    							ground that does not guarantee stability for the
    operator;
    –never run, but walk carefully paying attention to
    the lay of the land and any eventual obstacles;
    –assess the potential risks of the ground to be
    mown and take all necessary precautions to
    ensure your own safety, especially on slopes or
    on bumpy, slippery or unstable ground;
    –work along the contour on slopes, never when
    walking up or down and always keep downhill
    of the cutter.  
    4) Make sure the machine is securely locked
    when you start the engine:  
    –start the motor in an area at least 3 metres from
    where you refuelled;
    –check that there is nobody within at least 15
    metres of the machine’s range of action or at
    least 30 metres for heavier mowing;
    –do not direct the silencer and therefore the
    exhaust fumes towards inflammable materials.
    5)
    Do not change the engine governor settingsor overspeed the engine.
    6) Do not strain the machine too much and do not
    use a small machine for heavy-duty works. If you
    use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of
    hazards and improve the quality of your work. 
    7) Check that when the machine is running idle,
    there is no movement of the cutting device and,
    after pressing the throttle trigger, the engine
    quickly returns to minimum speed.
    8) Ensure that the blade does not come into vio-
    lent contact with foreign bodies and beware of the
    possibility of material being thrown up by the
    blades.
    9) Always keep the machine connected to the
    webbing when working.
    10)
    Stop the engine:–whenever you leave the machine unattended.  
    –before refuelling.
    –during movements between work areas. 
    11)
    Stop the engine and disconnect the spark
    plug cable:
    –before cleaning, checking or working on the
    machine;
    –after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
    machine for any damage and make repairs
    before restarting it again; 
    –If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally: find
    and remove the cause of the vibration immedi-
    ately;
    –when the machine is not in use.  
    D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
    1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
    the equipment is in safe working condition.
    Routine maintenance is essential for safety
    and for maintaining a high performance level.
    2) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
    in an area where the fuel vapours could reach an
    open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
    3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
    enclosure.4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine,
    exhaust silencer and fuel storage area free from
    sawdust, branches, leaves, or excessive grease;
    never leave containers with the cut debris inside
    the storage area.
    5) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should
    be done outdoors once the engine has cooled
    down.
    6) Always wear protective gloves when handling
    the cutting device.
    7)
    For safety reasons, never use the machine
    with worn or damaged parts. Damaged parts
    are to be replaced and never repaired. Only
    use original spare parts. 
    Parts that are not of the
    same quality can seriously damage the equipment
    and compromise safety. The cutting tools must
    always bear the manufacturer’s trademark as well
    as a reference to the maximum working speed.
    8) Before putting the machine away, check you
    have removed wrenches or tools used for mainte-
    nance. 
    9) 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 cutting device to
    stop and disconnect the spark plug cap;
    –fit the cutting device guard;
    –only hold the machine using the handgrips and
    position the cutting device in the opposite
    direction to that used during operation.
    2) When using a vehicle to transport the machine,
    position it so that it can cause no danger to per-
    sons and fasten it firmly in place to avoid it from
    tipping over, which may cause damage or fuel
    spillage.

    1. COMPLETING THE MACHINE
    1a. “MONO” models (Fig. 1)
    The purpose of the spacer
    (1) is to ensure a minimum distance between
    the rear handgrip and the front one, for safe-
    ty reasons. This spacer must always be fitted
    and must not be modified in any way
    .
    – In front of the spacer (1), fit the front handgrip
    (2) onto the drive tube (3) using the screws (4)
    and nuts (5) inserted in their proper seatings.
    – Before tightening the screws (4), align the
    handgrip correctly with respect to the drive
    tube.
    – Fully tighten the screws (4).
    1b. “DUPLEX” models (Fig. 2)
    –Put the handlebar (1) into the seating in the
    support (2), located on the drive tube (3), mak-
    ing sure that the controls are on the right.
    –Fit the cap (4), fully tightening the screws (5).
    –The support (2) is already preassembled on
    the drive tube (3) so that the edge matches up
    with the arrow (6) on the label; this position
    must never be changed.
    2. MOUNTING THE ROD (Models with sepa-
    rate rod – Fig. 3)
    – Line up the slot (1) on the joint (2) with the
    raised notch (3) on the lower part of the rod (4).

    IMPORTANT–  Pull out the stop pin (5) and push the lower part
    of the rod (4) right down until the stop pin (5)
    slots into the hole (6) in the rod. This is easier
    to do if you rotate the bottom of the rod (4)
    slightly in both directions. The pin (5) is in place
    when it is completely lodged in the hole.
    – Lastly, tighten the knob (7) securely.
    3. FITTING THE GUARDS
    Each cutting device is pro-
    vided with a specific guard. Never use guards
    other than those indicated for each cutting

    							8PREPARING TO WORKEN
    CHECKING THE MACHINE
    Before starting work please:
    –check that all the screws on the machine and
    the cutting device are tightly fastened;
    –check that the cutting device is undamaged
    and that the 3 or 4-point metal blades (if fitted)
    are properly sharpened;
    –check that the air filter is clean;
    –check that the protection devices are well fas-
    tened and working efficiently;
    –check the handgrips are well fastened.
    PREPARING THE FUEL
    This machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine
    which requires a mixture of petrol and lubricating
    oil.
    Using petrol alone will dam-
    age the motor and will cause for invalidation of
    the warranty.
    Only use quality fuels and
    oils to maintain high performance and guarantee
    the duration of the mechanical parts over time.
    •Petrol characteristics
    Only use unleaded petrol with a fuel grade of at
    least 90 N.O.
    Unleaded petrol tends to
    create deposits in the container if preserved for
    more than 2 months. Always use fresh petrol!
    •Oil characteristics
    Only use top quality synthetic oil specifically for
    two-stroke engines.
    Your dealer can provide you with oils which have
    been specifically developed for this type of
    engine, and which are capable of guaranteeing a
    high level of protection.
    The use of these oils makes it possible to pre-
    pare a 2% mixture, consisting in 1 part oil to 50
    parts petrol.
    In the event that no specific oil is available, it is
    IMPORTANT
    IMPORTANT
    IMPORTANT
    possible to use a mineral lubricating oil for
    engines (class FA or FB), where in this case the
    mixture must be 4%, i.e. 1 part oil and 25 parts
    petrol.
    •Preparation and preservation of the fuel
    mixture
    Petrol and the fuel mixture are highly inflam-
    mable!
    –Keep the petrol and fuel mixture in homolo-
    gated fuel containers, in safe place, away
    from any flames or heat sources.
    –Never leave the containers within the reach
    of children.
    –Never smoke whilst preparing the mixture
    and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
    The chart indicates the amount of petrol and oil
    to use to prepare the fuel mixture according to
    the type of oil used.
    To prepare the fuel mixture:
    –Place about half the amount of petrol in a
    homologated tank.
    –Add all the oil, according to the chart.
    –Add the rest of the petrol.
    –Close the top and shake well.
    The fuel mixture tends to
    age. Do not prepare excessive amounts of the
    fuel mixture to avoid deposits from forming.
    Keep the petrol and fuel mix-
    ture containers separate and easily identifiable to
    avoid the mistake of using one in place of the
    other.

    REFUELLING
    Never smoke whilst refu-
    elling and avoid inhaling the petrol fumes.
    Carefully open the tank top
    as pressure could have formed inside.
    Before refuelling:
    –Shake the fuel mixture container well.
    !WARNING!
    !DANGER!
    IMPORTANT–Place the machine on a flat stable surface,
    with the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
    –Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding
    area to avoid any dirt from entering the tank
    during refilling.
    –Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow the
    pressure inside to decrease gradually. Use a
    funnel to refill and avoid filling the tank to the
    brim.
    Always close the fuel tank
    cap firmly.
    Immediately clean all
    traces of fuel which may have dripped on the
    machine or the ground and do not start the
    engine until the petrol fumes have dissipated.
    !WARING!
    !WARNING! PREPARING TO WORK / HOW TO START - USE – STOP THE ENGINE

    when it was switched off or after refuelling.
    To start the engine (Fig. 8):
    1. Set the switch (1) to «START».
    2.Operate the starter, turning lever (5) to
    «CLOSE».
    3. Press the primer device button (6) 3 or 4
    times to prime the carburettor.
    4. Hold the machine firmly on the ground with
    one hand on the power unit, in order not to
    lose control of the machine during startup
    (Fig. 9).
    To prevent distortions, the
    drive tube must not be used as a support for the
    hand or knee during startup.  
    5. Pull the starter rope slowly for 10 - 15 cm until
    you feel some resistance, then tug it hard a
    few times until you hear the engine turn over.
