Frequently Asked Questions - BBC 52/1 Bavaria

How to start the engine when cold?

For a cold start, set the switch to I, press the primer bulb 10 times, close the choke (ON), lock the throttle, then pull the starter cord sharply 4 times. Once the engine starts, open the choke (OFF) and let it warm up for 3 seconds.

What fuel mixture to use?

Use a mixture of normal unleaded gasoline and special 2-stroke engine oil in the ratio 40:1 (40 parts gasoline to 1 part oil). For example, 1 liter of gasoline with 25 ml of oil. Do not store the mixture for more than 90 days.

How to replace the cutting line spool?

Remove the spool by locking the shaft with an Allen key and turning the spool clockwise. Remove the old spool, wind the new line counterclockwise following the divider, then hook the ends into the holders. Reassemble everything.

What safety precautions should be followed?

Always wear eye, hearing, head protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Maintain a distance of at least 15 m from other people. Do not work in the rain. Turn off the engine before any maintenance and remove the spark plug cap.

How to adjust the engine idle speed?

Adjustment should be done with the engine warm. Turn the idle speed screw (marked on the carburetor) to achieve a stable idle without the cutting tool moving. If the tool turns at idle, reduce the idle speed until it stops.

What to do if the engine does not start?

Check the starting procedure, the condition of the spark plug (fouled or wet), and the carburetor adjustment. If necessary, clean or replace the spark plug. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to maintain the air filter?

Check the air filter every 25 hours of operation. Remove the cover, take out the filter, and clean it by tapping or blowing. Never clean it with gasoline or a flammable solvent.

Can I use a blade instead of the line?

Yes, the device accepts a cutting blade (diameter 25.5 cm). To use it, replace the line spool with the blade following the mounting instructions. Remember to install the appropriate protective guard.

How to store the device for a long period?

Empty the fuel tank, start the engine to remove fuel from the carburetor, remove the spark plug and pour a teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into the cylinder, then pull the cord slowly. Store the device in a dry place out of reach of children.

What type of engine oil to use for the mixture?

Use a high-quality special 2-stroke engine oil. Strictly respect the mixing ratio 40:1. Never use oil requiring a 100:1 mixture, as this would damage the engine and void the warranty.

Important: Do not use a fuel mixture which has been stored for longer than 90 days.

Important: Never use 2-stroke oil with a recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. The manufacturer's warranty will be voided in case of engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.

Important: Only use containers designed and approved for the purpose to transport and store fuel. Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the bottle). Then shake the bottle well.

6.2 Fuel mixture table

Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil

Petrol 2-stroke oil
1 liter 25 ml
5 liters 125 ml

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 an adequate amount of petrol/oil mix. See „Fuel and oil“.

1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.

2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 14a/Item 39) 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 the throttle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11), and secure the throttle lever by pressing the lock (Fig. 1/Item 10) simultaneously.

5. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 6) to ON.

6. Hold the equipment securely 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. Once the engine has started, move the choke lever immediately to OFF and allow the equipment to warm up for approx. 3 seconds. Then release the throttle lever by simply actuating it (the engine then returns to running in idle mode).

1. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 4-6 above.

Please note: If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the Engine troubleshooting section.

Please note: Always pull out the starter cable in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the cable will become frayed and will wear faster. Always hold the starter handle when the cable retracts.

Never allow the cable to snap back when it has been pulled out.

GB

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 7 of the procedure for starting the engine when cold.

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. 11b).

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. 11c) 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. 11d).

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 ob-

GB

jects (for example stones) being thrown up (Fig. 11e).

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.

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. 9f 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 5.1.8. Press in the side lugs slightly while simultaneously pressing the spool down and turning it clockwise (Fig. 15a). Remove one half of the housing.
2. Take the line spool out of the line spool housing (Fig. 15c).
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. 15d)
5. Wind up the line counter-clockwise and under tension. The spool splitter will separate the two halves of the line (Fig. 15e)
6. Hook the last 15cm of the two ends of the

line onto the opposite lying line holders of the spool plate (Fig. 15f)

1. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing (Fig. 15c).
2. Press the line spool into the line spool housing.
3. Pull the two line ends sharply to release them from the line holders.
4. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This will reduce the load on the engine when starting and warming up.
5. Refi t the line spool (see section 5.1.8). If you are replacing the complete line spool, skip 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 supplying too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are therefore essential. The air fi liter (37) 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 must be checked more frequently.

1. Remove the air fi Iter cover (Fig. 12a/Item 36)
2. Remove the air fi Iter (Fig. 12b/Item 37)
3. Clean the air filter by tapping it or blowing it out.
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 out the spark plug connector (38).
2. Remove the spark plug (Fig. 39) with the supplied spark plug wrench (20).
3. Assemble in reverse order.

GB

9.5 Carburetor settings

Warning! Settings on the carburetor may only be made by authorized customer service personnel. The air fi liter cover must be removed before any work on the carburetor, as shown in Figures 12a and 12b.

Setting the throttle cable:

If the maximum speed of the equipment drops over time and you have ruled out all the other possible 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 right through. This is the case if the carburetor slide (Fig. 13a) is completely opened when the throttle is fully activated. Figure 13a shows the correct setting. If the carburetor slide is not completely open, it must be adjusted. The following steps are required to adjust the throttle cable:

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

9.6 Setting the idling speed

Warning! 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 possible causes listed in section 12 „Troubleshooting“, the idling speed must be adjusted. To do this turn the idling speed screw (Fig. 13a/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.

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".

GB

10.3 Transport

Dear Customer,

All of our products undergo strict quality checks to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that your device develops a fault, please contact our service department at the address shown on this guarantee card or the sales outlet from where you bought the device. Please note the following terms under which guarantee claims can be made:

1. These guarantee terms apply to consumers only, i.e. natural persons intending to use this product neither for their commercial activities nor for any other self-employed activities. These warranty terms regulate additional warranty services, which the manufacturer mentioned below promises to buyers of its new products in addition to their statutory rights of guarantee. Your statutory guarantee claims are not affected by this guarantee. Our guarantee is free of charge to you.
2. The warranty services cover only defects due to material or manufacturing faults on a product which you have bought from the manufacturer mentioned below and are limited to either the rectification of said defects on the product or the replacement of the product, whichever we prefer. Please note that our devices are not designed for use in commercial, trade or professional applications. A guarantee contract will not be created if the device has been used by commercial, trade or industrial business or has been exposed to similar stresses during the guarantee period.

3. The following are not covered by our guarantee:

4. Damage to the device caused by a failure to follow the assembly instructions or due to incorrect installation, a failure to follow the operating instructions (for example connecting it to an incorrect mains voltage or current type) or a failure to follow the maintenance and safety instructions or by exposing the device to abnormal environmental conditions or by lack of care and maintenance.

5. Damage to the device caused by abuse or incorrect use (for example overloading the device or the use or unapproved tools or accessories), ingress of foreign bodies into the device (such as sand, stones or dust, transport damage), the use of force or damage caused by external forces (for example by dropping it).
