LOTHING
Never use the appliance barefooted or wearing
sandals. Never use the appliance when wearing
loose clothing that could get caught up in it. When
working, wear long trousers, safety boots or shoes
with non-slip soles, goggles and a shield protecting
your face from flying objects, gloves (preferably
leather) and anti-noise ear muffs or helmet. In work
areas where there is a risk of falling objects, pro-
tect your head with a safety helmet.

LECTRICAL CIRCUIT
P
F . 5
IG
Before connecting the appliance to the electricity
supply, check that the mains voltage and fre-
quency are compatible with the operating voltage
and frequency of the machine (see rating plate).
Connect the machine to a socket with differential
switch (circuit breaker) using an approved outdoor
cable. Always fix the extension cable (A) to the
02_inglese.p65
cable holder located on the motor casing.
ATTENTION: To protect the electrical connection, do
not tug on the cable when using the appliance and
grip the plug and socket when disconnecting the ca-
ble.

S
COPE
Use the edge trimmer fitted with just the cord head
to cut grass – especially around obstacles – and to
trim thin weeds and wild vegetation near ground
level. The cord head is particularly suitable for fin-
ishing operations such as trimming around posts
and trees.
ATTENTION: The standard version of the brush cutter
cannot be used in other ways.
A
DJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE NYLON CORD
Always check the length of the cord in the supplied
head before use. This head features a semi-auto-
matic system for adjusting cord length. When the
cord is short, start the machine and hit the cord
head on soft ground a few times. The cord comes
out automatically. Excessive cord length is cut by
the adjustment blade mounted on the guard.
R
ECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
P
Observe the relevant safety instructions when
(
FOR
using the brushcutter.
Carry the power tool on your r.h. side.
Approach the area to be cleared with the motor
switched OFF; then start the motor before dip-
ping the cutter into the working area.
With your thumb, initially press the locking but-
ton (1) and then additionally the ON/OFF switch
(2) with your index finger. Then release the lock-
ing button again. Release the ON/OFF switch to
switch the motor OFF again.
Work at a regular pace and move from side to
side as though you were using a traditional
scythe. Do not incline the cord head while work-
ing. Try and cut a small area to the right height.
Keep the cord head at the same distance from
the ground in order to obtain a uniform cutting
height.
Immediately switch OFF the motor, if you notice
any unusual vibrations or cuttings have wrapped
themselves around the cutting tool or have
jammed near the guard. Pull the mains plug
from its socket and clear the cutting tool of
grass, brush etc.
Check the entire power tool for perfect condi-
tion.
When using the nylon head, always ensure that
you operate only with the correct length of line.
When the guard is fitted, the line will always be
trimmed to the permissible length automatically
(a line trimming blade is fitted into the guard
bar).
