Operating instructions

Important instructions for all Models:
- Approach cutting task by running machine in
idle and then at full throttle.
- Never accelerate the engine without a load.
Warning: In order to achieve optimum
cutting, it is necessary that the
brushcutter is operated at full throttle.
It is also necessary that cutting takes place in
the recommended direction.
Move the cutting attachment two-thirds into the
respective area to be cut. Then use the cutter
like a scythe (illustration 3) by moving forward
step by step and by cutting the area from right
to left.

Chisel-tooth circular saw blade
The circular saw blade is only to be used together
with the metal guard, Part No. 6012841. The
blade is used for cutting bushes and trees up to
5 cm (2 inches) branch/trunk diameter. For
optimum cutting, the engine is accelerated to
full throttle prior to making contact with the
brush or tree. The cutting is done evenly without
angling the cutting blade.
Work with the left stop edge (sector A, shown
in illustration 4).
Warning:
Increased risk of accident and kick-
back exists in sector C.
Solid material should not be cut in this sector.
There are work techniques for tree
chopping which allow using sectors B
and D. These are only to be utilized
by professional operators since there
is a potential for kick-back.
Increased kick-back danger occurs:
- when using dull cutting parts
- when making contact with a foreign
object while cutter is rotating.
Kick back can cause the brushcutter to be
thrown violently to the right, which may lead
to uncontrolled twisting of the operator and
possible injury.
