Kickback

Machines equipped with blades may produce a violent kickback on contact with solid bodies. The blade is capable of amputating arms and legs. The force of the kickback can cause the operator to lose control of the machine.

Kickback can also occur when cutting with any type of blade in the hazardous zone (see N1); we therefore recommend cutting using the remaining zone.

￿CAUTION! Always use a sharp blade. A blade with worn teeth can create problems in cutting and cause the blade to kickback.

￿CAUTION! Do not sharpen a damaged or worn blade. Replace it with a new one.

￿CAUTION! We recommend the use of original accessories and replacements, which can be purchased from authorized distributors. The use of other accessories and replacements increases the danger of accidents and in this case the manufacturer has no liability for damages to persons and/or property.

C. Description of the safety devices on the machine,

controls to be made and maintenance of the safety devices

￿CAUTION! Do not use the machine for any reason with its safety devices out of order.

This section describes the safety devices on the machine, and provides instructions for control and maintenance to keep them in perfect working order. The section “General Description” will help you to identify the parts described in this section. The risk of accidents increases considerably if maintenance is not performed regularly or is not done professionally. In case of any doubts contact an authorized service center.

Safety lever

￿CAUTION! Never use the machine with its Safety lever pressed with adhesive tape, string or other.

•This device serves to prevent accidentally pressing the throttle trigger (fig. A no. 3). In fact, the trigger (fig. A no. 3), can only be pressed if the safety lever is pressed at the same time (fig. A no. 19).

•By means of 2 separate springs, upon releasing the grip, the throttle trigger (fig. A no. 3) and safety lever (fig. A no. 19) return automatically to their original positions.

Engine stop device

•Turn the stop button Stop (fig. A no. 7) to O / STOP to stop the engine.

•To make sure this button works properly, start the engine and check that it stops when the Stop button (fig. A no. 7) is turned to the Stop position.

Protection for transport

￿CAUTION! Before applying the guard switch off the engine and wait for the cutting device to stop. Use the blade guard whenever you have to transport and store the machine.

The guard covers the sharp extremities of the blade when the machine is in the resting position for transport or storage (fig. A no. 23).

￿CAUTION! Never use the machine for any reason without the specific safety devices listed below! Though they do not entirely eliminate all risks, they greatly reduce the danger.

Safety guard

￿CAUTION! Never use the machine for any reason without the recommended safety guard for the cutting device in use. The use of an inadequate or defective guard can cause serious injuries. Periodically, check its conditions and replace if necessary.

•This very important safety device (fig. A no.18) prevents any objects that come into contact with the cutting device, or the grass itself, from flying up and striking the operator. It should be checked regularly; check the assembly and make sure the fastening screws are tight (see “Assembly of safety guard”).

•If you strike any hard objects that cause structural damage to the guard on the cutting device, take the machine to an authorized service center for replacement of the guard.

Safety pole guard

￿CAUTION! Never use a brush cutter without its safety pole guard correctly in place.

This device, fastened to the machine, ensures a minimum distance between the operator and the cutting device during use, and prevents the machine from striking and injuring the operator if the blade hits a hard surface (fig. A no. 20).

Muffler

•The muffler serves to reduce the noise level to a minimum and to route the exhaust fumes produced by the combustion engine away from the operator.

•Follow these procedures for safe use of the brush cutter.

￿CAUTION! The muffler can get very hot during use and should be allowed to cool for some time after switching off the engine. Therefore, take special precautions when, for any reason, you have to touch the area around the muffler.

￿CAUTION! Fire hazard. Never use the machine with a defective or damaged muffler.
