While tightening, the blade assembly can be
held fast by inserting the wrench or the screw-
driver supplied into the cap and gearcase holes.
To do this, rotate the cap intil the two holes
coincide.
4) Assemble nylon string head as illustrated:
a) Flange guard - b) Upper cap - c) Guard d)
Nylon string head
Tighten counterclockwise.
5) While tightening, the head assembly can be
held fast by inserting the wrench or the screw-
driver supplied into the holes as already shown
for blade assembly.
WARNING: Do not use the guard for the nylon
string head (18) when using a metal blade.
DOUBLE HANDLE
Adjust and secure double hand clamp by tighten-
ing the screws.
To adjust the idle speed, however, proceed as fol-
lows:
With engine running and warm, slowly turn screw
‘T’ clockwise until the engine runs smoothly with
a consistent noise level but without making the
cutting head rotate.
If the cutting attachment does move or the engine
runs too fast, slowly turn screw ‘T’ in an anticlock-
wise direction until the correct speed is obtained.
Precise numerical engine speed settings are men-
tioned in the technical detail chart in the front of
the owner’s manual.
WARNING: First read sections: SAFETY RULES,
SAFETY USAGE and SYMBOLS.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1) Position the on/off switch to the I (ON)
position, away from the «STOP» position.

tion.
Squeeze the primer bulb (C) several times until
you see fuel begin to return back through tube
(D) to the fuel tank. Pull the starter handle until
