1 . Read this section carefullyand thoroughly before use
2Check the blade before use (Fig 34)
If you notice any damage to it, replace it with a new blade.
IMPORTANT:
The blade must only be resharpened by an authorized facility. Manual resharpening will result in an unbalanc-
| ed blade, which will cause vibrations and damage to | Cracks |
| the equipment. (Fig. 35) |
|
CAUTION: |
| |
| Always wear gloves when handling the cutter blade. |
|
3. Wear appropriate clothing and protectors |
| |
4. Always stop the engine before inspecting the blade or |
| |
| replacing it. |
|
5. | Do not allow anyone in the area while operating the |
|
| machine. The blade might send stones or debris |
|
| flying, possibly harming bystanders. |
|
6 . Never use the blade with its speed higher than 10.000RPM.
7 . Increase the cutter head speed to approx. 6.000RPM. Low speed (under 4,000RPM) causes inefficient cutting.
Installation
See page 7 . (Mounting the blade)
Kickback (Fig. 36)
When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickback may occur. The brush cutter may be deflected with great force, creat- ing risk of injuries. This is particularly the case when attempting to cut within a blade segment between 12 and 2 o'clock.
Never apply the brush cutter within a segment between 12 and
2o'clock.
Never apply- tthe brush cutter to solids, such as bushes, trees, etc., having a diameter in excess of 3 cm
(1 118 in.).
