• Cutting near fences/foundations (Fig. 15)
Slowly approach the cutting line head to fences,
posts, rocks, walls, etc. without hitting them hard.
If the line strikes a solid object it could break or be-
come worn; if it gets tangled in a fence it could
break abruptly.
In any case, cutting around pavements, founda-
tions, walls, etc. can cause greater wear than nor-
mal in the line.
• Cutting round trees (Fig. 16)
Walk round the tree from left to right, approaching
the trunks slowly so as not to strike the tree with the
line and keeping the cutting line head tilted for-
ward slightly.
Remember that the nylon line could lop or damage
small shrubs and that the impact of the nylon line
against the trunk of bushes or trees with soft bark
could seriously damage the plant.
• Adjusting line length when working
(Only with cutting line head) (Fig. 17)
This machine is fitted with a "Tap & Go" head.
To release more line, tap the cutting line head
against the round with the engine at top speed: the
line will be released automatically and the knife
cut off the excess length.
d) Saw blade (if permitted) (Fig. 18)
prohibited on machines marked with the spe-
cific symbol (see chap. 2 n° 6). When using the
saw blade, where permitted, the specific guard
must always be fitted. The blade must always
be well sharpened to reduce the risk of kick-
back.

8. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Correct maintenance is essential to maintain the
original efficiency and safety of the machine over
time.

estimate the direction in which the cut tree
will fall, also taking the wind direction into
consideration.
To get a good result when felling small trees, the
cut must be made with a rapid movement towards
the branch or trunk to be cut, with the engine at
maximum revs.
Do not use the right-hand area of the blade be-
cause there is a high risk of kickback or the blade
seizing up, due to the direction of rotation.
END OF OPERATIONS
When you have finished your work:
– Switch off the engine as indicated above (Chap.
6).
– Wait for the cutting device to stop and fit the
blade guard (if 3 point blades or saw blades are
used).
– Wait until the engine is sufficiently cold.
– Use protective gloves when handling the
blades.
– Keep the blade protection device on, ex-
cept when intervening directly on the blade.
– Never dispose of oils, fuel or other polluting
materials in unauthorised places.
