General Safety Information

Do not allow access by children or by people who are ill or infir. 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 applies for all regulations concerning occupational safety and health in the workplace. The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the machines produced by the same are modifi ed without permission and if damage to people or property occurs as a result of such modifi cations.

Warning! Always take basic precautions when using machinery. Please also observe all tips and information in the additional safety information.

1. Observe the surrounding conditions under which you are working. The motorised equipment produces toxic fumes as soon as the engine is running. These gases may be odourless and invisible. Therefore, never work with the equipment 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 infirr - must be kept away from the workplace. Prevent other people 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 accessories 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.

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 objects 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 common sense. Do not use motorised tools when you are tired. Work with the equipment must not be carried out under the influence of

alcohol, drugs or medications, which impair reactions.

13. Filling with fuel.

• Always adhere to the current fire regulations and the respective state/federal regulations for fire prevention.

• Fuel and fuel fumes are highly flammable. Do not fi II with fuel when the engine is running or still hot. When fi II-ing up, ensure good ventilation. Smoking and open fl ames are prohibited.

• Always switch off the engine before fi lling. Always open the fi 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 fi lling. Otherwise, the fuel could ignite and cause serious injuries.

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

• After flling, 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 this motorised device can lead to problems with the blood circulation in the hands caused by vibrations (Raynaud's syndrome). However, the usage duration can be extended with suitable gloves or regular breaks. Be aware that personal tendency to poor circulation, low external temperatures and high gripping forces will reduce the usage duration when working.

1. Be aware of damaged parts. If the device suffers a heavy impact or is dropped, check it for signs of damage and wear before putting it back into operation. Are individual parts damaged? In case of slight damage ask seriously whether the tool will nonetheless work properly and safely. Ensure correct alignment and adjustment of moving parts. Do the parts interlock correctly? Are parts damaged? 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 operating instructions. Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised body. If repairs are required, please contact a customer service centre authorised by us.

2. Always switch off the engine before undertaking adjustments or maintenance work. This particularly applies for work on the thread reel.

3. Use only authorised parts. In case of maintenance and repair, use only identical spare parts. Spare parts are available from our online shop (see "Spare parts/Accessories").

Warning! The use of other mowing heads as well as accessories and attachments that are not explicitly recommended can result in danger to people and objects.

The tool is to be used only for the intended purpose. Any misappropriation is regarded as improper use. The user alone – and defi nitely not the

manufacturer - is responsible for property and personal damage resulting from such improper use.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable if machines from the same are modified or used improperly and damage occurs as a result.

Caution! A certain residual risk, which cannot be eliminated, always remains even in the case of proper use of the tool. The following potential hazards can be derived 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).

Operation

Working Notes

• When cutting, observe the country-specific / local regulations.
• Do not cut during commonly applicable 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 15cm . This prevents the risk to animals, e.g. hedgehogs.
  Always hold the equipment firmly and securely with both hands.
• Cut only grass and weeds. Be aware of roots or tree stumps - risk of tripping.
  Work considerably and endanger nobody 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 firm 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 regular intervals in order to prevent becoming tired on one side of your body.
  If the cutting head becomes jammed, turn the device off immediately, remove the spark plug connector and then remove the cause of the blockage.

Adjusting the carrying harness eyelet/balancing out the device

Select the correct position for the carrying harness eyelet according to whether you are using a spool or blade. The thread spool or blade (depending on which is selected) should be situated as follows without needing them to be touched by hand:

① The thread spool should lie gently on the ground.
② The blade should be balanced around 20 cm above the ground.

1. Loosen the screw (58) on the carrying harness eyelet (9). For this, use the 4 mm Allen key (24), the smaller of the two. Slightly tighten the screw (58) again.
2. Balance the strimmer according to the above criteria (depending on the cutting unit chosen) by sliding the eyelet (9) on the shaft tube (8).
3. Tighten the screw (58) once the strimmer is in the desired position.

Working using the thread spool

• On small grass areas, hold the equipment 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 15cm . 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) otherwise the thread will quickly wear out. Use the edge of the protective cover to keep the equipment at the correct distance

Caution! Do not place the cutting head on the ground during 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 cutting head a few times on the ground. This extends the thread.
2. The thread cutter (A14) included in the protective cover (A13) 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.

Working using the 3- or 4-toothed blade

Always wear the harness and suitable protection clothing when working with the device. Wear eye, hearing and head protection. Ensure that the blade is installed correctly. Replace damaged or blunt tool parts. There is a risk of injury.

Only use the cutting blade to work on open, even areas. Carefully inspect the area to be cut and remove all foreign bodies. Avoid hitting stones, metal or other obstacles. The blade can be damaged and there is a risk of kickback by the machine.

• When working, hold the cutter above the ground and slowly swivel the device back and forth like a scythe in an equal arch.
• Do not hold the cutting head at an angle.
• Do not use the device to cut wild growth or brushwood.
• Regularly check the blades for damage and replace as needed.

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 connector removed (A2). Have any work not described in these instructions carried out by our service centre. Never use metallic threads or saw blades. The use of such non-original parts can cause personal injury and irreparable damage to the equipment and will result in immediate invalidation of the guarantee.
