USING THE BRUSHCUTTER
Which setting to use with each
cutting head ?
The safety guard is two coloured the
main part red and the small blade
holder is black.
1. When using the nylon head:
The safety guard must be used with
both parts in position; (main part
red + the small black blade holder).
2. When using the 3 tooth blade.
Remove the small black blade
holder (with a screwdriver) and use
only the main red safety guard.
Only use the cutting tools
supplied by the manufacturer.
All other blades, particularly
SAW BLADES, are
FORBIDDEN.
This brushcutter is only made to cut
grass, bush and light shrub.
* Ensure the machine is perfectly
balanced between the engine and the
cutting head. The cutting head must be
parallel to the ground and should not
require to be held in position.
* Ensure everything in the assembly is
in good working order by operating the
throttle gently for a few times without
reaching maximum engine revolutions.
* Make sure the cutting head is
completely stationary before moving to
the working area. Always carry the
machine with the cutting head below

The correct operating stance must have
both feet placed firmly on the ground
and the body well balanced.
Grass cutting
Cut the grass in 1.5 metre widths,
keeping the machine well balanced and
each step firm. When using the 3 tooth
blade for grass or shrub, always cut
from right to left to leave the debris on
the left for collection at a later time.
Try to 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 or if the cutting
head gets blocked or overloaded or
stringy material gets wrapped in the
cutting head: reduce the engine speed
to the idle speed to disengage the
clutch. Make sure that the cutting head
has stopped rotating switch off the
engine.
Put the brushcutter on the ground and
check that the cutting tool has not been
damaged e.g. broken teeth on the blade
or a cracked component. 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 only with the engine
switch off and the head 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.
