							INTRODUCTION / CONFORMITY STATEMENT9EN
Dear Customer,
thank you for choosing one of our products. We hope that you will be completely satisfied with this
machine and that it fully meets your expectations. This manual has been compiled in order to provide
you with all the information you need to get acquainted with the machine and use it safely and effi-
ciently. Don’t forget that it is an integral part of the machine, so keep it handy so that it can be con-
sulted when necessary, and pass it on to a further user if you resell or loan the machine.
Your new machine has been designed and manufactured in pursuance of current regulations, and is
safe and reliable if used in compliance with the instructions provided in this manual (proper use). Using
the machine in any other way, or non-compliance with the safety specifications relative to use, main-
tenance and repair is considered improper use which will invalidate the warranty, relieve the manu-
facturer from all liabilities, and the user will consequently be liable for all and any damage or injury to
himself or others.
Since improvements are periodically made to our products, you may find slight differences between
your machine and the descriptions contained in this manual. Certain modifications can be made to the
machine without prior warning and without the obligation to update the manual, although the essen-
tial safety and function characteristics will remain unaltered. In case of any doubts, please contact your
Retailer. And now enjoy your work!
EC Conformity Statement

							SAFETY REQUIREMENTS11EN
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Become
acquainted with the controls and the proper use
of the machine. Learn how to stop the engine
quickly.
2) Only use the machine for its intended use, that
is 
“the cutting and trimming of hedges, con-
sisting in plants with small sized branches”.
Any other use may be dangerous and severly
damage the machine.
3) Never allow children or persons unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the machine. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
4) The machine must never be used by more
than one person.
5) Never use the machine : 
– when people, especially children or pets are in
the vicinity; 
– if the user is tired or unwell, or has taken med-
icine, drugs, alcohol or any substances which
may slow his reflexes and compromise his
judgement; 
– if the user is not capable of holding the
machine firmly with two hands and/or of
remaining standing on the ground whilst work-
ing.
6) Remember that the operator or user is respon-
sible for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
B) PREPARATION
1) Always wear adequate clothing when using
the machine which do not hamper movements in
any manner. 
– Always wear slim-fitting protective clothing, fit-
ted with shear-proof protection devices.
– Always wear protective gloves and eye-gog-
gles and safety anti-shear boots with non-slip
soles. 
– Always wear ear and hearing protection
devices.
– Never wear scarves, shirts, necklaces, or any
hanging or flapping accessory that could catch
in the machine or in any objects or materials in
the work area.
– Tie your hair back if it is long.
2) Before starting your work, make sure that all
the protection devices are correctly fitted.
C) OPERATION
1) Work only in daylight or good artificial light. 
2) Take on a firm and well-balanced position:– where possible avoid working on wet slippy
ground or in any case on uneven or ripid
ground which does not guarantee stability for
the operator;
– avoid using unstable ladders or platforms;
– never run, but walk carefully paying attention
to the lay of the land and any eventual obsta-
cles.
3) Check that when the machine is running at
minimum speed and ticking over, there is no
movement of the blades and, after accelerating,
the engine quickly returns to minimum speed.
4) Make sure the blades do not come into violent
contact with foreign bodies and try to prevent
any material from being hurled after trimming.
5) Stop the engine: 
– whenever you leave the machine unattended. 
– before refuelling.  
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tightly fas-
tened to be sure the equipment is in safe work-
ing condition. Routine maintenance is essential
for safety and for maintaining a high perform-
ance level.
2) Always wear protective gloves when handling
the cutting device.
3) Make sure the blades are well sharpened. All
operations on the blades require a certain level
of experience and specialised tools. For safety
reasons, take them to a specialised centre to be
sharpened.
4) For safety reasons, never use the machine
with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts are
to be replaced and never repaired. Only use orig-
inal spare parts. Parts that are not of the same
quality can seriously damage the equipment and
compromise safety. 
5) Store the machine out of the reach of children!
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled or
transported you must:
– turn off the engine, wait for the blades to stop
and diconnect the spark plug cap;
– apply the protection devices to the blades;
– only hold the machine using the handgrips and
position the blades in the opposite direction to
that used during operations.
2) When using a vehicle to transport the
machine, position it so that it can cause no dan-
ger to persons and fasten it firmly in place to
avoid it from tipping over, which may cause
damage or fuel spillage.

							USING THE MACHINE / MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION 13EN
CONNECTING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Only apply the hedge trim-
ming device to brush cutters that have a rod
and drive shaft with compatible characteris-
tics and diameter.
1. Fit the hedge
trimmer over the
brush cutter tube.
2. Clamp the fixing
screw.
3. Loosen the screw
on the adjust-
ment sector,
adjust the tilt suit-
ably and clamp
the screw again.

!DANGER!SETTING AT WORKAlso carefully read the oper-
ator’s manual for the brush cutter fitted with the
hedge trimming device.
–Cut branches up to a maximum diameter of
4.5 mm; cutting branches with a larger diame-
ter could damage the hedge trimmer.
–ONLY adjust the tilt angle with the motor
switched off. SWITCH OFF the motor before
removing any branches caught up in the
blades.
–To start the motor follow the instructions pro-
vided in the brush cutter user manual.
–Cut the hedge working outside the area in
which cut material falls.
–Never bring the blades close to body parts
while working.
–Always fit the blade guards when the device is
switched off.
IMPORTANT
Always work with the
motor switched off.
BLADE REDUCTION GEAR GUARD
–Lubricate every 20 hours through the grease
nipples provided.
–Only use lithium-based grease for high tem-
peratures and extreme pressures.
Your dealer has materials of
excellent quality, specifically designed to guaran-
tee a high level of protection to mechanical parts
and lasting efficiency to machines.
Contact your local dealer.
BLADES
–Check the cutting edge at regular intervals; do
not work with blunt blades.
–Lubricate the blades with each refill.
–Check clearance between the blades; when
this occurs, adjust them according to the pro-
cedure below:
–Loosen the nuts (ref. 6).
–Clamp the screws fully (ref. 7), then loosen
them again by 1/3 or 1/2 turn.
NOTE

!WARNING!–When clamping the screws (ref. 7) draw the
nuts close (ref. 6).
–Check that the flat washer (ref. 8) can rotate
when moved by hand.
If the blades are clamped too tightly their move-
ment is obstructed. On the other hand, if there is
excessive clearance this causes cut material to
get caught between the blades.
When it is no longer possible to adjust the clear-
ance between the blades due to wear, have them
generally reconditioned. Contact an authorized
workshop to have this operation performed.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Perform using protective
gloves
The blades must be sharp in order to obtain a
good cut; correct sharpening is attained using an
appropriate bench sharpening machine.
However, it is also possible to use a suitable file;
in this case work with the hedge trimmer fitted
on the bar, suitably fixed to a workbench.
Observe the cutting angles.
