7. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from town to town.

Before starting up the equipment remove the protective caps from the cutting blade (18).

7.1 Starting the engine when cold

Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol mix. See „Fuel and oil“.

1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7) ten times
3. Set the On/Off switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to „I“.
4. Secure the throttle lever. To do this, press the throttle lever lock (Fig. 1/Item 12) and then

press the throttle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11) and lock the throttle lever by pressing the lock (Fig. 1/Item 10) at the same time.

1. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to „”,
2. Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the starter cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it begin to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter cable 4 times. The equipment should start. Note: Never allow the starter line to snap back. This may result in damage. Warning: Since the throttle lever is secured, the cutting tool will start to operate when the engine is started.
3. Once the engine has started, move the choke lever immediately to , and allow the equipment to warm up for approx. 10 seconds. Then release the throttle lever by simply actuating it (the engine then returns to running in idle mode).
4. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 4-8 above.

Please note: If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the section "Engine Troubleshooting". Please note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction will occur 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.

7.2 Starting the engine when warm

(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20 min.)

1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2. Switch the On/Off switch to „I“.
3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as described in "Starting the engine when cold"). Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the starter cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The equipment should start after 1-2 tugs. If the equipment does not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 to 8 of the procedure for starting the engine when cold.

GB

7.3 Switching off the engine

Emergency Stop procedure:

If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0"

Normal procedure:

Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0".

7.4 Practical tips

Practice all operating techniques with the engine switched off before you start to use the equipment.

8. Working with the petrol power scythe

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 cutting line, run the engine at full speed and tap the line spool on the ground. This will automatically extend the line. The blade on the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate length (Fig. 26).

Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 27) and prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like.

Different cutting methods

When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in places which are difficult 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 prepared or a certain area cleared down to the soil.

Please note: Even if it is used carefully, cutting around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will result in the line suffering 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. 28).

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 towards 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 injury to the user, watchers and animals, and the danger of damaging property due to objects (for example stones) being thrown up (Fig. 29).

Warning! Do not use the equipment to remove objects from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a powerful 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.

Sawing

The equipment is not suitable for sawing.

GB

Jamming

If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment before you restart it.

Preventing recoil

When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, branches, 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. For cutting dense stalks, position the blade as shown in Fig. 30 to prevent recoil.

9. Maintenance

Always switch off the equipment and pull out the spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance work.

9.1 Replacing the line spool/cutting line

1. Dismantle the line spool (16) as described in section 5.1.7. Press in the side lugs slightly while simultaneously pressing the spool down and turning it clockwise (Fig. 12a). Remove one half of the housing.
2. Take the line spool out of the line spool housing (Fig. 12c).
3. Remove any remaining cutting line.
4. Place the new cutting line in the center and attach the resulting loop to the recess in the spool splitter (Fig. 12d).
5. Wind the line on to the spool counter-clockwise with tension. The spool splitter will separate the two halves of the nylon line (Fig. 12e).
6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line to the line holders opposite the line spool (Fig. 12f).
7. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing (Fig. 12c).
8. Press the line spool into the line spool housing.
9. Pull the two line ends briefly and powerfully to release them from the line holders in the line spool.

10. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This will reduce the load on the engine when starting up and warming up.

11. Fit the line spool again. See section 5.1.7. If you are replacing the complete line spool, ignore points 3-6.

9.2 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 flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction only.

9.3 Maintenance of the air fi Iter

Soiledairfi Iters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are therefore essential. The air fi liter (32) should be checked after every 25 hours of use and cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air fi liter should be checked more frequently.

1. Remove the air fi Iter cover (Fig. 10a).

2. Remove the filter element (Fig. 10b).

3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing it.

4. Assemble in reverse order.

Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or infl ammable solvents.

9.4 Maintenance of the spark plug

Spark plug sparking gap = 0.6mm. Tighten the spark plug with a torque of 12 to 15 Nm. Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

1. Pull off the spark plug boot by twisting.
2. Remove the spark plug (Abb. 11) with the supplied spark plug wrench (27).
3. Assemble in reverse order.

9.5 Carburetor settings

Important. Settings on the carburetor may only be made by authorized customer service personnel. The air filter cover must be removed before any work on the carburetor, as shown in Figures 10a and 10b.

GB

Setting the throttle cable:

If the maximum speed of the machine falls over time and you have ruled out all the other causes listed in section 12 Troubleshooting, it may be necessary to adjust the throttle cable.

First of all check whether the carburetor opens fully when the throttle handle is pressed fully. This is the case if the carburetor slide F rests against the stop (Fig. 13a) when the throttle is fully open. Figure 13a shows the correct setting. If the carburetor slide does not touch the stop, it must be adjusted.

The following steps are required to adjust the throttle cable:

• Undo the lock nut (Fig. 13b/Item C) a few turns.
• Undo the adjusting screw (Fig. 13b/Item D) until the carburetor slide F rests against the stop when the throttle is fully open, as shown in Fig 13.
  • Retighten the lock nut.

9.6 Setting the idling speed

Important. Set the idling speed when the equipment is warm.

If the engine stalls when the throttle is not pressed and you have ruled out all the other causes listed in section 11 Troubleshooting, the idling speed must be adjusted. To do this turn the idling speed screw (Fig. 13b/Item E) clockwise until the equipment runs smoothly at idling speed. If the idling speed is so fast that the cutting tool turns as well, it has to be reduced by turning the idling speed screw for as long as is required for the cutting tool to stop turning as well.

10. Cleaning, storage, transport and ordering of spare parts

10.1 Cleaning

• Keep the handles free of oil so that you can maintain a firm grip.
• Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.

Important!

Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before carrying out any cleaning. Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.

Store the equipment in a safe and dry place out of the reach of children.

10.2 Storage

Important: Never put the equipment into storage for longer than 30 days without carrying out the following steps.

Storing the equipment

If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30 days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly. Otherwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can cause problems when starting up the equipment and may require expensive repairs.

1. Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pressure that may have formed in the tank. Carefully empty the tank.
2. To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine and let it run until it stops.
3. Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Remove the spark plug (see section 9.4).
5. Add one teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into the combustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter cord several times to apply a layer of oil to all internal components. Fit the spark plug again.

Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and far away from possible ignition sources such as an oven, a gas-fired hot water boiler, a gas-fired dryer, etc.

GB

Putting the equipment back into operation

1. Remove the spark plug (see section 9.4).
2. Quickly tug on the starter cord to remove excess oil from the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap is correct, or insert a new spark plug with the correct electrode gap.
4. Prepare the equipment for operation.
5. Fill the tank with the relevant mixture of fuel and oil. See the section „Fuel and oil“.

10.3 Transport
