safety measure involves blocking the shaft rotation:
fit the torx key (or a steel rod) into the hole (Fig. 9),
turn the tool slowly until the key goes into the hole
of the inner ring nut, which will stop the tool rota-
ting. Tighten the head and remove the key from the
hole.
HOW TO WEAR THE STRAPS
For Mono brush cutters with a single strap: pass
the strap over the left shoulder so that it runs from
top left to bottom right (Fig. 10A).
For Mono brush cutters with double strap and for
Duplex models: wear the belt with the padded part
and the brush cutter attachment on the right side.
The release has to be on the front while the straps
should cross on the operator's back (Fig. 10B).
Arrange the belts so that the load is evenly distri-
buted on the shoulders.
For the Flex brush cutters: wear the straps as you
would a normal backpack and fasten the belt
around the waist.
Arrange the belts so that the load is evenly distri-
buted on the shoulders and adjust the waist. If the
shoulder-mounted model is used, put on the back-
pack and connect the elastic strap to flange 'a' in
Fig. 4.
In order to work more efficiently and safely, adjust
the straps according to your height and build.
WARNING Always check the rapid release
system. It must be used in emergencies when the
operator has to get rid of the machine and out of
the straps quickly.
PREPARATION FOR USE
In order to use the brush cutter, clothes have to be
worn that protect against objects thrown up by the
tool (e.g. stones). It is necessary to wear safety
shoes with a slip-proof sole, gloves, safety gog-
gles (the visor is on its own does not protect the
eyes sufficiently), clothes that are not baggy. Do
not wear loose-fitting clothes, scarves, ties, jewel-
lery or other dangling objects that could get caught
on branches. Long hair must be tied up and cove-
red.
Ear protection must also be worn, e.g. earmuffs.
A safety helmet must be worn while pruning,
chopping down trees, brush cutting or any other
work in places where falling objects are a danger.
WARNING Read the Safety measures chapter
of this manual very carefully.
MACHINE INSPECTION
Check that every screw is tightly fastened and that
the mechanical parts are sufficiently lubricated.
Check the blade, ensure it is sharp and that it is not
damaged in any way. Check that the blade disk
guard is in place. Check that the air filter is clean.
Dirty air filters may jeopardise performance.
REFILLING WITH FUEL
USE A MIXTURE OF PETROL AND SPECIAL
HIGH-QUALITY OIL (2%) FOR 2-STROKE ENGI-
NES.
PETROL - OIL PERCENTAGE 50:1
= 2% oil
To prepare the mixture, always use a clean contai-
ner that is suitable for storing petrol.
The petrol and the oil have to be mixed well. To
achieve a good mixture, proceed as follows: pour
half the petrol into a suitable container, then add all
the oil needed to make the required amount of 2-
stroke. Shake the container well to mix. Add the
remaining petrol and mix well by shaking the con-
tainer vigorously.
WARNING
By refuelling, before starting up the engine,
press 4-5 times the PRIMER, situated on the
carburettor.
REFILLING THE FUEL TANK
WARNING Pressure may increase in reci-
pients containing petrol because of the envi-
ronment temperature.
Open the lid carefully to avoid it flying off. Store
the fuel in a cool place and keep it out of the
sun.
PRECAUTION
Position the machine with the tank lid facing
upwards. To make things easier, place the machine
in the position shown in Fig. 11.
Clean the tank lid and the surrounding area to pre-
vent foreign bodies entering the tank.
Fill the tank with petrol, using a suitable container
that prevents accidental fuel spillage.
Make sure that the machine is in a stable position
to prevent it being knocked over.
