7. USING THE MACHINE
To respect people and the environment:
– T ry not to cause any disturbance.
– S crupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of waste ma-
terials after sawing.
– S crupulously 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
regard 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 wor­
sened by low ambient temperatures and/or by
gripping the handgrips excessively tightly. If the
symptoms occur, the length of time the machine
is used must be reduced and a doctor consulted.
WARNING!

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 or 4-point blades;
– t he double belt model must be used for machines
weighing more than 7.5 kg.

The belt (1) must go over the left shoulder towards
the right hip.
• D ouble belt models
The belt (2) must be worn with:
– t he machine's support and snap-hook coupling on
the right side (2.1);
– t he release in front (2.2);
– t he belts cross-over on the operator's back (2.3);
– t he 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, kee­
ping the power unit on the right of the body and
the cutting group below the line of the belt.
WARNING!
tely if the blade stops during sawing. Always
beware 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
advisable to gain the necessary familiarity with the
machine and the most suitable cutting techniques,
finding out how to wear the webbing correctly, firmly
gripping the machine and making the movements
required by the job.
• Choosing the cutting device
Choose the most suitable cutting device for the job
to be done, according to these general indications:
– the 3-point blade is suitable for cutting brush-
wood and small shrubs up to 2 cm in diameter;
– t he 4-point bladeis is suitable for cutting resistant
grass over large surfaces;
– t he cutting line head can eliminate tall grass and
non-woody vegetation near fences, walls, founda-
tions, pavements, around trees, etc. or to com-
pletely clean a particular area of the garden;
