SAFETY MEASURES
4. Replace the exhaust silencers if they are
faulty.
5. Each time the brush cutter is used, a general
check must be carried out on the condition of
the equipment, cutting unit, guards and fasten-
ing elements before switching it on, to ensure
that the parts are not worn, damaged or loose.
Always check that the throttle lever and "STOP"
button work correctly.
Check that the lever that blocks the throttle
(safety lever) works correctly; the throttle should
only work when the safety lever on the upper
side of the handgrip is pressed simultaneously.
6. Check that the handles and the harness
attachment are in the correct position and that
the machine is well balanced.
7. Ensure that the "minimum revs" speed is set
correctly so that the machine stops running
when the throttle is released.
C) USE
1. Do not start the motor indoors or in poorly
ventilated areas where toxic carbon monoxide
fumes can accumulate.
2. Work in daylight only.
3. Wherever possible, do not use the machine
on wet ground.
4. While working, remain at a safe distance
away from the cutting tool. This distance
depends on the harness connection point.
5. Always walk. Never run or stand in an unsta-
ble position. Be careful of obstacles such as
stones, tree stumps etc. which the operator
could trip over.
6. Do not use the machine on slopes that could
put the operator at risk. Mind your step when
working on a slope and always work in a stable
position. Always use the cutter on the flat. Never
use it while walking up or down a slope.
7. It is the user's responsibility to assess the
potential risks of the work area and to take all the
necessary precautions to ensure his/her safety.
This is especially important when working on
slopes, unstable, slippery or moving ground.
8. Never adjust the motor timing so that it
exceeds its standard running speed.
9. Before starting the motor, ensure that anyone
in the vicinity is at a safe distance away (at least
15 metres) from the machine, that the cutting
tool is not touching the ground and that the
machine is stable.
10. When the tool rotates, it may throw up
objects from the ground. Keep a safe distance of
at least 15 metres between the machine and
people or animals.
Do not use the trimmer near vehicles or anything
else that might be damaged by flying objects.
11. Start up the motor carefully in accordance
with the user's instructions, keeping well away
from the cutting tool.
12. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark
plug wire in the following cases:
– Before carrying out any work on the cutting
system.
– Before cleaning, checking, adjusting or repair-
ing the edge trimmer.
Only adjustments to the carburettor and the min-
imum setting are made with the engine running.
During these operations, work with the drive
shaft fitted. Also ensure that the equipment does
not come into contact with any object and that
the edge trimmer is in a stable position.
– After hitting a foreign object, inspect the cut-
ting system and the drive shaft to check that
there is no damage. Make any repairs neces-
sary before using the edge trimmer again.
– If the edge trimmer starts to shake in an irreg-
ular manner, look for the cause of the vibra-
tions and find a solution.
13. Stop the engine in the following cases:
– Each time the edge trimmer has to be left
unsupervised.
– Before filling with fuel.
– During movement from one work area to
another.
14. Do not use the edge trimmer continuously,
for lengthy times.
Pause now and again, switching off the engine.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Ensure that all screws and bolts are tightly
fastened so that the machine can be used in
safety. Regular maintenance is essential for safe-
ty and a consistently high performance.
2. Do not use the machine if any parts are dam-
aged or worn. These parts must be replaced, not
repaired. Use original spare parts.
The cutting tools must always bear the manu-
facturer's mark as well as the maximum working
