justed to ON position directly when re start the machine. Note: If the engine does not start up even after sev- eral attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshoot- ing“.www.scheppach.com

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 retracts. 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 cutter continues running for several seconds therefore do not close to cutting head of brush cutter until the cutter has come to a standstill!

9. Working instructions

Extending the cutting line Caution! Do not use any kind of metal wire or metal wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This may cause serious injuries to the user. To extend the cut- ting line, run the engine at full speed and tap the line spool on the ground. This will automatically extend the line. Fig. 41 The blade on the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate length. Fig. 16 m Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube over- heating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped under the safety shield and prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like. Fig. 42 Di󰀨erent cutting methods When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in places which are di󰀩cult to access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations and also around trees. It can also be used for „mowing“ down vegetation so that a garden can be better pre- pared or a certain area cleared down to the soil. Fig.

m Attention: Even if it is used carefully, cutting around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will result in the line su󰀨ering more than normal wear. Trimming/mowing Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the ground. Check the site and decide which cutting height you require. Guide and hold the line spool at the required height to obtain an even cut. Fig. 43 Low trimming Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so that the underside of the line spool is above the ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer to- wards yourself. Cutting along fences/foundations Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so that you can cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire fencing, it will break. Trimming around trees When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool forwards slightly. Warning! Take extreme care during mowing work. When doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters between yourself and other people or animals. Mowing When mowing, you want to cut all the vegetation down to the ground. To do this, set the line spool at an angle of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required position. Remember the increased risk of in- jury to the user, watchers and animals, and the dan- ger of damaging property due to objects (for example stones) being thrown. Warning! Do not use the equipment to remove ob- jects from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a power- ful tool and can throw small stones and other objects a distance of 15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage to cars, houses and windows. Jamming If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch o󰀨 the engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment before you restart it. Fig. 42 Preventing recoil When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, branch- es, tree stumps, stones or the like. This will throw the equipment backwards in the direction opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause you to lose control of the equipment. Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations.www.scheppach.com

Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, always turn o󰀨 the engine and pull out the spark boot plug.

1. Dismantle the line spool (1) as described in sec-

tion 8.4 Assembly. Press the spool together and remove one half of the housing. Fig. 35

2. Take the spool plate out of the line spool housing.

3. Remove any remaining cutting line.

4. Place the new cutting line in the center and hang

the loop which has formed into the recess in the spool splitter. Fig. 37

5. Wind the line onto the spool counter-clockwise

and under tension. The spool splitter will sepa- rate the two halves of the line. Fig. 38

6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line

onto the opposite lying line holders of the spool plate. Fig. 39

7. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal

eyelets in the line spool housing.

8. Press the spool plate into the line spool housing.

9. Pull the two line ends sharply to release them

from the line holders.

10. Join the housing parts together again. Fig. 35

11. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm.

This will reduce the load on the engine when starting and warming up.

12. Remount the line spool (see section 8.4). If you

are replacing the complete line spool, skip points 3-6. Grinding the safety hood blade 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. File in one direction only. 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 vi- brate violently-risk of accident! Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 32 - 33

1. Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark

plug using the socket spanner supplied.

2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.

3. Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.5-0.7 mm.

4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid

5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with span-

ner to compress the washer. Clean the air lter Fig. 28 - 31 Soiled air lters reduce the engine power by supply- ing too little air to the carburetor. 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. m Warning! Never run the engine without the air lter ele- ment installed. Lubricate angle transmission Lubricate with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw and put in the grease, turning the shaft manu- ally until grease emerges, then replace the screw. Storing the unit After cutting, clean the unit thoroughly. Store the unit in a dry room allow the motor to cool down before- hand.
