7. Fitting the cutter bar and the chain

• Remove the chain wheel cover (Fig. 45/ Item J) by undoing the fastening nut (Item I). Lay the chain (Item F) as shown into the groove which runs around the cutter bar (Item E).

• Note the alignment of the chain teeth (Fig. 44). Insert the cutter bar as shown in Fig. 44 into the mount at the gear unit.

• Place the chain round the chain wheel (Item H). Make sure that the teeth of the chain engage se- curely in the chain wheel. The cutter bar must be hooked into the chain tensioning bolt (Item G).

• Fit the chain wheel cover Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension (see

Tensioning the chain (Fig. 45-48) Important! Always pull out the spark boot plug be- fore performing any checks or adjustments.

• Undo the fastening screw (Item I) of the chain wheel cover by a few turns (Fig. 45).

• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 47/ Item K). Turning the screw clock- wise increases the chain tension, turning it coun- terclockwise decreases the chain tension. The chain is correctly tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar (Fig. 46).

• Tighten the xing screw of the chain wheel cover (Fig. 48).

• Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar. Notes on tensioning the chain: The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you know that the chain tension is ideal. During cutting, the temperature of the chain rises and its length changes. It is important therefore to check the chain tension at least every 10 minutes and to adjust it again as required. This applies in par- ticular to new saw chains. When you have nished working, slacken the chain again as it will shorten when it cools down. This will help to prevent dam- age to the chain.

8. Filling with fuel

m Danger of injury! Fuel is explosive! Turn the motor o󰀨 and let the machine cool down. Wear safety gloves. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Make sure you observe the “Safety Instructions” par- agraph.

• Only ever refuel the tool outdoors or in su󰀩ciently ventilated rooms.

• Clean around the lling area. Contaminants in the tank will cause operating problems.

• Before refuelling, shake the container with the fuel mixture.

• Carefully open the fuel ller cap (B) so that poten- tial pressure can be release. Fig. 19

• Clean the fuel ller cap and the area around it.

• Check the tank and the fuel line for leaks. Before starting the motor, remove yourself from the fuelling place by at least three metres. Draining fuel. Fig. 36 Only ever empty the tank outdoors or in well- ventilated rooms. Make sure not to spill fuel or chain oil into the soil (environmental protection). Use a proper base.

• Hold a collection container beneath the fuel drain bolt.

• Unscrew the tank cap and remove it.

• Allow the fuel to run out completely.

• Screw the tank cap on rmly by hand.

9. Start on the unit

Do not start the unit until it has been completely as- sembled. m Danger of injury! Only start the petrol multi garden tool if an at- tachment is connected! Remove the appropriate transportation protection and inspect the unit in good working condition. Never use a damaged, poorly adjusted or serviced or not completely and securely assembled device. Check before use!

• Check the safe condition of the device:

• Check the device for leaks.

• Check the device for visual defects.

• Check that all parts of the device have been se- curely tted.

• Check that all safety devices are in proper condi- tion. Start Fig. 17, 19-23 Once the machine has been set up properly, start the engine as follow:

1. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. Fig. 20

2. Put the choke lever on the position. Fig. 20

3. Press the fuel pump more than 5 times. Fig. 19 www.scheppach.com

• Always so that the cutting tool no longer turns in a proper engine idle not press down the throttle.

• Always work with high speed so you have the best cutting results.

• Move the device with a uniform curved movement from left to right and back again. Then cut the next section. Fig. 39 Attention: Always move the device back into the original position before cutting the next path.

• Poke when working on a stone or a tree, turn o󰀨 the engine and remove the spark plug then exam- ine the petrol brush cutter for damage.

• Caution: Always be extra careful when working in di󰀩cult terrain and slopes. Cut tall grass gradually so as not to overload the unit.

• Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection and a safety helmet.

• Use the cutting blade to comb through brushwood, rank growth, young tree populations (trunk diameter of maximum 2 cm), and high grass.

• While using metal cutting tools, there is generally a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a solid obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby, the tool is hurled backwards against the rotating direction.

• To cut rank growth and brushwood, you “immerse” the cutting blade from the top. This chops the ma- terial to be cut

• Attention! The cutting unit is still running! Do not stop the cutting unit with your hand.

• Keep the cutting unit of the string trimmer away from feet. CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this working technique, because the further away the cut- ting tool is from the ground, the higher is the risk that objects to be cut and particles will be hurled side- ways. Mowing with grass trimmer

• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also at uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.

• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle, and use the tip of the line to cut around the ob- stacle. When the trimming line comes into contact with stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or breaks o󰀨 ahead of time.

• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire. Risk of injuries Automatic thread trimming (Fig. 36) The petrol cutting blade is delivered with a lled line cassette. This line will wear out during work. To feed new line, forcefully press the head of the line cas- sette onto the ground while the engine is running at working speed. The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal force.

4. Pull the recoil starter handle (9) 35 times to start

the engine. Fig. 21 Never place feet on the shaft or kneel on it.

5. Once the motor is running, briey wait, then put

the choke lever into position. Fig. 22

6. To start the cutting tools, operate the release le-

ver (8) with the palm of your hand, and the throttle lever (11) with your ngers. The further you push the throttle lever, the higher the motor speed. When releasing the throttle lever, the motor be- comes idle and the cutting tools stop. Fig. 23. The cutting tools should not continue turning and should not move when the motor is idle.

7. If there are problems, immediately turn the mo-

tor switch (7) to “0” so the motor stops. Caution: The cutting tools may continue turning for a few seconds. Fig. 23

8. If any problem occurs, pull the pin of safety belt,

then release the brush cutter immediately. Fig. 17

9. If the motor is warm, you can leave the choke le-

ver in the “warm start and work” position. Note: If the engine does not start up even after sev- eral attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshoot- ing“. Note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction will oc- cur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the cable will become frayed and will wear away faster. Always hold the starter handle when the cable re- tracts. Never allow the cable to snap back when it has been pulled out. Note: Do not start the motor in tall grass. m Attention: When the engine has been switched o󰀨, the cutting unit continues running for several sec- onds therefore do not touch the cutting unit until it has come to a standstill!

9. Working instructions

Working with brush cutter / grass trimmer

• When you work with the petrol brush cutter for the rst time, familiarize yourself with the operation and control of the petrol cutting blade without run- ning engine.

• The design of the petrol brush cutter allows for op- eration only at the right side of the user's body.

• Keep the petrol brush cutter rmly with both hands on the handles.

• Hold the operating handle with your right hand and the handle on the shaft with your left hand.

• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to rotate briey after the throttle has been released. www.scheppach.com

Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time before starting work, with environmentally friendly lu- bricant. Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well. Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been turned o󰀨. CAUTION: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of pieces hurled away. To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting blade, take note of following points:

• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is larger than 2 cm.

• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.

• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages. Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.

• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt, it must be sharpened according to instructions. When the cutting blade is apparently out of bal- ance, it must be replaced. Working with pole saw Oiling of the chain and bar It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.

• Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig. 47 / L)

• Fill the chain oil tank (Fig. 47 / M) to 80% with chain oil.

• Close Oil tank cap (Fig. 47 / L) Oil Supply Control Always make sure that the automatic oil system is working properly. Always ensure the oil tank is full. During sawing work, the guide and the chain must always be su󰀩ciently oiled to reduce friction with the chain bar. The chain bar and the chain must never be without oil. If you operate the chain dry or with too little oil, the cutting performance will decrease, the service life of the chain bar will reduce, the chain will become blunt quickly and the guide will wear rapidly owing to overheating. You can detect a lack of oil from smoke development or the guide changing colour. To check the chain lubrication keep the chain on a piece of paper and give full throttle for a few seconds. On the paper the quantity of oil can be checked. The saw chain must always throw o󰀨 a little oil. After a few seconds, a slight oil trace must be visible. Make sure that there is always enough oil in the tank because chain lubrication is always on. The knife at the line guard will shorten the trimming line to the correct length. Run the trim line approach cautiously to an obstacle and cut with the tip of the line around the obstacle. Mowing with hedge trimmer

• Use the hedge trimmer to comb through brush- wood, rank growth and young tree populations

• Hold the string trimmer at a safe distance away from your body with two hands.

• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood’s type, age, moisture and hardness.

• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to your desired length before trimming the hedge.

• Thanks to the its doublesided cutting unit, the string trimmer can be moved forward and back- ward or from one side to the other swinging it back and forth.

• Cut the sides of the hedges rst and then the top edge.

• Cut the hedges from bottom to the top.

• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to insu󰀩cient light.

• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.

• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion of the hedge.

• Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the hedges (e.g. wire), since it may damage the cutting unit of the hedge cutters.

• Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop the blades with your hand. Best time for hedge trimming:

• Leaved hedge: June and October

• Conifer hedge: April and August

• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6 weeks Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put o󰀨 hedge trimming or leave this area out. Angle adjustment By swivelling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can be adjusted to the working conditions from +90° to 75°. Fig. 42.

• Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has been turned o󰀨.

• Push both levers down and put the cutter head in the required position. Fig. 41

• Release both levers until they click into place in the notch.

• Before use, check that the adjustment levers have clicked into place properly. Fig. 42 www.scheppach.com

• Saw until the branch breaks. The risk of injury on the trunk is no.

• Finally, remove with a clean cut from the top of the trunk along the remaining.

• Thus, the damage to the tree are kept as low as possible, we recommend the interface additionally to seal with grafting wax. Hazards by reactive forces Reactive forces occur during operation of the saw chain. The forces which are applied to the wood are against the operator. They occur when the moving chain comes into contact with a xed object such as a branch or is pinched. These forces can lead to a loss of control and injury. Understanding the origin of these forces can help you to avoid the scare and the loss of control. This saw is designed to make the return e󰀨ects are not as noticeable as with traditional chain saws. Always still keep a rm grip and a good level to main- tain control of the tool in doubt. The most common e󰀨ects are:

• retreat Kickback The setback can occur when the moving saw chain meets at the upper quarter of the guide rail on a solid object or is pinched. The cutting force exerted on the chain from the saw, a rotational force in the opposite direction to the chain travel. This leads to an upward movement of the guide rail. Avoid kickback The best protection is to avoid situations that lead to setbacks.

1. Keep the position of the upper guide rail always

2. Leave this place never come into contact with an

object. Cut anything with it. Be especially careful near wire fences and cutting small, hard knots, in which the chain can easily pinch.

3. Cut only one branch at a time.

Withdrawal The withdrawal occurs when the chain on the under- side of the bar suddenly stuck because it is jammed or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The chain then pulls the saw forward. The withdrawal often happens when the chain is not running at full speed when in contact with the wood. Avoid withdrawal Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the chain on the underside of the bar. Automatic chain lubrication - Settings possible! Fine adjustment, Fig. 49 You can reduce or increase the quantity of oil using the screw (S). Clockwise oil quantity is reduced () Anticlockwise oil quantity is increased (+) Precautions for Saw procedure Never stand under the branch you want to saw. Use special caution when working with branches under tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of wood. In general, it is recommended to set the prun- ing saw at an angle of 60° to the road. Keep both hands well with the device during the cut- ting process and pay you up to an equilibrium posi- tion and a good level.

• Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss of control of your tool can cause serious injury or death. Never work on a ladder, a tree branch or other unstable surfaces.

• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cut- ter bar.

• Make sure that the chain tension is always cor- rectly adjusted.

• Practice for guiding the device slight pressure, but you do not overload the motor. Clear the work area before cutting interfering branch- es and undergrowth. Then you create a retreat area, far from the spot where the cut branches fall on, and remove any obstacles there. Keep the work area clean, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay at- tention to your point, wind direction and the possible direction of fall of the branches. Be prepared that fallen branches can strike back. Place all other tools and equipment at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the retreat area. Always observe the condition of the tree. Look for rot and decay in the roots and branches. If they are rotten inside, they can break o󰀨 and fall down unexpectedly during cutting. You could also attend by fractured and dead branch- es out, which is solved by the shake and fall on you. For very thick or heavy branches you rst make a small incision below the branch before you work from the top down to avoid chipping. Basic cutting technique Heavy branches break o󰀨 easily when sawing. They tear long strips of bark away from the trunk, which damages the tree sustainably. The following section technique can signicantly reduce this risk:

• Saw the rst branch about 10 cm from the trunk.

• Put in about 15 cm from the base of the top of a further section. www.scheppach.com

• If necessary: Retighten accessible fastening screws and nuts. You will avoid excessive wear and tear and dam- ages of the tool, when you follow the instructions in this manual. Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 24-29

1. Pull o󰀨 the line guard cap from the line spool

(5) by forcefully pressing between the retaining plates.

2. Remove the spool with line remaining and the

4. Take the new line spool and pull out 10 cm at both

5. Now, place the line spool (5) on the tapered

spring, and guide both lines each through the round metal lugs at the line spool housing.

6. Then place the spool cover on the new line spool

(5). Turn it so that the plates of the spool cover are pushed with the springs in the line spool housing.

7. Now, press the spool cover together with the line

spool, until it engages in the line spool housing.

8. The knife (A) in the protective hood (18) shortens

the trimming line to the correct length, when the engine starts again. Grinding the safety hood blade Fig. 18 (A) The safety hood blade can become blunt over time.

• When you notice this, undo the screw holding the safety hood blade on the safety hood.

• Clamp the blade in a vise.

• Sharpen the blade with a at le and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process (~25°). File in one direction only.

• Important! Install the cutting knife again Grinding the cutting blade (17) If the blades become slightly dull, you can sharpen them yourself.

• Fasten the blade in a vice.

• Grind all 3 cutting unit blades using a at le and make sure to maintain the angle of the cutting edge. (~25°) Only le in one direction.

• Replace the blades after sharpening them ve times at the latest. Replacing and resharpening the cutting blade at the end of the mowing season always resharpen the cut- ting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade with a new one. Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vibrate violentlyrisk of accident! Lubricate angle transmission, Brush cutter Fig. 8 (o) Lubricate with lithiumbased grease. Remove the screw and put in the grease, turning the shaft manu- ally until grease emerges, then replace the screw. Always start with running at full speed chain to cut. Recoil The recoil occurs when the chain on top of rail sud- denly stuck because it is jammed or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The chain can jerkily hold the saw against the operator. Rebounds happen of- ten if the top rail is used for cutting. Avoid recoil Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the chain on top of rail. Do not cut more than one branch at a time. Do not tilt the rail to the side when you pull them out of a cutting gap, since the chain could get caught otherwise.

WARNING: Always wear protective gloves when

working on or around cutting tools. For nonuse, transport or storage always attach the transport guard to all cutting tools. Fig. 1 (14a, 15a, 17c) Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, always turn o󰀨 the engine and pull out the spark boot plug.

1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the

2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.

3. Use a moist piece of cloth to clean the plastic

parts. Do not use any cleaning agents, solvents, or sharp objects.

4. During the course of work, wet grass and weed

wraps around the drive shaft below the cutting guard for technical reasons. Remove this, oth- erwise the engine will overheat because of too much friction. Regular checks Keep in mind that following specications relate to normal usage. Owing to circumstances (longer pe- riods of daily work, severe dust exposure, etc.), the specied intervals will become correspondingly shorter.

• Before starting work, after tank lling, after impact or dropping: Check the cutting tools for secure seating, general visual check for cracks and damage.

• Immediately replace damaged or blunt cutting tools, even in the event of minor hairline cracks.

• Sharpen cutting tools (also when required).

• Weekly inspection: Lubrication of gear (also, if necessary). www.scheppach.com

Attention! Fill only a small amount of grease. Do not overll. Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 30-31 Check the spark plug air gap at least once a year or when the engine starts poorly. The correct gap be- tween ignition ag and ignition contact is 0.25"/0.63 mm.

• Wait until the engine has cooled down completely.

• Pull the spark plug cap o󰀨 the spark plug, and use the supplied spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug by turning.

• When the electrode is severely worn out or reveals a strong incrustation, the spark plug must be re- placed with an equivalent plug.

• A strong incrustation of the spark plug can be caused by: Amount of oil is too high in the gasoline mix, poor oil quality, old gasoline mix, or plugged up air lter.

• Screw the spark plug by hand completely into the thread. (Avoid jamming it)

• Use the supplied spark plug wrench to tighten the spark plug.

• When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque is 1215 Nm.

• Plug the spark plug socket correctly on the plug. Clean the air lter Fig. 32-35 Soiled air lters reduce the engine power by sup- plying too little air to the carburetor. Dust and pollen plug up the pores of the lter made of foamed plastic. Regular checks are therefore essential.

• Unclip the air lter cover and remove the sponge lter element.

• To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace the air lter cover.

• Wash the lter element in warm soap water, rinse and allow drying naturally. Important: Never clean the air lter with petrol or inammable solvents. In order not to shorten the service life of the engine, a damaged air lter must be replaced at once. m Warning! Never run the engine without the air lter ele- ment installed. Care of the guide rail Turn the rail around every time you have the chain sharpened or replaced. This will avoid a onesided wear of the rail, especially at the top and bottom. Regularly clean 1 = the opening for the oil supply 2 = the oil passage 3 = the raceway groove of the rail Servicing and sharpening of saw chain The correct sharpened chain Working e󰀨ectively with the chainsaw is only pos- sible if the chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The chain can be resharpened by any dealer. Do not at- tempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience. A properly sharpened chain goes way through the wood and it requires very little pressure. Do not work with a dull or damaged chain. It increases physical exertion, increase the vibrations and leads to unsat- isfactory results and higher wear.

• Replace damaged or worn parts with matching spare parts they are in the shape and size of the original parts as necessary.

• Sharpening a chain should be performed only by experienced users!

• Notice. Below the angle and dimensions If the chain is not properly sharpened or the depth is too small, there is a higher risk of reversion e󰀨ects and resulting injuries!

• The chain cannot be xed on the guide rail. It is therefore best to remove the chain from the rail and then sharpen.

• Select the appropriate tools for the chain pitch sharpening tool. See "Specications" for the al- lowed chain pitches. The chain pitch (for example 3/8 ") is highlighted in the depth of each blade. Use only special les for chain saws! Other les have the wrong shape and the wrong cut. Select the le according to the diam- eter of your chain pitch. Make sure to observe the following angle when sharpening the chain diameter. A = ling angle B = the angle of the side plate The angle must also be maintained for all knives.

Setting the idle speed Fig. 50 If the cutting tool is still moving when the device is in idle, change the idle speed.

1. Let the motor warm up for 35 minutes

(not at high speed!).

2. Turn the adjusting screw (S):

clockwise The idle speed will increase (+) anti-clockwise The idle speed will decrease () The idle speed is 3000 rpm. Contact the manufacturer if the cutting tool still con- tinues to move in idle. Do not continue working with the tool! The user is responsible for all damages caused by non-compliance with instructions in this manual. This also applies to non-authorized modications of the tool, use of non-authorized spare parts, accessories, working tools, unre- lated and not intended use, secondary damages due to use of faulty components. Wear Parts Even when used in the intended way, some compo- nents are subject to normal wear. They have to be replaced depending on the kind of duration of usage. These parts include, among others, the cutting tool and the retaining disk. m Warning! Use only original manufacturer‘s replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to do so can cause poor performance, possible injury and may void your warranty.
