QUICK RELEASE
There is an easily accessible,
quick release fitted at the front
as a safety precaution in case the
engine catches fire, or in any other
situation that requires you to free
yourself from the machine and
harness. See instructions under the
heading Adjusting the harness and
brush cutter.
Check that the harness straps are
correctly positioned. Once the
harness and machine have been
adjusted, check that the harness
quick release works correctly.
MUFFLER
The muffler is designed to keep
noise levels to a minimum and to
direct exhaust fumes away from
the user.
Never use a machine that has a
faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is
securely attached to the machine.
WARNING
The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic.
Avoid contact with these elements
in the event of a damaged muffler.
WARNING
Bear in mind that: The exhaust
fumes from the engine are hot and
may contain sparks which can start
a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible
material!
LOCKING NUT
A locking nut is used to secure
some types of cutting attachment.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the
opposite direction to the direction of
rotation of the cutting attachment.
To remove it, undo the nut in the
same direction as the cutting
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The
nut has a left-hand thread.) Tighten
the nut using the socket spanner.
The nylon lining inside the locking
nut must not be so worn that you
can turn it by hand. The lining should
offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm.
The nut should be replaced after it
has been put on approx. 10 times.
CUTTING EQUIPMENT
This section describes how to
choose and maintain your cutting
equipment in order to:
- Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
- Obtain maximum cutting
performance.
- Extend the life of cutting
equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with
the guards we recommend! See the
chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the
cutting attachment to check the
correct way to load the cord and the
correct cord diameter.
Keep the teeth of the blade
correctly sharpened! Follow our
recommendations. Also refer to the
instructions on the blade packaging.
WARNING
Always stop the engine before
doing any work on the cutting
attachment. This continues to rotate
even after the throttle has been
released. Ensure that the cutting
attachment has stopped completely
and disconnect the HT lead from
the spark plug before you start to
work on it.
WARNING
Using an incorrect cutting
attachment or an incorrectly
sharpened blade increases the risk
of blade thrust.
CUTTING EQUIPMENT
Grass blades and grass cutters are
intended for cutting coarse grass.
