10 HOW TO START - USE - STOP THE ENGINE / USING THE MACHINE
To respect people and the environment:
– Try not to cause any disturbance.
– Scrupulously comply with local regulations
and provisions for the disposal of waste ma-
terials after sawing.
– Scrupulously 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.
Prolonged exposure to vi-
brations can cause injuries and neurovascular
disorders (also called “Renaud’s syndrome”
or “white hand”), especially to people suffer-
ing 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
worsened 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 doc-
tor consulted.
Always wear suitable clo-
thing when using the machine. Your dealer
can provide you with all the information on
the most suitable accident-prevention devices
to guarantee your safety.
USING THE WEBBING
The machine must always
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 ma-
chine balanced when working.
Always use webbing suited to the weight of the ma-
chine and the cutting device used.
• DUPLEX models (Fig. 11)
The belt (2) must be worn with:
– the machine's support and snap-hook coupling on
the right side (2.1);
7. USING THE MACHINE
• Hot starting
When hot starting (immediately after stopping the
engine), follow the procedure indicated above in
points 1 - 4 - 5 - 6.
USE OF THE ENGINE (Fig. 8)
Cutting device speed is regulated by the throttle
trigger (2), located on the rear handgrip (4) or the
right handgrip (4a) of the handlebar.
The throttle trigger only works if the lockout (3) is
pressed at the same time.
The movement is transmitted from the engine to the
drive shaft by a centrifugal mass clutch that pre-
vents the shaft from moving when the engine is run-
ning at minimum speed.
Do not use the machine if
the cutting device moves when the engine is
running idle; in this case, contact you dealer.
The correct running speed will be achieved by
pressing the throttle trigger (2) as far as possible.
Avoid using the engine at full
power for the first 6-8 working hours.
STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 8)
To stop the engine:
– Release the throttle trigger (2) and allow the en-
gine to run idle for a few seconds.
– Set the switch (1) or (1a) to «0-STOP».
When you have reduced
speed to a minimum, it will take a few sec-
onds for the cutting device to stop.
