[. . . ] It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before mounting and operating this machine. Fixez le protège-lame au support de fixation (30) en insérant quatre vis (254 ­ 610 x 19 mm) dans les trous du support, puis en les faisant passer à travers les trous du protège-lame (5) et des plaques de montage filetées (32). Important: Some of the following symbols may be used on your tool. Please study them and learn their meaning. [. . . ] Attach the grass deflector (14) to the blade guard by placing the three locking tabs (33) into the three notches (31). Snap the blade guard and grass deflector together to lock into place. WARNING Always stop the engine and remove the sparking plug wire before making any adjustments such as changing cutting heads; this is to reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Place the holding pin through the slot in the upper flange washer and the gear head. Remove the upper flange washer from the gear shaft and retain for the string head installation. Attach the grass deflector to the blade guard by placing the three locking tabs into the three notches. Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height. always operate trimmer at full throttle. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the string head, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the silencer. Hold the brushcutter with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation. Brushcutter should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height. Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the kick-back reaction of the cutting blade. Adjust the shoulder strap to position the brushcutter at a comfortable operating position and to assure that the shoulder strap will reduce the risk of operator contact with the blade. Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with this unit. Blade thrust is the reaction which may occur when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and suddenly "thrust" the unit away from the object that was hit. [. . . ] With the trigger fully depressed, pull the starter cord 3 times. If the engine does not start, set the choke lever to A and follow normal starting instructions. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the procedure with a new spark plug. Starter cord pulls harder now than when new. [. . . ]
