The manufacturer delivers the machine shrink-wrapped. The protective foil protects the machine against weather effects but in no case against mechanical damage, fall etc. The protective foil is recyclable; dispose it according to valid local regulations. While putting the machine aside (e.g. at reloading), we recommend to place it under a shelter to protect the foil against direct sunshine.
For crane handling, use a crane (tackle) with its minimum carrying capacity of 200 kg.

guards are fixed, bolted down and solid, only the guard over the exhaust manifold is perforated. At standstill the cutting head is covered with a pipe framing protecting the cutting head and its blades against hitting. Under the grip there is the "dead-man lever" installed which has to be pushed down while working.
Attendant's Place Attendant's Place Attendant's Place Attendant's Place While working, the attendant should stand behind the grip (see fig.), holding it with both hands and with both feet standing on a flat and firm base. All working motions should be continuous and uniform. It is strictly forbidden to stand aside or to hold the grip with one hand only Right attendant's position behind the grip...

Check up the cutting blades for wear and completeness. If one of them s damaged, change both opposite blades immediately. If different abrasion occurs, change both opposite blades on account of balance of the cutting head – unwanted vibrations may damage the machine. Fill the given fuel into the tank, min.
Pull the starting cord. For the first start it is necessary to pull the cord several times to suck the fuel into the engine carburettor. Pull the starting cord quite rapidly. Having started, raise the speed gradually by means of the speed regulator and close the choke.

If using a ramp for loading or unloading then it must be steady enough with no slippery surface. Such a ramp could be with a max. gradient of 20%. In case of this ramp gradient it should be preferable if other two persons will assist to you with such handling.
Transport the machine to another site with the engine off by pushing or towing. Keep all work safety instructions to avoid any risks of injury. When going to another working site always ascend and descend slopes very carefully and with the cutting head up the hill. Be careful when going down the hill.

while turning the machine off, avoid any contact of the cutting head when resting on the ground or on any hard objects (stones, iron etc.) – use always its supporting leg. Having turned the centrifugal clutch off, the cutting head is freely turning out.
One of the blades is always a straight tool (11) and the other one is a bent tool (12). The straight tools (11) in adjacent pairs are always fixed on the opposite sides of the cutting head (8). The cutting head (8) is powered by the driving unit (4) by means of the V-belts (15).

Keep the given intervals for checks of bolted joints. After every working shift check up tightening of bolted joints, particularly rotating parts and completeness of other parts, such as fixation of blades and subgroups on framing. Any servicing is allowed to be done at standstill only. Provide your machine shops with suitable extinguishers and first-aid kits to be accessible anytime at fire risk.

While tightening the belts proceed as follows: Check up tension of new belts after first 5 service hours and afterwards always in intervals of 50 hours. Excessive slipping will wear the belts and the pulleys out prematurely. Excessive tension reduces belt life essentially. It brings also negative impact on optimal alignment of pulleys.
