c) After the filter lid has been removed by pressing
the top tab, connect the throttle cable. Pass the
steel cable through the hole of the threaded
adjusting screw fastened to the carburettor.
Then fit the cable in its seat on the throttle lever.
d) Connect the "STOP" cables ('e' in Fig. 3) using
the two connectors.
e) To join the flexible rubber pipe to the rigid drive
pipe:
Fit the flexible shaft that protrudes from the end
of the grip ('a' in Fig. 5) into the square hub on
the rigid part of the drive ('b' in Fig. 5). After cen-
tring reference pin 'c' in its seat, tightly fasten
ring nut 'd' (Fig. 5).
f) Fasten the grip firmly to the drive pipe (Fig. 4).
Once the grip and the bottom cap have been fit-
ted 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 washers) into
the grip holes. The rear left screw must also be
used to fasten flange 'a' in Fig. 4. Insert the nuts
into their seats and tighten the screws a little.
Then firmly tighten all the screws equally.
If the dimensions of the brush cutter have to be
reduced for transportation or storage, loosen the
ring nut ('d' in Fig. 5) and separate the rigid drive
shaft from the flexible shaft. The flexible pipe can
also be separated from the motor by extracting it
from its seat: to do this, press the pin ('c' in Fig. 3)
and at the same time remove the shaft from the
flange by taking it by the metal coupling. If the
shoulder-mounted model is used, put on the back-
pack and connect the elastic strap to flange 'a' Fig.
4.
WARNING The grip has to be fastened in line
with the arrow on the drive pipe. This position
must never be changed.
FASTENING THE GUARD
Never work without the guard. The guard must
be fitted with the screws with washers that come
with the machine (Fig. 6). If a 4-pointed disk is fit-
ted to the brush cutter, the tool has to be removed
before the guard is fitted: stop the drive shaft from
rotating by using the torx key (Fig. 8) and then
unfasten the screw by turning it clockwise.
The guard must be the correct type both for the
machine model and for the cutting tool.
When the line head is used, the guard must be fit-
ted with a line-cutting blade. If the blade disk
guard is not fitted with a line cutter, then the guard
has to be fitted with the bottom band with knife.
After the bottom band and its guides have been fit-
34
ted into the seats, press the band towards the
guard so that all the teeth are released (Fig. 7).
If the saw disk is used, a suitable guard has to
be fitted.
The saw disk must not be used if the machine or
the guard bear the symbol forbidding the use of this
tool (symbol shown on page of this manual).
WARNING In order to guarantee that the brush
cutter is used properly and safely, the assembly
instructions for the protection and safety com-
ponents must be followed meticulously. The
manufacturer shall not be held liable if the brush
cutter is used without the aforementioned protec-
tion and safety devices.
CUTTING TOOL ASSEMBLY
The use of cutting tools other than the 2-line
heads, metal disks or circular saw blades may
cause premature wear or damage the machine.
METAL DISK OR CIRCULAR BLADE DISK
ASSEMBLY
a) Put on a pair of safety gloves before touching
the metal disk.
b) Using the key supplied, remove the hexagonal
head screw by turning it clockwise. Remove the
elastic washer, fixed housing and ring nut B.
c) Fit the metal disk in between ring nut A and ring
nut B, check that the grooves on the ring nuts
and the head shaft fit together perfectly. Position
the fixed housing and fasten the hexagonal
screw by turning it anticlockwise.
d) The final safety measure involves blocking the
shaft rotation: fit the torx key (or a steel rod) into
the hole (Fig. 8), turn the tool slowly until the key
goes into the hole of the inner ring nut, which
will stop the tool rotating. Tighten the screw and
remove the key from the hole.
WARNING If the brush cutter bears the war-
ning symbol on page 9, the circular saw blade
must not be used. Using the circular saw blade
with brush cutters bearing this symbol puts the
operator at risk of serious injury or even death.
LINE HEAD ASSEMBLY
With ring nut A already fitted onto the head shaft,
turn the line head anticlockwise (the threading is
left-handed) (Fig. 9). If the Tap & Go head is fitted,
a protective plate has to be inserted between the
head and the ring nut. The plate must be fitted with
the flat part against the plastic head. The final
