Mix ratio 50:1, Use ONLY fuel mix Use ONLY fuel mix Cutting circle Start-up Sequence Fuel pump (Primer) General Safety Information Do not allow access by children or by peo- ple who are ill or inrm. Children must be carefully supervised when they are in the area of machinery. Observe the regional and local accident prevention regulations applicable where you are. The same ap- plies for all regulations concerning occupa- tional safety and health in the workplace. The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the machines produced by the same are modied without permission and if dam- age to people or property occurs as a result of such modications. Warning! Always take basic precautions when using ma- chinery. Please also observe all tips and information in the additional safety infor- mation.

1. Observe the surrounding conditions un-

der which you are working. The motor- ised equipment produces toxic fumes as soon as the engine is running. These gases may be odourless and invisible. Therefore, never work with the equip- ment in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Ensure adequate ventilation when working. Ensure a safe stance in the wet, snow and ice, on slopes and on uneven territory.

2. Do not allow strangers to use the

equipment. Visitors and onlookers – particularly children and people who are ill or inrm – must be kept away from the workplace. Prevent other peo- ple from coming into contact with the tools. Do not pass on the equipment to people who are unfamiliar with the equipment and its handling.

3. Ensure the safe transport and storage

of the equipment. Always carry the equipment suspended by the carrying strap or on the tube. Equipment that is not in use must be stored in a dry place as high up as possible or locked away to be inaccessible.

4. Always use the right tool for any work.

E.g. do not use small tools or acces- sories for work that should actually be performed with heavy tools. Use tools only for the purposes for which they have been constructed.

5. Ensure appropriate clothing. Clothing

must be appropriate and not impede you when working. Wear clothing with cut protection pads.1 0 G B I E N I

6. Use personal protective equipment.

Wear safety boots with steel caps / steel soles and non-slip soles. Wear a hard hat if there is a risk of falling ob- jects when working.

7. Wear safety goggles. Objects may be

thrown out. Serious eye injuries may result.

8. Wear ear protection. Wear personal

sound protection, e.g. earplugs.

9. Hand protection. Wear strong gloves –

leather gloves offer good protection.

10. Operating the equipment. Never work

without the protection on the cutting tool. Risk of injury from objects being thrown out.

11. Remove the socket wrench etc. All keys

or similar must be removed before the equipment is switched on.

12. Stay alert at all times. Pay attention to

what you are doing. Use your com- mon sense. Do not use motorised tools when you are tired. Work with the equipment must not be carried out un- der the inuence of alcohol, drugs or medications, which impair reactions.

13. Filling with fuel.

• Always adhere to the current re regula- tions and the respective state/federal regulations for re prevention.

• Fuel and fuel fumes are highly ammable. Do not ll with fuel when the engine is running or still hot. When lling up, ensure good ventilation. Smoking and open ames are prohibited.

• Always switch off the engine before lling. Always open the ller cap with care, so any excess pressure present can be relieved slowly and no fuel sprays out. The work with the equipment causes high temperatures on the housing. The equipment must therefore be allowed to cool before lling. Otherwise, the fuel could ignite and cause serious injuries.

• When lling with fuel, ensure that the tank is not overlled. If liquid misses, this must be cleared away immediately and the equipment cleaned.

• After lling, ensure that the seal screw is sitting properly in order to prevent it from coming loose as a result of the vibrations caused during the work.

• Watch out for leaks. Do not start the engine if fuel is leaking. Risk of death as a result of burns!

14. Usage duration and breaks. Prolonged

use of the motorised equipment can cause circulation disorders in the hands as a result of the vibration. However, the usage duration can be extended with suitable gloves or regu- lar breaks. Be aware that personal ten- dency to poor circulation, low external temperatures and high gripping forces will reduce the usage duration when working.

15. Be aware of damaged parts. Before

initial operation and after severe im- pacts, check the equipment for signs of damage and wear. Are individual parts damaged? In case of slight dam- age ask seriously whether the tool will nonetheless work properly and safely. Ensure correct alignment and adjust- ment of moving parts. Do the parts interlock correctly? Are parts dam- aged? Is everything correctly installed? Are all the other requirements in place for proper functioning? Damaged safety devices etc must be repaired or replaced by authorised people if there is no explanation otherwise in the op- erating instructions. Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised body. If repairs are required, please contact a customer service centre au- thorised by us.1 1 N I I E G B

16. Always switch off the engine before un-

dertaking adjustments or maintenance work. This particularly applies for work on the thread reel.

17. Use only authorised parts. In case of

maintenance and repair, use only iden- tical spare parts. Contact the Grizzly service centre for spare parts. Warning! The use of other mowing heads as well as accessories and at- tachments that are not explicitly recom- mended can result in danger to people and objects. The tool is to be used only for the in- tended purpose. Any misappropriation is regarded as improper use. The user alone – and denitely not the manufac- turer – is responsible for property and personal damage resulting from such improper use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable if machines from the same are modi- ed or used improperly and damage occurs as a result. Caution! A certain residual risk, which cannot be eliminated, al- ways remains even in the case of proper use of the tool. The follow- ing potential hazards can be de- rived from the type and design of the tool:

• Contact with the unprotected thread reel (cuts).

• Reaching into the thread reel when it is running (cuts).

• Hearing damage if no appropriate protection is worn.

• Dust and gas formation that is harmful to health if the equipment is used in enclosed spaces (nausea). Additional Safety Regulations

sure that there are neither people nor animals within a radius of at least 15 m. Switch off the equipment immedi- ately if anyone and particularly a child comes into the range of the machine. When using the equipment, stones and other elements that can cause serious injuries can be thrown out.

10. When the equipment is in operation,

keep away from the moving parts (in the area of the cutting devices). After switching off, the cutting head continues to turn for a few seconds.

11. Before using the equipment, remove

stones, twigs and any other solid mate- rial from the working area.1 2 G B I E N I Start the machine only as described in the instructions. It must not be turned upside down or be in the working posi- tion when it is started. Do not cross gravel roads or paths with the equipment running.

12. The greatest care is required when

extending the cutting thread. Risk of injury from cuts. After executing these processes, reassume the correct work- ing position before switching on the equipment.

13. Do not use metallic cutting reels or

saw blades. Note that the equipment remains in operation for a few seconds after the switch is released.

14. Switch off the engine when:

- Refuelling the equipment, - Not using it, - Leaving it unattended, - Cleaning it, - Transporting it from one location to another, - Removing or replacing the cutting device and manually adjusting the length of the cutting thread.

15. Length of use and breaks.

Prolonged use of the power device can lead to problems with the blood circulation in the hands caused by vibrations. You can however extend your machine use time by wearing ap- propriate gloves or by taking regular breaks. Please ensure that if you are susceptible to poor circulation, low out- side temperatures or strong gripping forces while working, this may reduce the length of time for which you are able to work.

16. Carry the scythe by the multi-function

handle and the anti-vibration handle when it is switched off, with the spool away from your body in order to avoid injuries. After the device has been switched off, the engine head of the scythe is hot. Make sure that you do not come into contact with the engine head.

17. You should carry out regular checks to

determine whether the cutting equip- ment is stationary when the device is idling. Assembly Installing the protective cover Never use the device without the protective cover correctly installed! Risk of injury.

(11) with the four screws (32). Initial Operation Warning! Before initial opera- tion of the equipment, it must be checked that the condition is safe for operation. If there is any doubt, do not start the equipment. Observe the following points in par- ticular:

• Check the cutting tools for damage and wear.

• Correct installation of the cutting head

• Easy movement of all switches

• Secure sit of the spark plug connector. If the connector is loose, sparks can be formed and thus ignite any leaking fuel- air mix.

• Ensure the handles are clean in order to be able to guide the equipment safely.

• All safety and protective devices must be properly installed and in place before the equipment can be started.1 4 G B I E N I The equipment is tted with a two-stroke en- gine and therefore op- erated exclusively with a mix of petrol and two-stroke engine oil in the ratio 50:1. Table of fuel mixtures: Petrol Two-stroke oil 1,00 litres 20 ml 3,00 litres 60 ml 5,00 litres 100 ml Mixing 50 parts of petrol + 1 part of oil

• Use quality unleaded petrol with an octane rating of at least 90.

• Optimum performance will be achieved with the use of the two-stroke engine oil supplied, designed specically for the equipment. If this is not available, use su- per oil for air-cooled two-stroke engines.

1. Prepare the petrol/oil mixture in

a clean canister intended for use with petrol (25).

2. First ll in half of the petrol, then

all of the oil, then shake the can- ister. Fill in the rest of the petrol and shake the canister again.

3. Remove the ller cap (34) and

ll the fuel mixture into the petrol tank (7). Wipe spilled fuel from around the ller opening and replace the ller cap. Putting on the shoulder strap Always wear a shoulder strap when working with the equip- ment. Always switch off the equipment before loosening the shoulder strap. Risk of ac- cidents. The carrying strap is equipped with a quick-release device. Pulling the red lug ( K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C D E F G H I J

If the engine has not started after two attempts, try a warm start without the choke in the warm start position. If this is not successful, follow the instructions in the „Troubleshooting“ section. During a warm start, the scythe jumps to the idle position only after the throttle lever has been actuated for the rst time. Operation Working Notes

• When cutting, observe the country- specic / local regulations.

• Do not cut during commonly applica- ble quiet periods.

• Solid objects such as stones, metal pieces or similar must be removed. These can be thrown out and therefore result in personal or property damage.

• When cutting in high bushes or hedges, the working height should be at least 15 cm. This prevents the risk to animals, e.g. hedgehogs.

• Always hold the equipment rmly and securely with both hands.

• Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware of roots or tree stumps – risk of tripping.1 6 G B I E N I

• Work considerately and endanger no- body when cutting. Work quietly and carefully.

• Work only in adequate visibility and lighting conditions.

• Keep an eye on the cutting head.

• Never cut above shoulder height.

• Never replace the plastic cord with a steel wire – risk of injury and damage.

• Do not work on a ladder.

• Work only on rm and stable bases.

• Avoid an abnormal body posture. Ensure that your footing is secure and keep your balance at all times.

• Change your working position at regu- lar intervals in order to prevent becom- ing tired on one side of your body.

• If the spool become jammed, turn the device off immediately, remove the spark plug connector and then remove the cause of the blockage. Cutting grass

• On small grass areas, hold the equip- ment at an angle of approx. 30° and turn evenly to the right and left with a semi-circular movement.

• The best results are obtained with maximum grass length of 15 cm. If the grass is longer, mowing several times is recommended.

• To cut around trees, fence posts or other obstacles, go slowly around the obstacle with the equipment and cut with the thread tips.

• Avoid contact with solid obstacles (stones, walls, board fences etc) other- wise the thread will quickly wear out. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the equipment at the correct dis- tance Caution! Do not place the cut- ting head on the ground dur- ing operation! Extending the cutting thread The equipment comes with a double-thread tap mechanism, i.e. both threads extend if the cutting head is tapped on the ground.

1. Hold the equipment in operation over

a grassy area and lightly tap the cut- ting head a few times on the ground. This extends the thread.

2. The thread cutter included in the pro-

tective cover (15) cuts the thread to the desired length. If the thread ends no longer extend:

• Switch off the equipment.

• Press the reel insert until it stops and give a strong pull on the thread end. If no thread ends are visible:

• Replace the thread reel (see chapter on “Changing the Reel”). Caution! Thread remnants may be thrown out and cause injuries. If the Equipment Vibrates Clean the equipment, remove any grass remnants present on the cutting head and in the protective cover. Care and Maintenance The maintenance and cleaning work must always be carried out with the engine switched off and the spark plug con- nector removed ( K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C D E F G H I J 2).1 7 N I I E G B

4. Screw the thread cutter (16) aga-

ing on the protective cover (15). The spare parts which are to be ordered can be found in the “Spare parts/accessories“ section Changing the Fuel Filter Never operate the equipment with- out a fuel lter. Change the fuel lter regularly.

1. Remove the ller cap (34).

2. Drain the fuel tank (7) into an

appropriate container.

3. Pull the fuel lter (42) out of the tank

with a hook and turn to pull it off.

4. Replace the fuel lter and place

the removed suction head back in the tank.

5. Close the fuel tank (7) again

with the tank cap (34). The spare parts which are to be ordered can be found in the “Spare parts/accessories“ section Winding up the spool As an alternative to a new thread spool, you can purchase a 2 mm or 1.8 mm-thick, 5 m-long nylon thread in specialist shops and wind this yourself on the thread spool.1 9 N I I E G B

1. Fold the thread in the middle

and place the middle of the thread in the notch (45) of the spools (18). Wind up the two ends in the direction of the ar- row which is shown on the underside of the spool.

2. Then trap the end of each thread

in one of the grooves (46) on the spool (18). For threads which are 2 mm thick, select the grooves which are marked with the number 2, and for threads which are 1.8 mm thick, select the grooves marked 1.8. Pull the threads tight and ensure that they are parallel in the two thread channels. Furthermore, the thread spool must not be lled with more than 2.5 m of thread in each channel, as otherwise the automatic thread mechanism will not function correctly. Adjusting the Carburettor The carburettor is preset in the factory for optimal performance. If subsequent adjust- ments are required, have them carried out by a specialist workshop. Removing blockages Switch the device off and re- move the spark plug connec- tor before you work on the cutting unit. Wear protective gloves in order to avoid cutting yourself. Checking the coupling Place the device on a rm level sur- face. Make sure that the cutting tool does not touch either other objects or the ground. Before each use, check that the coupling is working correctly when idling. Start the device (see “Starting the en- gine”) and carry out a visual check at a sufciently safe distance to verify that the thread spool is not turning when the device is idling.2 0 G B I E N I General Storage Instructions

• Clean the equipment and accessories carefully before storage.

• Keep the equipment in a dry and dust- proof place out of reach of children.

• Do not wrap the equipment in plastic bags, as damp and mould may form.

• Do not store the equipment on the pro- tective cover; ideally hang it from the top handle. Storage During Working Breaks Non-observance of the storage instructions can cause starting problems or permanent damage as a result of fuel residues in the carbu- rettor. In case of working breaks of less than 3 months:

1. Drain the fuel tank (7) in a well-ventilat-

2. Start the engine and allow it to tick

over until the engine stops and the car- burettor is free of fuel.

3. Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5

minutes). Maintenance Intervals Regularly carry out the maintenance work listed in the “maintenance intervals” table. Regular maintenance prolongs the life of the equipment. It also gives optimum cutting per- formance and avoids accidents. Table “Maintenance Intervals” Machine Part Action Before Each Use Operating Hours
