WARNING
– Petrol is highly inflammable and in cer-
tain conditions explosive.
– Refill the tank in a well ventilated area
with the motor switched off. Do not
smoke, do not light flames or make
sparks in the environment either where
the motor is being refilled or in the fuel sto-
rage area.
– Do not overfill the tank (there should not
be any fuel in the neck of the tank). After
refilling the tank, ensure that the lid is
on correctly and safely.
– Take care not to spill any fuel while filling
the tank. Spilt fuel and its vapours may
catch light. If any fuel has been spilt, make
sure the area is dry before the motor is
started up.
– Avoid prolonged skin contact with the
fuel and breathing the vapours.
– Keep the fuel out of the reach of chil-
dren.
START UP
Before starting up the machine, ensure that no-one
and nothing are within the start up radius around
the machine, as they may be in danger.
WARNING To prevent the throttle starting acci-
dentally, the throttle lever is fitted with a safety
switch: the throttle lever will only work when the
safety lever on the opposite side to the grip is pres-
sed down. Before starting the machine, always
ensure that that safety lever works.
Start up the machine on a flat and stable surface.
– Set the red switch on the front of the throttle
lever to "START", i.e. the opposite of
"STOP" (Fig. 12 A, B, C).
– Set starter 'a' in Fig. 13 to "CLOSE", i.e.
towards the opposite side of the motor.
– Press the plastic dome "CHOKE" located on
the lower part of the carburettor several
times for an injection of fresh petrol (Fig. 14).
– If the machine has a decompressor (D in
Fig.14), press it so that the motor starts up
more easily. At the first bursts, the decom-
pressor closes and returns the button to its
original position. Press it back down if the
motor has to be started up again.
– Place one hand on the motor and push
downwards, with the other gently pull the
start up handle until there is some resi-
stance.

– Then pull vigorously until the motor starts
(Fig. 15).
– When the motor gives its first bursts, or
starts up, set starter 'a' in Fig. 13 to the
position opposite to "CLOSE".
Always pull the start up handle rapidly.
A slow pull may not cause a spark and conse-
quently not start up the machine.
If the motor does not start or does not reach stan-
dard running speed, read the Troubleshooting
chapter at the end of the manual.
PRECAUTION
Do not pull the start up handle to the full extent of
the cord.
Do not let go of the start up handle suddenly.
Release it slowly so as not to damage the start up
unit.
Do not place your foot or knee on the drive pipe to
keep the machine still: the pipe may bend, thus
making the machine unusable.
WARNING When the machine starts up, the
cutting tool will start turning immediately. Bring
the machine to minimum by pressing and then
freeing the throttle lever.
Check that the cutting tool stops turning when
the machine is at minimum.
STARTING WHEN HOT
The start up procedure for when the machine is hot
is the same as when it is cold, except that there is
no need to have the starter in the "CLOSE" posi-
tion.

STOPPING THE MOTOR

Bring the motor to its minimum rpm. Move the red
STOP switch located on the top part of the throttle
lever to the STOP position.

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETTOR

The carburettor on all the machines is set by the
manufacturer.
The machines are set individually.
Check that the air filter is clean and fitted correctly.
The adjusting screw marked "MIN" (Fig. 13) is set
in such a way that the tool does not turn when the
motor is at minimum. If this does not happen, turn
the screw anticlockwise until the tool stops turning
