  If the engine of your Vari Brush Cutter won't start, possible causes include an empty petrol tank (add petrol), a closed petrol supply line (open it), a battery that is not sufficiently charged (charge the battery), a disconnected starter panel cable connector (connect the connectors), or a defective switch or cable harness (replace them). If none of these resolves the issue, visit a service facility.

  If the work tool on your Vari Brush Cutter isn't rotating, make sure the disk drive clutch lever is pressed. Also, check the belt tension and adjust the tension pulley if it's insufficient. If the belt is torn or has come off, replace or re-mount it, respectively. If these steps don't solve the issue, it may be another defect, and you should visit a service facility.

  If the brake on your Vari Brush Cutter isn't working, adjust the brake if there is no axial clearance in the bowden cable or if the cable is stretched. Do not lubricate the key mount if the brake key is not loose. Lubricate the tension pulley if it does not return back to its position. Lubricate or replace the bowden cable if it is stiff or bent. Replace the travel pulley spring if it is broken. If the brake lining is worn and the brake cannot be adjusted, visit a service facility.
