Hold the brush cutter in the way
that the head do not touch the
ground and with an inclination of
20º in the sense you are cutting.
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.
7.1.2. CUT WITH THE DISC
Check the disc holder and make sure it is tight and
there are no signs of damage or abrasion.

in accordance with the instructions and that the disc
spins freely without producing abnormal sounds.
CUTTING METHOD:

inclined to the left.
