7. USING THE MACHINE
To respect people and the environment:
– Try not to cause any disturbance.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of waste ma-
terials after sawing.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of oils, petrol,
damaged parts or any elements which have a
strong impact on the environment.
WARNING!
brations can cause injuries and neurovascular
disorders (also called "Renaud's syndrome" or
"white hand"), especially to people suffering
from circulation disorders. The symptoms can re-
gard the hands, wrists and fingers and are shown
through loss of sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain
and discolouring of or structural changes to the
skin. These effects can be worsened by low am-
bient temperatures and/or by gripping the hand-
grips excessively tightly. If the symptoms oc-
cur, the length of time the machine is used must
be reduced and a doctor consulted.
DANGER!

possibility of interference on any active or pas-
sive medical devices that operators may be wear-

tions. All those using medical devices should
always consult their GP, or the device manufac-
turer, before using this machine.

USING THE WEBBING (Fig. 10)
WARNING!
be used connected to the webbing worn cor-
rectly. Frequently check the efficiency of the
quick release mechanism used to quickly free
the machine from the belts in case of danger.
The webbing must be put on before connecting the
machine to the special coupling and the belts must be
adjusted to suit the operator's height and stature.

If the machine has more than one coupling hole, use
the most favourable point for keeping the machine
balanced when working.
Always use webbing suited to the weight of the ma-
chine and the cutting device used
– the single or double belt models can be used for
machines weighing less than 7.5 kg fitted with
the cutting line head or 3-point blades;
– the double belt model must be used for machines
weighing more than 7.5 kg.
• Single belt "MONO" models
The belt (1) must go over the left shoulder towards the
right hip.
• Double belt models
The belt (2) must be worn with:
– the machine's support and snap-hook coupling on
the right side (2.1);
– the release in front (2.2);
– the belts cross-over on the operator's back (2.3);
– the buckle properly fastened on the left side (2.4).
The belts must be tensioned so that the load is evenly
distributed on the shoulders.
USING THE MACHINE
WARNING!
must always be firmly held in both hands, keep-
ing the power unit on the right of the body and
the cutting group below the line of the belt.
WARNING!
ately if the blade stops during sawing. Always be-
ware of a kickback, which could occur if a blade
encounters a solid object (logs, roots, branches,
stones, etc.). Do not touch the ground with the
blade. Kickbacks cause blade recoils that are
difficult to control, so as to cause loss of control
of the machine, compromise operator safety and
cause damage to the machine itself.
Before tackling a mowing job for the first time it is ad-
visable to gain the necessary familiarity with the ma-
chine and the most suitable cutting techniques, find-
ing out how to wear the webbing correctly, firmly
gripping the machine and making the movements re-
quired by the job.
