reel of string, press both the release pawls indi-
cated by the arrows, remove the empty reel,
unroll any string left and rewind the new string.
Open the original package of string and insert the
ends of the two strings in the eyelets on the reel,
then wind the strings completely on the reel in the
same direction and fasten the end of each string
in the 2 opposite grooves. Replace the reel in its
housing and thread the ends of the strings in their
bushings. Pull each string so that about 15 cm
comes out on each side. Reassemble the nylon
string head as shown. If the reel becomes exces-
CAUTION! Before using the machine read
the following chapters carefully: "Safety
Precautions" and "Description of safety devices".
CAUTION! Always wear the recommended
personal protection gear.
CAUTION! Before using the machine, make
sure all the parts are properly assembled.
CAUTION! In mounting the cutting utensils
follow the instructions in the chapter enti-
tled "Usable cutting tools and their installation on
the machine". ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THE
BRUSH CUTTER IF THE SPECIFIC SAFETY
GUARD FOR THE CUTTING DEVICE IN USE IS
NOT SECURELY FASTENED (see chapter
"Assembly of safety guards"). Failure to follow this
rule can expose you to serious danger such as:
a) possible contact with rotating and cutting parts
b) possible contact with flying debris.
CAUTION! Do not use worn or damaged
cutting devices.
CAUTION! Try to limit contact and impact
of the cutting devices against the ground
and other objects as much as possible. Hold the
cutting device away from your body.
CAUTION! Twigs or grass may jam
between the safety guard and the blade or
nylon string head. Never try to remove this mate-
rial with the engine running and the blade rotat-
ing. Always stop the engine before performing
any operations of cleaning, and wait for the cut-
ting device to stop in order to prevent injury.
CAUTION! During use and for a few min-
utes after switching off the machine, the
gearbox and zone near the shaft on which the
cutting device is fastened are very hot. Contact
can cause burns. Do not touch these parts if they
are still hot.
CAUTION! The muffler and its guard are
very hot during use and after the engine has
been switched off, even with the engine running at
sively worn, replace it with a whole new reel.
Replacement of entire string reel
If the reel becomes excessively worn, replace it
with a whole new reel.
Replacement of the complete nylon string head
If upon visual inspection (and in any case after a
violent bump) the casing on the nylon string head
appears damaged, it should be replaced. For this
operation see "Usable cutting tools and their
installation on the machine".

minimum speed. Contact can cause burns. Do
not touch these parts if they are still hot.
The machine is ideal to complete the work of the
lawnmover. In fact, it can reach places where a
normal lawnmower is unable to go. During the
cutting operations, keep the engine running at
high speed. After every cutting stage, decelerate
the engine to minimum speed as running it at top
speed without a load can damage the engine
severely. Never raise the brush cutter above knee
level during cutting. Wait until the engine is run-
ning at minimum speed before moving the
machine from one section to another. Stop the
engine when you change workplace. Before you
start cutting again, make sure your position is
correct and stable. Cutting and trimming grass
borders with the nylon string head
mended by the manufacturer. For example, you
should never use metal wire because it could
cause serious injuries to people, property and ani-
mals. An unsuitable string could break and turn
into a very dangerous missile.
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.
Drawing out the string
As you cut, the nylon string wears down naturally.
When this happens, to draw out more string bump
the head against the ground (see paragraph enti-
tled "Tap and go system for nylon string head").
CAUTION! For nylon string heads, use only
strings made of flexible material recom-
