Advice For Operation - Mountfield BC 500 Li 48 Manual De Instrucciones

NOTE During use, the battery is
protected against total drainage with a
protective device that switches off the
machine and stops it from working.
NOTE Battery power reserve (and
therefore the cuttable vegetation area
before recharging is required) depends on
many factors described in (par. 7.2.1).
NOTE After one minute of inactivity, if turned
on, the machine will automatically switch off.
6.4.1 Work techniques
6.4.1.a Cutting line head
Use ONLY nylon lines. The use of
metal lines, plasticised metal lines and/
or lines that are not suitable for the head
can cause serious injuries and wounds.
a. Cutting in motion (Scything)
Proceed at a regular pace, with a circular motion
similar to a traditional scythe, without tilting the
cutting line head during the operation (Fig. 11).
First try cutting at the right height in a small
area, so as to then achieve a uniform cutting
height keeping the cutting line head at a
constant distance from the ground.
For heavier cutting it can be useful to tilt the
cutting line head to the left by about 30°.
Do not work in this way if there
is the possibility of causing objects
to be thrown, which could harm
people, animals or cause damage.
b. Precision cutting (Trimming)
Keep the machine slightly tilted so that the
lower part of the cutting line head does not
touch the ground and the cutting line is at the
required point, always keeping the cutting
means at a distance from the operator.
c. Cutting near fences/foundations
Move the cutting line head slowly
towards fences, posts, rocks, walls, etc.
without hitting them hard (Fig. 12).
If the line strikes a solid object it could
break or become worn; if it gets tangled
in a fence it could break suddenly.
In any case, cutting around pavements,
foundations, walls, etc. can cause
greater wear than normal to the line.
d. Cutting around trees
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 forward slightly (Fig. 13).
Remember that the nylon line could lop off 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.
6.4.1.b 4-point blade
Proceed using the machine as a traditional
scythe, with a circular movement of
about 60-90°, thus moving outside the
undergrowth, and so on (Fig. 14).
6.4.2 Adjusting the length of the
cutting line head during work
This machine is fitted with an
automatic line release head.
Head line length should be adjusted:
– when the line is consumed
and becomes shorter;
– when motor rotation seems
higher than normal;
– when cutting efficiency seems reduced.
To release new line:
• hit the cutting line head against the
ground (Fig. 15)
control lever pressed fully down;
• line is automatically released and the line
cutting knife (Fig. 8.A) cuts the excess length.

6.5 ADVICE FOR OPERATION

During use it is best to periodically remove
weeds that wrap around the machine to avoid
motor overheating (Fig. 1.A), due to grass
caught under the cutting means guard (Fig. 1.D).
Proceed as follows:
– stop the machine (par. 6.6);
– remove the battery (par. 7.2.2);
– wear work gloves;
– remove the entangled grass
with a screwdriver to allow the
motor to cool properly.
