7. Before commissioning

Before each commissioning, check the device for the following:

• Check the fuel system for leakage

• Faultless condition and completeness of the guards and the cutting device

• All screw connections are tight

• Smooth running of all moving parts

Recommended fuels Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as per the fuel mixing table. Attention: Do not use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 90 days. Attention: Do not use 2-stroke oil that recommends a mixing ratio of 100:1. The engine guarantee of the manufacturer becomes invalid in the event of damage to the engine due to insu󰀩cient lubrication. Attention: Use only designated and approved vessels for the transport and storage of fuel. Put the correct amount of petrol and 2-stroke oil in- to the enclosed mixing bottle. Then shake the ves- sel well. Never use oil for 4-stroke engines or water-cooled 2-stroke engines. This can cause the spark plug to become fouled, the exhaust part to become blocked or the piston ring to become stuck. Fuel mixtures that have not been used for one month or longer can clog the carburettor or impair engine op- eration. Put unused fuel in an airtight vessel and store it in a dark, cool room.

2. Fuel mixing table

Mixing process: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil Example: 1 l petrol: 0.025 l 2-stroke oil 5 l petrol: 0.125 l 2-stroke oil Warning! Pay attention to the exhaust gases.

Di󰀨erent cutting techniques If the device is assembled correctly, it cuts weeds and tall grass in hard-to-reach places, such as along fenc- es, walls and foundations, and around trees. It can al- so be used for “mowing” to remove wild growth close to the ground for preparing a garden or for cleaning out a specic area. (g. 43) m Attention: Even with careful use, cutting on foun- dations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will result in above-normal wear of the thread. Trimming/mowing Swing the trimmer from side to side in a sickle-like mo- tion. Always keep the thread coil parallel to the ground. Check the terrain and set the desired cutting height. Guide and hold the thread coil at the desired height to get an even cut. (g. 43) Low trimming Hold the trimmer with a slight inclination right in front of you so that the bottom of the thread coil is above the ground and the thread hits the correct intersection. Always cut away from yourself. Do not pull the trimmer towards you. Cutting on fence/foundation When cutting, slowly approach wire mesh fences, pick- et fences, natural stone walls and foundations to cut close to them, but without hitting the obstacle with the thread. If the thread comes into contact with stones, stone walls or foundations, for example, it wears out or frays. If the thread hits the fence mesh, it breaks o󰀨. Trimming around trees Trim around tree trunks, approaching slowly so that the thread does not touch the bark. Walk around the tree, cut- ting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the thread and tilt the thread coil slightly forward.

Warning: Be extremely careful when mowing it. Main-

tain a spacing of 30 metres between yourself and other persons or animals for any such tasks. Mowing down When mowing down, capture all vegetation down to the ground. To do this, tilt the thread coil to the right at a 30 degree angle. Set the handle to the desired position. Be aware of the increased danger of injury to the user, spectators and animals, as well as the risk of damage to property from objects being thrown (e.g. stones). You can release more thread by tapping the pulley with the cutting head while the engine is running at maximum speed: The nylon thread is automatically released and the cutting edge cuts o󰀨 the protruding length. (g. 41)

10. If problems occur, switch o󰀨 the engine; the de-

vice stops. If you want to stop the cutting head, release the throttle (8). (g. 27)

11. If a problem occurs, pull the pin of the safety belt

and release the trimmer immediately. Switch o󰀨 the engine (g. 22)

12. When the engine is warm, the throttle can be set

directly to the on position when the machine is re- started. Note: If the engine does not start up after several at- tempts, see the “Troubleshooting” section. Note: Always pull the start pull cord out straight. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will occur on the lug. This friction causes the cord to wear through and wear out faster. Always hold the starter handle when the cord retracts. Never let the cord snap back from its extended state. Note: Do not start the engine in tall grass. m Attention: If the motor has been switched o󰀨, the trimmer continues running for a few seconds; therefore keep away from the cutting head of the trimmer until it comes to a complete standstill!

9. Working instructions

Extension of the cutting thread Warning! Do not use metal wire or any type of plas- tic-coated metal wire in the thread coil. This could seri- ously injure the user. To lengthen the cutting thread, run the engine at full throttle and tap the thread coil on the ground. The thread is automatically lengthened. (g. 41) The blade on the shield shortens the thread to the per- missible length. (g. 16) m Caution: Regularly remove all lawn and weed debris to prevent the shaft tube from overheating. Lawn/grass/ weed debris gets caught underneath the shield, this prevents su󰀩cient cooling of the shaft tube. Carefully re- move the residues with a screwdriver or similar. (g. 42)www.scheppach.com

Storing the device If you stow the device for longer than 30 days, it must be prepared ahead of time. Otherwise, the remaining fuel in the carburettor will evaporate and leave a rub- bery sediment behind. This could make it di󰀩cult to start and result in expensive repair work.

1. Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any

pressure in the tank. Carefully empty the tank.

2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops in order

to remove the fuel from the carburettor.

3. Allow the engine to cool down (approx. 5 minutes).

4. Remove the spark plug

5. Add 1 teaspoon of clean 2-stroke oil to the com-

bustion chamber. Pull the starter cord slowly several times to coat the internal components. Re-insert the spark plug. Note: Store the device in a dry location, far away from potential sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot wa- ter boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc. Recommissioning

1. Remove the spark plug.

2. Pull the starter cord quickly to remove excess oil

from the combustion chamber.

3. Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode

gap on the spark plug is correct is correctly set, or insert a new spark plug with the correct elec- trode gap.

4. Prepare the device for operation.

5. Fill the tank with the correct fuel/oil mixture. See

fuel mixing table. Transport If you want to transport the device, empty the fuel tank as explained in chapter 8. Clean coarse dirt from the device using a brush or a hand brush.

Always shut the engine down and remove the spark plug connector before carrying out any maintenance and cleaning work.

1. Do not spray the device with water. This damages

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

m Warning: Do not remove objects from footpaths etc. with the device! The device is a powerful tool and small stones or oth- er objects can be thrown 15 metres or more away and cause injuries or damage to cars, houses and windows. Jamming If the cutting blade jams because the vegetation is too dense, stop the engine immediately. Clear the device of grass and undergrowth before operating it again. (g. 42) Avoidance of kick-back When working with the cutting blade, there is a danger of kick-back if it hits solid obstacles (tree trunk, branch, tree stump, stone or the like). The device is thrown back against the direction of rotation of the tool. This can lead to loss of control over the device. Do not use the cutting blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations.

10. Cleaning and storage

• Keep the handles free of oil so that you always have a secure grip.

• If necessary, clean the device with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild ushing liquid.

• Keep protective devices, air vents and the engine housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the product clean with a clean cloth or blow it o󰀨 with compressed air at low pressure.

• We recommend that you clean the product directly after every use.

• Clean the product at regular intervals using a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the product. Make sure that no water can penetrate the interior of the product. m Attention!

• Disconnect the spark plug connector before cleaning.

• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids for cleaning.

• Store the trimmer in a secure and dry place and out of reach of children. Storage Caution: Never stow the device for longer than 30 days without carrying out the following steps:www.scheppach.com

Replace or sharpen the cutting edge at the end of each mowing season or as needed. The brush cutter can vibrate excessively if the cutting edges are not balanced; therefore there is a danger of injury! Replacing and cleaning the spark plug (g. 32 - 33)

1. Once the engine has cooled down, remove the

spark plug with the supplied socket spanner.

2. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush.

3. Set the gap to 0.5 to 0.7 mm with a feeler gauge.

4. Insert the spark plug carefully by hand so that the

thread is not damaged.

5. After the spark plug is inserted, tighten it with the

spark plug wrench. Cleaning the air lter (g. 30 - 31) Fouled air lters diminish the engine output due to re- duced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential.

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

• Replace the air lter cover so that nothing falls into the air duct.

• Wash the lter element in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to air dry. Attention: Never clean the air lter with petrol or combustible solvents. m Warning! Never leave the engine running if the air lter ele- ment is not inserted. Lubricating the angular gear Treat with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw and put in the grease, turn the shaft manually until the grease comes out; and then attach the screw again. Storing the device Clean the device thoroughly after use. Store the de- vice in a dry place and allow the engine to cool down beforehand.

12. Repair & ordering spare parts

After repairs or maintenance, make sure that all safe- ty-related parts are installed and are in perfect con- dition. All parts which may cause injury must be kept where they are inaccessible to children or others. Maintenance plan after 12 operating hours after 24 operating hours after 36 operating hours Air lter Clean Clean Replace Spark plug Check Clean Replace Expert inspection required:

• if the trimmer hits an object.

• if the engine suddenly stops.

• if the cutting edge is bent (do not straighten it your- self!).

• if the transmission is damaged. Replacing the thread coil/cutting thread (g. 35 - 39)

1. Dismantle the thread coil (1) as described in Sec-

tion 8.4. Press the coil together and remove one half of the housing (g. 35).

2. Remove the bobbin plate from the thread coil

3. Remove any remaining cutting thread.

4. Fold the new cut thread in the centre and hook the

resulting loop into the recess in the bobbin plate. (g. 37)

5. Wind the thread anti-clockwise under tension. The

bobbin divider separates the two halves of the cut thread. (g. 38)

6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two thread ends into the

opposite thread holders of the bobbin plate. (g. 39)

7. Pass the two thread ends through the metal lugs

in the thread coil housing.

8. Press the bobbin plate into the thread coil hous-

9. Pull briey and rmly on both ends of the thread to

release them from the thread holders.

10. Put the housing halves back together. (g. 35)

11. Cut back the excess thread to about 13 cm. This

reduces the load on the engine during starting and warming up.

12. Ret the thread coil (see section 8.4). If the com-

plete thread coil is replaced, skip points 3-6. Grinding the cutting blade The cutting blade can become blunt over time.

• If you notice this, loosen the screws securing the cutting blade to the protective cover.

• Fasten the blade in a bench vice.

• Grind all 3 cutting unit blades using a at le and make sure to maintain the angle of the cutting edge. Only le in one direction.www.scheppach.com
