presumed power increment; the engine can be
damaged.

and wait a few seconds to let the engine cool off.
Turn off the engine, pushing the STOP button (16).
7. USING THE MACHINE
PROHIBITED USE
WARNING: Avoid kickout which can
result in serious injury. Kickout is the
sideward or sudden forward motion of the
machine occurring when the blade contacts
any object such as a log or stone. Contacting
a foreign object can also result in loss of
brush cutter control.
WARNING! - Always follow the safety
precautions. The brush cutter must only be
used to trim grass material. Do not cut metal,
plastics, masonry. Do not use the brush cutter
as a lever to lift, move or break objects, nor
lock it on fixed supports. It is forbidden to apply
tools or applications that are not the ones
indicated by the manufacturer onto the brush
cutter's power take-off.
WARNING: When using rigid blades,
avoid cutting close to fences, sides of
buildings, tree trunks, stones or other such
objects that could cause the brush cutter to
kick out or could cause damage to the blade.
We recommends use of the nylon line heads
for such jobs. In addition, be alert to an
increased possibility of ricochets in such
situations.
WARNING: Never use of a brush cutter
with the cutting attachment perpendicular to
the ground. Never use the brushcutter for
trimming hedges.
WARNING: If the blade loosens after
being properly tightened, stop work

immediately. The retaining nut may be worn
or damaged and should be replaced. Never
use unauthorized parts to secure the blade. If
the blade continues to loosen, see your
dealer. Never use the brushcutter for
trimming hedges.
Work Area Precautions
• Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off balance.
• Make sure you can move and stand safely.
Check the area around you for possible
obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.)
in case you have to move suddenly.
• Do not cut above chest height, as a brush
cutter held higher is difficult to control against
kickout forces.
• Do not work near electrical wires. Leave this
operation for professionals.
• Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
• Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely
dangerous.
• Stop the brush cutter if the blade strikes a
foreign object. Inspect the blade and brush
cutter; repair parts as necessary.
• Keep the blade out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a blade
and increase the possibility of kickout.
• Stop the engine before setting the brush
cutter down.
• Be particularly cautious and alert while
wearing hearing protection because such
equipment may restrict your ability to hear
sounds indicating danger (calls, signals,
warnings, etc).
• Be extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING: Never use rigid blades when
cutting in stony areas. Thrown objects or
damaged blades may result in serious or fatal
injury to the operator or bystanders. Watch
out for thrown objects. Always wear approved
eye protection. Never lean over the cutting
attachment guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can
be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness
