Before beginning to cut, inspect the area where the brushcutter will be used and remove all hazardous objects,
such as wire, stones, branches, etc.

Instructions for waste disposal
Improper disposal of oil, gasoline and toxic parts endangers the environment. Such items should be stored in
proper containers and dropped off at authorized collection centers. Recyclable waste items should be recycled.
!
Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire whenever performing any
maintenance.
Maintenance of the air filter
Dirty air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburettor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked monthly and cleaned if necessary. If the
air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more frequently.
1. Remove the air filter cover, [Fig. 30 and 31, Pag. 10].
