• Cutting line head
NOTE: The cutting line head has a left-hand thread
and so must be unscrewed in a clockwise direction and
screwed up anticlockwise.
- Insert the wrench supplied (2) into the specific hole in
the angle transmission (3) and rotate the cutting line
head (1) by hand until the wrench enters the inner
hole, blocking rotation.
- Remove the cutting line head (1) unscrewing it in a
clockwise direction.
When mounting:
- If they were taken off during disassembly, refit the
spacer (5), the inner ring-nut (4) and the outer ring
(6),making sure that the inner ring-nut (4) grooves-
match perfectly with the angle transmission.
- Fit the cutting line head (1) screwing it up in an anti-
clockwise direction.
- Remove the wrench (2) to restore shaft rotation.

Preparing to Work

Adjusting the carry strap
3
The design and type of carry strap may vary.
• Put on the shoulder strap (1).
• Adjust the length of the belt so that the spring hook
(2) is roughly a hand's width below your right hip.
PLEASE NOTE: This carry strap has a safety
device allowing you to immediately disconnect the
strap from the machine in an emergency. To do so,
pull forcefully on the red pull tab (3) on the strap.
This disconnects the strap from the holding fixture
immediately.
NOTE: Never start the motor with the carry strap
attached to the machine!

Mode of Operation

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.
