I bought this machine in mid-November 2014.
I read lots of criticism during my research brush cutter "first prize" (Do not start, unbalanced, too heavy, noisy).
To be honest, I was worried about my choice and that I would receive.
So, I inspected the machine carefully.
I expected to put me a slap for having looked well, well not!
I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality.
I set the position of the harness attachment along the shaft to properly balance the weight.
Ten strokes and she started the first pitcher shot.
She works as much that would cost five times more.
And that was the uncoupling: Happiness for carry!
For fans, some tips:
- The collars of the fastener harness and handlebar along the shaft are tight on rubbers which are "glued" to the barrel.
To set (for it is imperative to adjust the balance of the machine and the handlebar position according to the user) must be removed completely and coat soap scope of rubber.
- Once the collar of the handlebar disassembled, make sure it does not remain an asperity which could damage the handlebars. You may need to spend a half round file in the radius of the two parts of the molded metal collar.
And even filed down the room always mark the handlebar. So, I have pasted a piece of thick plastic blister packaging before my handlebar is cut in half.
- The picture on the box shows the handlebars attached to the center, big mistake, I let myself get my handlebars and is "marked" in the center (as I had not yet buffed the bracket).
The handlebar remote attaches to the left, it makes sense.
- Accelerator release Trigger clamp the palm of the right hand, it's very unpleasant. A piece of electrical tape to this place fixed the problem.
- Last, the mixing bottle: I prepared a spout to avoid wasting fuel when filling the tank.
In conclusion, I find the quality / great price.
Four months after my purchase, I recommend the purchase of this machine.
