Cutting and trimming grass borders with the nylon string head
Cutting with the nylon string head is suitable for light jobs like trimming borders and cutting the grass around trees.
Mowing
To prevent damage to your lawn or the cutting mechanism, keep the string parallel to the ground but avoid contact with the terrain.
Trimming borders
Angle the nylon string head keeping it a short dis- tance from the ground. Cut using the end of the string. Do not press the string against the material to be cut.
I1. 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 hap- pens, 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.
I2. 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.
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.

Design
In the design stage, care was taken to develop an engine with reduced consumption and low emis- sions of noise and pollutant exhaust fumes.
Use of machine
The operations of filling the tank with the fuel mix-
ture should be carried out in such a way as to avoid spilling fuel and contaminating the soil and environment.
Periods of prolonged disuse
Always empty the fuel tank with the same precau- tions used in filling it.
Disposal
Do not dispose inappropriately of the machine when it is no longer usable. Deliver it to an authorized organization for proper disposal in compliance with the regulations in force.
