Frequently Asked Questions - BCA 4030 AL-KO

What types of cutting can I perform with the BCA 4030?

The BCA 4030 allows you to cut grass, similar vegetation with the line spool, and thicker plants, undergrowth and young brush with the 3-tooth blade. It is designed for domestic use and must be guided on the ground.

How do I change the line spool?

Turn off the device and remove the battery. Press the two unlocking buttons on the cover, remove it, then take out the empty spool. Insert a new spool (ref. 113478), thread the line through the holes in the cover, replace the cover until it clicks. Reinsert the battery and turn on the device to adjust the line length by tapping the cutting head on the grass.

Can I use a different blade?

Yes, the supplied 3-tooth blade can be replaced by the replacement blade ref. 113479. Use only AL-KO original parts to ensure safety and compliance.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear personal protective equipment: gloves, goggles, hearing protection, sturdy shoes and long trousers. Keep bystanders at least 15 m away. Before any maintenance, turn off the device and remove the battery. Do not work in rain or on slippery slopes.

How do I extend the cutting line during use?

Press the cutting head regularly on the grass while operating: this unwinds a new piece of line from the spool, and the worn end is cut by the line cutter integrated in the protective ring.

Is the attachment compatible with all AL-KO base units?

The BCA 4030 is compatible only with the AL-KO Multitool MT 40 base unit. Refer to the base unit's manual for assembly.

How do I clean and maintain the device?

After each use, clean the device thoroughly. For prolonged storage, clean the blade and spray with anti-corrosion oil. Use only original spare parts. Refer to the manual for maintenance details.

What to do if the blade jams?

If the blade jams during work, stop the motor immediately. Hold the device high to prevent the blade from jumping. Avoid jams by cutting from the side opposite to the brush's lean.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts (blade ref. 113479, line spool ref. 113478) are available from AL-KO authorized dealers or after-sales service. Always use original parts.

What is the warranty period?

The legal warranty against manufacturing defects applies for the period prescribed by the legislation of the country of purchase. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, subject to compliance with the user manual and use of original parts. Wear parts (e.g. blade, line) are not covered.

■ Attach the blade so that it does not loosen and fall during operation.

3.7.2 Vibration load

WARNING! Danger due to vibration. The actual magnitude of the vibration emissions during the use of the appliance may deviate from that stated by the manufacturer. Observe the following influencing factors before or during use:

Is the appliance being used as intended?
Is the material being cut or processed in the proper manner?
Is the appliance in a proper condition of use?
Is the cutting tool properly sharpened or is the correct cutting tool installed?
Are the handle grips and any optional vibration grips mounted, and are they firmly attached to the appliance?

■ Only operate the tool at the motor speed required for the respective work. Avoid using the maximum speed in order to reduce noise and vibrations.
The noise and vibrations of the tool may increase due to improper use and maintenance. This leads to health damage. In this case, immediately switch off the tool and have it repaired by an authorised service workshop.
The degree of stress due to vibration depends on the work to be performed or on the use of the tool. Estimate the stress and plan appropriate work breaks. This considerably reduces stress due to vibration over the entire working time.
■ Extensive use of the tool exposes the operator to vibrations, which can lead to circulatory issues ("white fingers"). To avoid this risk, wear gloves and keep your hands warm. If any symptoms of "white fingers" occur, immediately consult a physician. These symptoms include: Numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, itching, pain, reduced muscular strength, changes in the colour or condition of the skin. Normally these conditions affect the fingers, hands or pulse. The risk increases at low temperatures.
Take long breaks during your working day so you can recover from the noise and the vibrations. Plan your work in such a way that the use of appliances that generate strong vibrations is spread over several days.
If you notice an unpleasant sensation or discolouration of the skin on your hands when using the tool, stop work immediately. Take suf-

ficient work breaks. Without sufficient breaks, a hand/arm vibration syndrome can occur.

• Minimise your risk of being exposed to vibrations. Maintain the tool according to the instructions in the operating instructions.
  If the tool is used frequently, contact your dealer to purchase anti-vibration accessories (e.g. handles).
• Avoid working with the tool at temperatures below 10 °C. Define how the vibration load can be limited in a work plan.

3.7.3 Noise pollution

A certain level of noise exposure from this appliance is inevitable. Carry out noisy work at approved and specified time periods. Observe rest periods as necessary and restrict the duration of the work to a minimum. For your personal protection and protection of persons in the vicinity, appropriate hearing protection must be worn.
