STOPPING THE ENGINE (F1)

1. release the throttle valve lever and let the Engine run for half a minute
2. move the ignition switch to the "0"(STOP) position

NOTE

If the Engine does not stop after switching off, close the choke so that the Engine stops after a while.

IMPORTANT

During the first 20 hours of operation, the hedge trimmer should not be used at full power for long periods.

ADJUSTING THE IDLE SPEED

Before adjusting the carburettor, clean the air filter and let the Engine run warm.
- The idle limiting screw is adjusted so that there is a sufficient safety margin between the idle speed and clutch engagement.

(1) Air filter (F5)
(2) Idle speed limiter screw (F6)

WARNING!

When the Engine is idling (2,700 ~ 3400 rpm), the blade should not move. You can adjust the carburettor yourself (please contact our customer service). However, we recommend having this done by an authorized mechanic.

USE:

For easy trimming of hedges, the handle can be turned 90^ to the right or left.

Do not operate the throttle during this procedure!

WARNING!

Proceed as follows:

1. release the handle by pressing the locking lever.

2. Turn the handle until the locking lever audibly engages.

3. When the grab handle is locked in its new position, the throttle can be operated again.

(1) Handle
(2) Locking lever

1. only use as much gas as the use of the equipment requires. excessive Engine speeds are not necessary.

2. Avoid cutting thicker branches as this may damage the cutting blades and shorten the life of the power system.

3. If the equipment is held at an angle of 5 - 10^ to the object to be cut, the work can be done more easily and the cutting will be more attractive.
   Always hold the body on the carburettor side of the equipment, never on the exhaust side.
4. When a new piece of equipment is used for the first time, grease may leak out of the gear case during the first few minutes. Since this is excess grease, there is no reason for concern. Just wipe it off when you stop the equipment again.

21. Refuelling the device

WARNING!

Gasoline is very highly flammable. Avoid smoking or handling naked flames or sparks near the fuel.
- Remove all obstacles before starting work.
- Also ensure that the Engine has stopped and cooled down before refuelling.
- For this purpose, a free area outside of buildings must be selected.

IMPORTANT!

RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO: FUEL 40: OIL 1

• Do not use mixed oil (2-stroke water cooling) as this can lead to spark plug contamination and block the exhaust port or cause the piston ring to seize.

• Using mixed fuel that has not been used for a month or more may cause the carburettor to clog, resulting in the engine not operating properly. Store excess fuel in a closed container in a cool place. The air-cooled two-stroke engine consumes a mixture of quality engine oil and regular gasoline (with or without lead, but without alcohol).

• The Engines should be lubricated with oil that has a special formula for use with air-cooled 2-stroke petrol engines. We recommend here the original FUXTEC 2T oil (Made in Germany) to ensure the longevity of the Engine.

FUEL MIXTURE

Mix fuel with 2-stroke oil in a container provided for this purpose. Note the following the mixture table on the following page for correct fuel/oil ratio. Shake the tank to ensure complete mixing.

Petrol	Two-stroke engine oil (40:1)	Petrol	Two-stroke engine oil (40:1)
1 Litre	0.025 Litre	5 Litre	0.125 Litre
2 Litre	0.050 Litre	10 Litre	0.250 Litre

WARNING: Lack of lubrication rules out the liability of the device manufacturer.

Gasoline and oil may not be mixed in a ratio of more than 40:1.

WARNING

• Petrol is highly flammable and can cause an explosion if sparks are produced
• Refuel only in well-ventilated rooms and have the Engine cool down before filling. Smoking and open flames as well as any sparks must be avoided throughout refuelling.
• Do not overfill the tank (see figure max. level)
  After refuelling, check that the fuel filler cap is properly closed
• Avoid any spillage of petrol
• Keep the device away from children

22. Maintenance and cleaning

WARNING!

Always wear safety gloves when cleaning and servicing the equipment, switch off the Engine and let it cool down.

1. FILTER

The cleanliness of the filter must be checked every day. If the filter on one side of the carburettor is dusty, it must be cleaned. When assembling the filter, the order must be observed as follows: Filter core filter filter core. If the dust is not removed, the dust will continue to penetrate the Engine causing piston wear or even damage to the Engine.

2.CUTTING EDGE

If the slit between the cutting edges exceeds 0.7mm , the cutting edge must be replaced. Otherwise the dust can penetrate through the slot into the gear box and cause internal wear.

3. SAFETY CUT-OUT (1, F12)

WARNING!

Stop operation if the safety cut-out is defective.

The safety cut-out is a device that prevents the throttle lever from being accidentally operated. Throughout the safety cut-out, you can operate the throttle.

a. Make sure that the throttle lever does not operate if you do not press the safety cut-out.
b. Make sure that the throttle lever can be operated if you touch or press it while pressing the safety cut-out.
c. Make sure that the safety cut-out returns to its original position when you remove your hand from the safety cutout.

If you find a defect in the above checks, contact your nearest service centre for repair.

A deformed or damaged anti-vibration system can cause breakage, causing the Engine and/or the cutter blade to become loose or fall off.

Check regularly that the springs are not deformed or damaged.

5. AIR FILTERS

IMPORTANT!

A dirty air filter has a negative effect on engine performance.

Check the foam filter and clean with compressed air if necessary. If the filter element is dirty, it should be replaced.

6. FUEL FILTER

If the fuel supply is reduced, check the fuel filler cap and the fuel filter for blockages.

7. SUPPLY OF COOLING AIR

This Engine is air-cooled. Dust or wood shavings between the cooling air intake and the cylinder fins will cause the Engine to overheat. Periodically check and clean the cylinder fins after removing the air filter and cylinder cover.

8. IGNITION PLUG

Starting errors and misfires are often caused by a dirty spark plug. The spark plug must be cleaned regularly and replaced as required.

IMPORTANT

When removing the spark plug, it is forbidden to remove the washer from the spark plug cap. Without this washer, the Engine may overheat.

IMPORTANT

When fitting, first tighten the spark plug with your fingers and then tighten it a quarter turn with a socket wrench.
