Safe handling with fuels

Fuels and fuel vapours are inflammable and may cause serious injury on the skin or when inhaled. Therefore be careful and provide sufficient ventilation when handling with fuels.

• Stop the engine and allow the device to cool down before fuelling it.
• Do not smoke and avoid open flames when fuelling.
• Wear gloves when fuelling.
• Do not fuel in closed rooms.
• Avoid spilling of fuel or oil. Clean the hedge trimmer immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil. Change your clothes immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil on them.
  Make sure that no fuel can come into the soil.
• Carefully close the tank cap after fuelling and check that it does not get loose during operation.
• Check that there is no leakage on the tank cap and fuel lines. If there are leaks this device may not be started.
• Only transport and store fuels in containers approved and identified for this.
• Keep children away from fuels.
• Do not handle and store fuels close to combustible and highly inflammable materials as well as sparks and open flames.
• Go away at least three metres from the fuelling place to start the device.

Before the first start-up

The hedge trimmer is supplied without fuel.

Fuel the hedge trimmer as described under "Fuelling".

Fuelling

This device is operated by a mixture from regular petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke engine oil.

Utmost care is required when handling fuel and oil. Keep away smoke and open flames (risk of explosion).

Petrol

Petrol: Octane number at least 91 ROZ unleaded

• Do not fill in leaded petrol, diesel or other non-approved fuels.

• Do not use petrol having a smaller octane number than 91 ROZ. This may lead to severe engine damages due to increased engine temperatures.
  If you frequently operate the device at high speeds, you should use petrol with a higher octane number.

• The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for environment protection reasons.

Two-stroke engine oil:

acc. to JASO FC or ISO EGD specifications

Do not use

• four-stroke oil or two-stroke oil for water-cooled outboard engines,
• mixtures ready for use from petrol stations.

Mixing

Ratio of mixture: 50:1

Petrol	Two-stroke engine oil 2% (50:1)
1 litres	0.02 litres
2 litres	0.04 litres
5 litres	0.10 litres
10 litres	0.20 litres

• Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small deviation of it has a large effect on the ratio of mixture in particular for small fuel quantities.
• Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead to more residues of combustion, a higher fuel consumption, a decrease of output or damages to the engine.

Mix petrol and oil in a clean container approved for petrol and appropriately identified. Use a fuel container with overfill protection.

1. At first fill in half the quantity of petrol to be mixed.
2. Then fill in the total amount of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Fill in the remaining quantity of petrol.

Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to ageing. Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result in starting problems. Therefore, mix only that quantity of fuel which you can use within a month.

Only store fuels in containers approved and identified for this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.

Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach for children.

Fuelling the hedge trimmer

• Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid eye and skin contact.

• Strictly follow the instructions under "Safe handling with fuels".

• Only fuel the hedge trimmer in the open or in sufficiently ventilated rooms.

• Clean the area around the filler neck. Contamination in the tank may result in malfunction.

• Shake the container once more before pouring the fuel mixture into the tank.

• Carefully open the tank cap (10) to allow possible overpressure to relax. 2
• Carefully fill the fuel mixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck.
• Close the tank cap. Check that the tank cap is tight.
• Clean the tank cap and the area around it.
• Check the tank and the fuel lines for leaks.
• Operate the fuel pump (24) if required.

Maintenance and Care

Before each maintenance and cleaning work

• Stop the engine.
• Wait until the cutting device does not longer move.
• Stop the engine and pull off the spark plug connector (with the exception of idle speed adjustment).

Do not carry out maintenance work close to open flames. Risk of fire.

Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.

For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.

Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected damages and injuries.

Maintenance

In order to aviod possible injuries wear gloves.

To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the hedge trimmer carry out the following maintenance works regularly.

Check the hedge trimmer for obvious defects such as

• loose fastening elements
• worn or damaged components
  deformed, broken or damaged cutting device
  leaks from the fuel tank cap or fuel lines

Check the hedge trimmer after each application for

• wear and tear, in particular sliding play of the cutting device
• correct assembly and faultless covers and protective devices.

Necessary repair or maintenance operations have to be carried out before the usage of the hedge trimmer.

Adjusting the cutting device

Readjust the sliding play if cut material is clamped between the blades or the play has increased due to normal wearing of the cutting device after a longer period of use.

To obtain good cutting results the free motion between the blades and the sword must be correctly adjusted.

For this proceed as follows: 11

1. Loosen the nuts (A) on the top surface of the cutting device.
2. Slightly tighten the screws (B) on the underside (if required loosen them previously).
3. Turn the screw back anticlockwisely by a quarter up to a half turn.
4. Use a screwdriver to hold the screw and firmly tighten the nuts.

The sliding play is correctly adjusted if the washer under the screw head can just be freely moved back and forth by hand.

1. Lubricate the cutting device using environmental-compatible lubricating oil.

If the play is too small, this may cause a great extent of heating and thus damage to the device.

Lubricating the gearbox 12

Lubricate the gearbox every 10 to 20 operating hours.

1. Put the grease gun onto the zerk fitting (25).
2. Force some grease into the zerk fitting.

Use SHELL ALVANIA RL3, for example, or an equivalent grease brand.

Adjusting the idle speed 13

If the cutting device continues to run while the engine idles, you have to correct the idle speed.

1. Allow the engine to run warm for 3-5 minutes (no high speed).
2. Turn the adjusting screw (C):

clockwisely idle speed increases (+)

counterclockwisely idle speed decreases (-)

Contact the manufacturer if the cutting device still continues to run in idle mode.

Do not continue working with the hedge trimmer in such a condition.

Cleaning / replacing the air filter 14

Clean the air filter from dust and dirt on a regular basis to prevent

• starting problems,
  loss of output,
  too high fuel consumption.

Clean the air filter every 8 operating hours, or more frequently in dusty environments.

1. Put the choke (22) to to prevent dirt particles from coming into the carburettor.
2. Remove the air filter cover (20).
3. Remove the air filter (23).
4. Wash the air filter in a luke warm soapy solution.

Do not blow out dirt particles, otherwise there is a risk of eye injury.

1. Clean the air filter interior using a brush.
2. Allow the air filter to dry well and reinsert it.
3. Re-mount the air filter cover.

Replace the air filter on a regular basis.

Damaged air filters must be replaced without delay.

Cleaning/replacing the fuel filter 15

Check the fuel filter (9) if required. A contaminated fuel filter restricts the fuel supply.

Open the tank cap (10) and pull the fuel filter through the opening using a wire hook.

Slight contamination:

Pull the fuel filter from the fuel line and clean it in petroleum ether.

Bad contamination:

Replace the fuel filter.

Checking / replacing the spark plug

Do not touch the spark plug (18) or the spark plug connector (17) when the engine runs. High voltage!

Risk of burning on the hot engine. Wear protective gloves.

Check the spark plug and the spark gap on a regular basis.

For this proceed as follows: 16

1. Pull the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
2. Remove the spark plug using the supplied spark plug wrench (26).

The spark gap must be 0.6 to 0.7mm

Clean the spark plug when it is contaminated.

Replace the spark plug:

• once in a month if the device is often used
• when the insulating body is damaged,
• when the electrodes show excessive erosion,
• when the electrodes show excessive dirt or oil.

Use the following spark plug type:

NGK-BM6A

BOSCH WS8E

Champion CJ8

Checking the ignition spark

1. Pull the spark plug connector from the spark plug.

2. Remove the spark plug using the supplied spark plug socket spanner.

3. Remove the spark plug.
4. Firmly connect the spark plug connector.
5. Use an insulated pair of tongs to press the spark plug against the engine body (away from the spark plug hole).
6. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the START position.
7. Firmly pull the cranking rope on the cranking handle.

A spark between the electrodes is a sign of proper functioning.

Silencer / exhaust outlet 17

Do not retighten the silencer screws when the engine is hot.

1. Check the tight seat of the screws (D) on the silencer (7) on a regular basis.

If they are loose, tighten them hand-tight.

1. Clean the exhaust outlet (E) on a regular basis.
