Assembly of nylon string head and blade
Apply the proper guard depending on whether
you plan to use the grass blade or nylon string
head (see chapter: "Application of protective
devices on cutter").
• F1. Apply the nylon string head as shown in the
illustration: a) Upper plate with blade centering
b) Nylon string head. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
• F2. As you tighten, hold the nylon string head
and plate still and insert the wrench or
screwdriver supplied in the holes in the plate
and gearbox; first turn the plate until the two
holes match.
(only for models equipped with guard and strap)
• F3. Apply the blade as shown in the illustration:
a) Upper plate with blade centering b) Blade
with wording and direction arrow facing upward
c) Lower plate d) Fixed cup e) Blade fastening
nut f) Safety split pin.
• F4. Make sure the hole in the blade is perfectly
coupled with the centering collar on the upper
Bent front grip
(Only for models equipped with guard
and strap)
CAUTION! The grip acts as a guard
when the special extension is
mounted (D). Screw the side safety
guard securely into the threaded
housing on the bent grip as shown in
the figure, whenever you use the
cutting blade.
The bent grip (A) can be adjusted according to
the needs of the operator by folding it forward or
backward. Press the grip adjustment knob (B),
place the grip in one of the positions marked with
the notches (C) in a convenient working position
and release the knob (B).

plate. Tighten by turning clockwise. As you
tighten, hold the blade-plate assembly still by
inserting the wrench or screwdriver supplied in
the holes provided.
F5. "Tap and go" nylon string head
The nylon string head is used to cut grass and
weeds along borders or in zones with obstacles
like walls, fences or trees. It can operate in a very
narrow or uneven zone. The nylon string cuts the
grass neatly without damaging the bark of the
trees or causing violent impact such as due to
the contact of a rigid blade with a hard surface.
Supply of the nylon string
CAUTION! The string cutting device
fastened on the shield cuts the nylon
cord to the proper length; a string
that is too long reduces the rotation
speed of the engine and interferes
with cutting efficiency, as well as
increasing the risk of injury.
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 4000 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.
G. Grip
CAUTION! Fold the grip parallel to the
machine — in the position of the last
notch (C) — to facilitate transport
and storage of the machine.
