Drawing out the string

During cutting, the nylon string wears naturally causing an increase in the speed of the engine and a reduced cutting capacity. When this happens, to bring out more string bump the head against the ground: release the throttle trigger to reduce the engine speed to less than 8000 rpm. Tap gently on the ground with the button (A) as shown in the figure and the string will come out automatically. Accelerate again. If the string does not come out make sure there is still some left and try again.

Thinning grass with the grass cutter blade

￿2 16

The grass is cut with swinging motions from side to side, maintaining the blade parallel to the ground. During the right to left swing the grass is cut, while the backswing must be made without using the blade.

I2. KICKBACK can occur when cutting is done with the risk sector of the blade; we recommend cutting with the rest of the blade. Take care that the cup supporting the blade just grazes the ground. This will prevent the blade from touching the ground.

Use of sawtooth blade

￿2 5 1116

￿Do not attempt to cut trees with a larger than recommended diameter, to prevent the risk of kickback or damage to the blade.

The sawtooth blade serves to cut bushes and small trees, with maximum diameter of seven centimeters. Rest the left side of the special shield on the trunk while cutting to limit the risk of losing control of the machine.
