 USING THE BRUSH CUTTER
CHOOSING THE CUTTING DEVICE

Choose the most suitable cutting device for the job to be done, according to these general
indications:
• The cutting line head can eliminate tall grass and non-woody vegetation
• The 3-point blade is suitable for cutting brushwood and small shrubs up to 2 cm in diameter.

CUTTING LINE HEAD

• Cut the grass in 1.5 metre widths, keeping the machine well balanced.
• Avoid engaging stones, piles of earth, small pieces of wood or anything that could be hidden or difficult
to see in the grass. If a large object is accidentally struck, if the cutting head gets blocked, overloaded
or stringy material gets wrapped in the cutting head: reduce the engine speed so the engine idles.
Make sure that the cutting head has stopped rotating switch off the engine and remove the material.
• Put the grass trimmer on the ground and check that the cutting head has not been damaged. If
necessary, change the cutting head. If the head is only wrapped by vegetation, remove by hand and
clean the cutting head.
• Always wear safety gloves for this operation and ensure the engine is switched off and the head is
stationary.
• When the 2 nylon cords become too short, accelerate the engine and bump the nylon head on the
ground. Automatically the 2 nylon cords will feed out and be cut to the correct length. Repeat the
operation if necessary.

3-POINT BLADE

• Start cutting above the undergrowth and then move down with the blade so as to cut the brush into
small pieces.
• Avoid hitting stones, piles of earth, small pieces of wood or anything that could be hidden or difficult to
see in the grass.

 SAFETY AND OPERATION

• This brush cutter is equipped with a very sharp blade, and when used incorrectly the blades can be
extremely dangerous.
• Improper handling can cause accidents which may in turn lead to serious injury or death. For this
reason, you should always be careful to adhere to the following instructions when using your brush
cutter
• Never hold the brush cutter in a way in which the cutting head is pointing towards someone else.
• Never allow the blades to come into contact with your body.
• Always turn off the engine before adjusting the brush cutter, or at any time when coming into close
proximity with the cutting head.
• Always wear thick work gloves when adjusting the brush cutter.

SAFE HANDLING OF FUEL

• The engine of the brush cutter is designed to run on a two stroke oil/fuel mixture.
• This fuel is highly flammable, never store cans of fuel or refill the fuel tank in any
place where there is a source of heat or fire, which might ignite the fuel.
• Do not smoke whilst operating the brush cutter or refilling, keep lit cigarettes away
from the brush cutter at all times.
• When refilling the fuel tank always stop the engine first and carefully make sure that
there are no sparks or naked flames anywhere nearby before refuelling.
• If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe any fuel which has been spilled onto
the brush cutter before starting the engine.
• After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and carry the brush cutter to a spot 5
metres or more away from where it was refuelled before starting the engine.

BEFORE OPERATING THE BRUSH CUTTER

• Before beginning work, carefully check the work area and remove any obstacles. within a perimeter of
15 metres of the work area should be considered a hazardous area into which no-one should enter
while the brush cutter is being used, and when necessary this area should be marked with a warning
rope, warning signs, or other forms of warning.
• When work is to be performed simultaneously by two or more operators, care should also be taken to
constantly look around to check the presence and locations of other operators within the work area to
maintain a safe distance between each operator.
• Before beginning work, each component of the brush cutter should be checked to make sure that it is in
proper working order, make sure that there are no loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks, ruptures, dents,
broken guards or any other problems which might interfere with safe operation.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting head when the engine is running.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

• Carefully check the work area to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15metres
around the brush cutter before starting the engine.
• To start the engine, place the brush cutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place
to ensure that neither the cutting head nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacles when the
engine starts.
• After starting the engine, make sure that the cutting head stops moving when the throttle trigger is
released (idle). If the cutting head continues to move when the engine is at idle, adjust the idle screw on
the carburettor to a point where the cutting head stops moving, if this cannot be achieved, take the
brush cutter to your authorised service dealer for adjustment.

 AVOID NOISE PROBLEMS

• Check and follow the local regulations for sound levels and hours of operation for garden machinery.
• In general, operate brush cutters between 8 am and 5 pm on week days and 9 am to 5 pm at weekends.
• Avoid using the brush cutter late at night and/or early in the morning.

SAFETY WHEN USING THE BRUSH CUTTER

• When using the brush cutter, grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart so
your weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always maintain a steady even posture while
working.
• Maintain full engine speed when cutting.
• Never allow other persons to come within the work area as doing so might expose them to danger.
• Keep work area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets. Injury may
result from flying debris.
• If grass or other objects get caught in the brush cutter during operation, always stop the
engine before removing the object.
• Never touch the spark plug or plug HT cable while the engine is in operation, doing so
may result in an electrical shock.
• Never touch the exhaust, spark plug, or any metallic parts while the engine is in
operation or immediately after shutting down the engine. these parts reach high
temperatures during operation and doing so could result in serious burns.
• When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue work in another area, stop
the engine.
• Always remove fuel from the fuel tank before transportation to prevent fuel spillage.
• Never leave the brush cutter exposed to direct sunlight as this can heat the fuel tank and
may cause a discharge of fuel, and flood the engine.
• Be careful not to hit the nylon cutting head against stones or the ground.

TWO-STROKE FUEL

• Fuel is very flammable. Do not smoke or bring any flame or sparks near fuel.
• Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before refuelling.
• Refuel outdoors on bare ground, restart engine at least 5m away from the refuelling stop.
• The engine is lubricated by oil mixed into petrol. Prepare a mixture of unleaded petrol and
semi-synthetic two-stroke oil that meets the specifications of: API TC, ISO-L-EGC, JASO FC
(Low Smoke) oil.

Recommended mixing ratio is 40:1

• FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW PETROL) will cause severe damage to the engine which is not
covered by manufacturer's warranty.
• Use fresh, unleaded petrol (95 RON) and semi-synthetic oil specially made for high performance
two-stroke engines. Mix in a ratio of 40 parts petrol to 1 part of oil.
• By using two-stroke oil specially made for two-stroke engines you will reduce the formation of ash and
carbon deposits on the spark plug, piston, exhaust muffler and cylinder as well as reducing emissions of
harmful exhaust gases.
• Oil FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINES should not be used as two-stroke lubrication oil as it can cause fouling of
the spark plug, exhaust port blocking, piston ring sticking and other internal engine damage.

 FUEL STORAGE

• Mixed two-stroke fuel which has been left unused for a period of one month or more may damage
the carburettor and result in the engine failing to start or operate correctly.
• When storing the brush cutter for a period of more than one month, empty the fuel tank, and
run the engine to empty the carburettor of fuel.
• Two-stroke fuel can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic components during prolonged
storage.
• It is important to only use good quality, fresh fuel mix.

FUELLING

• Shake the fuel container to thoroughly mix the two-stroke oil and petrol.
• Clean dirt from around the fuel cap before removing.
• Pour two-stroke fuel into the fuel tank with a filtered funnel, up to 80% of the fuel tanks capacity.
• Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely. Spilled fuel must be wiped away from the brush cutter before
starting the engine.
• Move at least 5m away from the refuelling area before restarting the engine.

• When refilling the tank, always turn off the engine and allow it to cool down. Take a
careful look around to make sure that there are no sparks or naked flames anywhere
nearby before refuelling.

OPERATION
