be used in safety. Regular maintenance is
essential for safety and a consistently high
performance.
D2. Do not use the machine if any parts are
damaged or worn. These parts must be
replaced, not repaired. Use original spare
parts. The cutting tools must always bear the
manufacturer's mark as well as the maximum
working speed and direction of rotation for
circular saw blades. Spare parts that are not
the same quality may damage the machine
and jeopardise safety.
D3. Wear thick gloves to remove and refit the
cutting tools.
D4. Never store the brush cutter with fuel in
the tank in an environment where petrol
fumes could come into contact with a
flame, spark or sources of extreme heat.
D5. Store the brush cutter in a clean and dry
environment, out of the reach of children.
D6. Let the motor cool down before it is sto-
red in any environment.
D7. To reduce the risk of fire, clean any leaves,
grass or excess oil from the brush cutter,
especially its motor, cooling fins, exhaust
pipe and fuel tank.
D8. While it is being stored or transported, cover
the blade with its guard in order to prevent
accidental injury.
D9. If the fuel tank has to be drained, do so
outdoors when the motor is cold.
D10. In order to protect the environment, do not
throw used oil or fuel into sewers, down
drains, or directly onto the ground. Your local
service station will be able to recycle the oil
and the fuel in complete safety.
ASSEMBLY
The brush cutters are supplied pre-assembled in
their packaging. Nevertheless, the following simple
operations have to be carried out.
MONO BRUSH CUTTERS
For Mono models with a low motor capacity, it is
necessary fasten the front grip with barrier using
the bottom cap. Once the grip and the bottom cap
have been fitted to the drive pipe, the edge of the
grip has to be positioned on the edge of the label
indicated by the arrow. Fit the screws (with was-
hers) into the grip holes and fit the bolts into their
seats. Tighten the screws a little (Fig. 1A). Then
tighten the screws completely, ensuring that they
are all fastened equally.
WARNING The grip has to be fastened to the
drive pipe in line with the edge of the label indica-
ted by the arrow (label shown on page 9 of this
manual). This position must never been chan-
ged.
For Mono models with a high motor capacity, it
is necessary to fasten the front grip with barrier to
the plastic housing that covers the drive pipe.
Remove the two screws with washer from the hou-
sing; position the grip so that the grip holes are
lined up with the housing holes; refasten the grip
using the two screws with washer (Fig. 1B).
DUPLEX BRUSH CUTTERS
For Duplex models, a grip with bull handles has to
be fitted.
For Duplex models with a low motor capacity,
put the grip with the rubber fittings into its seat; fit
the top element and fasten the grip in the working
position using the screws with washers and the
nuts supplied (Fig. 2A). The bull handles can be
removed if the machine has to be transported or
stored so as to reduce its dimensions.
WARNING The bull handle support is fastened to
the drive pipe in the position shown by the arrow on
the label on page 9 of this manual. This position
must never be changed.
For Duplex models with a high motor capacity,
the bull handles are fastened with a single screw
(Fig. 2B).
To fit the bull handles: unfasten the screw, turning
it anticlockwise, lift the top clamp and fit the hand-
les. Fasten the clamp screw a little, turning it clock-
wise. Position the handles until they are in the wor-
king position and then fasten the whole unit by tigh-
tening the screw completely.
The grip can be folded for transportation or stora-
ge: loosen the screw until the bull handles turn, the
grip can then be fastened in the new position.
FLEX BRUSH CUTTERS
Proceed as follows to assemble the Flex shoulder-
mounted brush cutters:
a) Insert the end of shaft 'a' that protrudes from the
drive pipe into square hub 'b' connected to the
motor (Fig. 3).
b) Press pin 'c' and insert coupling 'd' of the flexible
rubber shaft into the flange hole (Fig. 3). Ensure
that the pin comes up and blocks the flexible
pipe. Pull gently on the metal coupling at the
end of the flexible pipe to check this.
