to the right, the bottom of the tree should be pushed to the left. Tilt the
blade and bring it diagonally up to the right. Cut with the area of the blade
between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock so that the direction of rotation of the blade
pushes the bottom of the tree to the left (Fig.3).
• To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be pulled backwards.
Pull the blade backwards with a quick, firm movement (Fig.4).
• If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your walking pace to suit.
• If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the machine free. If you do this the
blade, bevel gear, shaft or handlebar may be damaged. Release the handles,
grip the shaft with both hands and gently pull the machine free.
Using the circular saw blade
WARNING: Circular saw blades are suitable for thinning brush and
cutting small trees up to a diameter of 5 cm. Do not attempt to cut trees with
larger diameters, since the blade may catch or jerk the clearing saw forward.
This may cause damage to the blade or loss of control of the clearing saw which
may result in serious injury.
WARNING: A saw blade can only be used in connection with the proper
guard a twin handle and double harness with release mechanism.
Brush cutting with a saw blade
• Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work with a sawing movement,
swinging sideways.
• Try to cut several stems in a single sawing movement.
• With groups of hardwood stems, first clear around the group. Start by cutting
the stems high up around the outside of the group to avoid jamming. Then cut
the stems to the required height. Now try to reach in with the blade and cut from
the centre of the group. If it is still difficult to gain access, cut the stems high up
and let them fall. This will reduce the risk of jamming (Fig.5).

BLADE SHARPENING (2-3-4 TOOTH)
1. Blades are reversible: when one side is no longer sharp, the blade can be turned over and used on
the other side.
2. Blades are sharpened using a flat single-cut file.
3. To maintain the correct balance, file all cutting edges uniformly.
4. If the blades are not sharpened correctly, they can generate abnormal vibrations in the machine and
ultimately break.
BLADE SHARPENING
Always check the general condition of the blade.
Correct sharpening ensures maximum performance of the brush cutter. To sharpen the teeth, use a file
or grindstone and proceed with light touches, respecting the corners and the dimensions.
SHARPENING THE SAW BLADE
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. A correctly sharpened blade
is essential for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and clearing saw.
• Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file it. Use a 5.5 mm round file.
• The filing angle is 15°. File alternate teeth to the right and those in between to the left. If the blade has
been heavily pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in
exceptional cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The top edges must be filed
down by the same amount for all the teeth.
WARNING! The wrong type of cutter or an incorrectly sharpened blade will increase the risk of
kickback. Check mower blades for deterioration or cracks, and replace if damaged.
WARNING: Never repair damaged cutting attachments by welding, straightening or
modifying the shape. This may cause parts of the cutting tool to come off and result in serious
or fatal injuries.
