If the line strikes a solid object it could
break or become worn; if it gets tangled
in a fence it could break suddenly.
In any case, cutting around pavements,
foundations, walls, etc. can cause
greater wear than normal to the line.
d. Cutting around trees
– walk round the tree from left to right,
approaching the trunks slowly so as not to
strike the tree with the line and keeping the
cutting line head tilted forward slightly.
Remember that the nylon line could lop off or
damage small shrubs and that the impact of the
nylon line against the trunk of bushes or trees
with soft bark could seriously damage the plant.
6.4.2 Adjusting the length of the
cutting line head during work
This machine is fitted with an
automatic line release head.
Head line length should be adjusted:
– when the line is consumed
and becomes shorter;
– when engine rotation seems
higher than normal;
– when cutting efficiency seems reduced.
To release new line:
– tap the cutting line head against
the ground (Fig. 10) with the throttle
control lever pressed fully down;
– the line is automatically released and the
line cutting knife cuts the excess length.

6.5 OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

During use it is advisable to periodically remove
weeds that wrap around the machine to avoid
the motor overheating (Fig. 1.A), as well as
under the cutting means guard (Fig. 1.D).
Proceed as follows:
– stop the machine (par. 6.6);
– remove the battery (par. 7.2.2);
– wear protective gloves;
– remove the caught-up grass
with a screwdriver to allow the
engine to be properly cooled.
6.6 STOP
To stop the machine:
1. release the throttle control lever (Fig. 6.A);.
2. Wait until the cutting means stops.
When you have stopped the
machine, it will take a few seconds
for the cutting means to stop.
IMPORTANT Always stop the machine
when moving between work areas.

6.7 AFTER USE
