2.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE

AND TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct
storage to maintain machine safety
and high performance levels.
Never use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts
must always be replaced and never repaired.
Only use original spare parts: the use of
non-original and/or incorrectly fitted parts
will compromise the safety of the machine,
may cause accidents or personal injuries
for which the Manufacturer is under no
circumstance liable or responsible.
Maintenance
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between the
cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.
Storage
• Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where the fuel vapours could reach
an open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.

2.5 PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of benefit to
the community and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
• Comply with local regulations for
the disposal of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service,
do not dispose of it in the environment,
but take it to a waste disposal facility in
accordance with the local regulations in force.

3. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
AND PLANNED USE
This machine is a garden tool, namely a
portable brush cutter/grass edge trimmer
with combustion engine for home use.
The machine is essentially composed of an
engine which, employing a transmission shaft
enclosed in a tube and an angle transmission,
drives a cutting means that is configured in
various ways for carrying out different functions
The operator is able to sustain the machine
with the aid of a harness and can operate
the main controls, always keeping a safe
distance from the cutting means.

3.1.1 Intended use

This machine was designed
and manufactured for:
• cutting grass and non-woody vegetation with
a nylon line enclosed in a cutting line head;
• cutting tall grass, dry branches, twigs and
woody shrubs of up to 2 cm diameter,
with the aid of metal or plastic blades;
• cutting wood parts and felling of small trees
(only with a saw blade, if permitted);
• used by one operator.

3.1.2 Improper use

Any other usage not in keeping with the above-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or damage things. Examples of
improper use may include, but are not limited to:
• using the machine for sweeping;
• trimming hedges or other jobs in which the
cutting means is not used at ground level;
• pruning trees;
• using the machine with the cutting means
above the operator's belt level;
• using the machine for cutting
non-plant material;
• using cutting means other than those
found in the "Technical Data" table.
Serious injury and wound hazard;
• use of the machine by more than one person.
IMPORTANT Improper use of the machine
will invalidate the warranty, relieve the
Manufacturer from all liability, and the user
will consequently be liable for all and any
damage or injury to himself or others.
