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. 21).
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!
• Do not smoke while refueling!
• Open the cap on the tank by
loosening it slowly.
• Fill the tank outdoor, far from flames
or sparks.
• Never add fuel in the tank when the
engine is running or hot to avoid the
risk of fire (let the engine cool off
before filling the tank).
• Avoid contact of the oil and fuel with
the skin and eyes.
• Fill the tank in a well-ventilated place.
• Do not inhale the toxic fumes of the
fuel mixture.
• Store the fuel mixture in suitable fuel
containers only.
Preparation of the mixture
CAUTION! Do not use any other type
of fuel than the type recommended in
this manual. This machine is
equipped with a two-stroke engine
and should therefore be fueled with a
mixture of unleaded gasoline (with a
minimum octane rating = 90) and
fully synthetic oil specific for two-
speed engines that use unleaded
gasoline in the proportions indicated
in the table on the cover, fig. (D).
CAUTION! Fire hazard. Never use the
machine with a defective or damaged
muffler.
CAUTION! Engine exhaust fumes are
toxic. For this reason, you should
not use the machine indoors.
CAUTION! Engine exhaust fumes
can get very hot and may contain
sparks. Do not use the machine near
inflammable material.
Harness
CAUTION! It is very important to
familiarize yourself with the release
mechanism. In case of emergency
you need to be able to release the
machine quickly.
The harness is equipped with a fasten-release
mechanism. The harness enables the operator
to support the machine during use (see "Safety
precautions", B7).
D. Fuel Mixture
CAUTION! Control the specifications
of the oil shown on the package; the
use of oil lacking the specifications
expressly indicated in this manual
could cause serious damage to the
engine!
• To obtain the best mixture, pour the oil into an
approved container first, followed by the
gasoline, and shake the container well (every
time you take fuel out of it).
• Be careful not to spill the gasoline.
• The characteristics of the mixture tend to
deteriorate in time, so you should only prepare
as much mixture as you are going to need (the
use of deteriorated fuel can seriously damage
the engine).
Filling the tank
CAUTION! The following precautions
should be taken to reduce the fire
hazard:
• Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation.
• Do not smoke or take sources of heat
or sparks near the fuel.
• Refuel with the engine off.
• Open the cap on the tank carefully to
eliminate any excess pressure.
• Do not take the cap off the tank with
the engine running.
• After fueling, close the cap tightly.
