Unscrew the nut and remove the brake ring and the support ring, as described above and shown in figure 7. Keep them in a safe place until needed to secure the cutter blade. Screw the spool into place, turning in an anti-clockwise direction (figs. 9 and 10). Turn the nylon spool anti-clockwise Installing the deflector guard Position the deflector guard onto its support and screw in the four fixing screws, not forgetting the two metal reinforcements as shown in figure 6.
Remove and put in a safe place the securing nut, the brake ring and the support ring. NOTE: Securing nut b, Fig. 7, has a left-handed thread. It is therefore loosened and removed in a clockwise direction and replaced and tightened in an anti-clockwise direction. Assemble the components shown in figure 8 in the following order: 1) First, place the blade (e) onto the central core 2) Next, place the support ring (d) onto the blade (e) 3) Next, place the brake ring (c) onto the support ring.
• Always fill up with fuel while outdoors and never in an enclosed space, nor close to a flame or source of intense heat. Do not smoke while filling up with fuel. • Do not unscrew the fuel cap when the motor is on or hot. • Slowly pour the fuel into the tank with the help of a filling nozzle or funnel. • Avoid spilling petrol and make sure that you do not overfill the tank, to avoid spillage. Leave a few millimetres of space under the rim to allow the fuel to expand. Put the fuel cap back on correctly.
• Press on the priming pump until the fuel becomes visible (2 to 3 times). • Put the Start/Stop switch into the Start position (fig. 5). • Put the choke in the start position towards the top. • Pull quickly and firmly on the starter recoil starter, then follow it back down to its initial position. • If the engine does not start after the first pull, repeat until it does. • After the engine has been running for 15 to 30 seconds, put the choker back in its initial position towards the bottom (run).
3.23 Adjusting the cutting wire during use Hold the cutting head in rotation parallel to the ground, lightly tap the cutting head on the ground and the spool will release a length of line automatically. If this is too long, a blade affixed to the deflector will cut the wires to their optimal length. Do not tap the cutting head too many times to avoid using up too much line. 3.
3.25 Changing the nylon line • Before adjusting the petrol brush cutter, stop the engine and wait for the tool to stop completely. • Find two clips on the spool box which hold the lid down. Press with your thumb and index finger on both clips and free the spool access lid (fig. 7 and 8). • Remove the spool (fig. 9). • Repeat the operations in reverse to fix a full spool, without forgetting to feed the two wires into their metallic passage. Make sure the lid is properly closed. 3.
3.32 Storing and transporting the petrol brush cutter • Be sure that the tool is stored safely and that it is stored out of reach of children • Store the machine in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. Covering the tool with a tarpaulin is not recommended as this could cause an damp to accumulate on the tool. • For long-term storage, empty the petrol in the tank in a container and let the engine cut out as it runs out of petrol the last time you use it. 3.
