STARTING THE ENGINE

1) Position the hedge trimmer in a safe starting

position.

2) Rest the motor on the ground and arrange

the equipment so that the chain does not touch

Cutter manual (fig. 24).

IMPORTANT - HAZARD !! The

engine starts and remains half

accelerated and so the chain is

moving. Leave the motor to run for a few

seconds for heating.

Operate the trigger once to run the motor at

minimum and then stop the cutting chain.

IMPORTANT - HAZARD !! If the chain

does not stop at minimum motor

speed, contact an after-sales center

(refer to Brushcutter manual).

able to move away in the opposite direction.

3) Make sure the escape route is free of

obstacles.

4) When choosing the drop direction, take the

following varying factors into account.

a) – Overgrown branches.

b) – Branch angle.

Danger of burns

9.1 CHAIN

MAINTENANCE AND SHARPENING

- With a correctly sharpened chain, work is less

tiring, cutting performance is good and there is

no abnormal wear of mechanical parts and bar.

- Before sharpening, the chain must be

tensioned by means of the chain tightener

(fig.17) see “CHAIN CHANGING” chapter.

- After sharpening, loosen the chain as per fit-

ting instructions.

- Use a round file (specific for chains) with

diameter 5/32" (4 mm) fig. 22 part. 1.

Keep to the sharpening angles as in (fig.22

part.2-3).

- Sharpen by filing from inside outwards (fig.22

part.5) all the teeth on one side and then those

on the opposite side.

- Position the file so it protrudes by about 1 mm

(fig.22 part.4) above the level of the cutting

edges.

9.2 CHAIN

CHANGING AND TENSIONING

CAUTION! DO NOT START THE

PRUNER EQUIPMENT UNTIL THE

BAR AND CHAIN HAVE BEEN FIT-

CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

1) Position the body of the equipment as shown

in fig. 15.

2) Loosen the nut (fig.15 part.1) and remove the

cover.

3) Turn the chain tightening screw (fig. 17 part 1)

anticlockwise (loosen) and move back the chain

tightening tooth (fig.20 part.1).

4) Remove the chain guide bar from the stud

bolt screw (fig.18 part.1).

5) Remove the chain from the pinion (fig.19).

6) Fit the new or sharpened chain around the

bar (fig. 21). The teeth of the upper section must

be positioned as shown in the detail.

7) Position the chain guide bar on the stud bolt

screw (fig. 19).

CAUTION !! Correctly couple the chain teeth

with the relevant pinion teeth (fig.19).

8) Slightly tighten (clockwise) the chain tighte-

ning screw for an initial light tension (fig.19).

9) Fit the chain cover back on and manually

tighten the nut.

10) Complete chain tensioning by screwing

up (clockwise) the chain tension screw (fig.17).

When the proper tension has been reached, the

hain can be raised with two fin

ers to the poin

where an entire guide tooth is visible (Fig.26).
