7.1. FIXING THE MACHINE AND GUIDANCE
Hold the machine with the harness,
hands on the handles and with
the right hand in such a position
that you can action the controls
(accelerator and security switch).
Attention! So as to reduce the risk of loss of control
and possible damages (that could even be fatal) to the
end user and/or those surrounding him, never use this
machine single handedly.
7.1.1. CUT WITH THE NYLON HEAD
WARNING: Wear eye and audible protection at all
times. Do not look directly to the cutting line because
can cause serious damage to the head and the eyes.
Use the head line in difficult areas.
If the header hits a rock or other object stop the
machine and check its status. Do not use damaged or
poorly balanced heads.
Make cuts from the left to the
right to prevent that the grass
fall into the cutting area. Be
careful to not hit the head
with rocks or the ground. The
beatings against objects or the
ground will reduce the life of
the head, may spoil creating a
dangerous environment for you and the people close
to you.
The nylon threads are shortened with the use, when
they are too short accelerate the engine and press the
head against the ground. Then leave wire from the
head. If you leave too much wire the blade will cut in
excess.
Remember that the end of the nylon threat is the one
that makes the cut. Get a better result if you do not
introduce the entire head in the cutting area. Enter
the head slowly and let the nylon tips cut the grass at
their own pace.
WARNING DANGER: Do not operate the brush
cutter in areas with metallic materials.
Always use the proper protective equipment. Don't use
this machine in areas where you can't see properly.
