Do not allow others to use this Device unless they have been fully instructed and have read and understood the user manual.

Prolonged use of the device exposes the user to shocks that can lead to white finger disease (Raynaud's syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the hand's ability to sense and regulate temperature,

causes numbness and heat sensations, and can lead to nerve and circulatory damage and tissue death.

Not all factors leading to white finger disease are known. Still, cold weather, smoking, and other conditions affecting the blood vessels and blood circulation, as well as extensive or prolonged exposure to shocks, are mentioned as factors in the development of white finger disease. To reduce the risk of white finger disease and carpal tunnel syndrome, please note the following

• Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
  • Take regular breaks.

All the above precautions cannot eliminate the risk of white finger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are, therefore, advised to monitor the condition of their hands and fingers closely. Consult a doctor immediately if any of the above symptoms occur.

The operating noise of the tool may damage your hearing. Wear a sound-proofing (Oropax or ear muffs) to protect it. Long-term and regular users are recommended to check their hearing regularly. Be especially vigilant and careful when wearing hearing protection, as it limits your ability to hear warnings (cries, alarms, etc.).

WARNING: Some noise exposure from this device is unavoidable. Do not work in noisy environments during approved and designated times. If necessary, observe rest periods and limit the duration of work to the minimum required. Wear suitable hearing protection for your personal protection and the protection of persons in the vicinity.

24. Hints for accessories

• Make sure that your product is only equipped with original accessories. Only use the original parts that the manufacturer specifies. The use of any other accessories or attachments may cause injury to the user and damage to the device.
• Clean the device thoroughly, especially the fuel tank and air filter. After using the device, remove all fuel.
• If you approach a user of the device as a spectator, carefully attract his attention and confirm that the user will stop the device. Please do not startle or distract the user. Otherwise, you could cause an unsafe situation.
• Never touch the nylon cutting head or metal blade when the device is running. If it is necessary to replace the guard or cutting tool, be sure that the engine and cutting tools have stopped.
• The engine must be OFF before you change the device's working range.
• If necessary, have the device repaired by an authorized workshop. If the device is defective, do not continue to run it.
• Never touch hot parts such as the exhaust, ignition cables, or spark plug when starting or operating the device.
• After the device has stopped, the exhaust pipe is still hot. Never place the device near inflammable materials (dry grass, flammable gases or liquids, etc.).
• Pay particular attention to the fact that the ground can be slippery when operating the device in or immediately after the rain.
• If you slip or fall to the ground, release the throttle immediately.
• Before removing the blockage, stop the device and remove the spark plug connector. Before adjusting or repairing the device, ensure the device is stopped and the spark plug socket is removed.
• Ensure that you do not drop the device or hit it against obstacles.
• If the device is to be stored for a more extended period, let the device cool down first. Then drain the fuel from the fuel tank and carburettor, clean the device and place it in a safe place.
• Carry out constant checks to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the device. For a complete inspection, please get in touch with us.
• Keep the device away from fire or sparks.
• Be careful when using the device. There is a risk of kick-back and recoil.
• Use extreme caution when using this device with the cutting blade. A cutting blade kick-back is a reaction that can occur when the rotating cutting blade hits an object that cannot be cut. This contact causes the cutting blade to stop for a moment and then suddenly repels from the hit object with accelerated force. This kick-back reaction can be

severe enough that the operator loses control of the device. A cutter blade kick-back can occur without warning if the cutter blade encounters an obstacle that becomes blocked or jams. This is more likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For easy and safe cutting, approach the weeds to be cut from your right to your left side. If an object or stick of wood is hit unexpectedly, this can reduce a cutter blade kick-back.

25. Notes on working with the metal blade

A metal blade with 3 teeth is delivered with the device. It is used for cutting bushes and weeds. The use of a saw blade with this device is prohibited.

WARNING

Do not cut with blunt, cracked or damaged metal sheets.

Before working, check the surface for obstacles such as stones, metal bars or other objects. If they cannot be removed,

mark this position to avoid collision with the

blade. Lines can become entangled on the blade head and flap or be swirled in the air.

WARNING

Do not use the motor scythe for cutting out trees.

WARNING

Always use the shoulder strap. Adjust and fix the belt and belt clamping plate on the device so that the device hangs a few cm above

the ground. The cut-out head and the protective shield should be aligned

horizontally in all directions. Pre-tension the devices on the right side of your body.

WARNING

Also, wear head, eye, face and hearing protection and safety shoes. Do not wear rings, jewellery or

loose, dangling clothes that could get caught in the device.

Do not wear footwear with unprotected toes, and do not work barefoot or without leg protection. In certain situations, you must wear head protection.

FUEL AND 2-STROKE OIL

Use unleaded petrol with 2-stroke engine oil in a 40:1 ratio.

WARNING: Never use just fuel in your engine. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer's warranty for this product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for more than 90 days.

WARNING: This must be a premium grade, 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil.

FUEL MIXTURE

Mix fuel with 2-stroke oil in a container provided for this purpose. Note the following mixture table on the following page for the 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: Failure to lubricate the engine eliminates the liability of the device manufacturer.

Petrol and oil must be mixed in a ratio of 40:1.

Recommended fuel

It is recommended to use unleaded petrol with an octane number of 90 # or higher to reduce carbon deposition in the combustion chamber. Do not use old or dirty petrol. Keep the fuel tank dust-free and avoid water getting into the tank. Sometimes misfiring can occur in case of overload, which is normal.

If the backfiring can be heard under average load, we recommend replacing the petrol. If the misfire is still present afterwards, don't hesitate to contact our customer service.

WARNING

Fuel filler cap max filling level

• Petrol is highly flammable and can cause an explosion in case of sparks

• Refuel only in well-ventilated rooms and allow the engine to cool down before filling. Do not smoke during refuelling. Open fires and sparks must be avoided.

• Do not overfill the tank (see figure max. filling level).
  ● After refuelling, check that the fuel filler cap is closed correctly.

• Avoid any spillage of petrol.
• Keep the device away from children.

29. Starting the engine

Cold Start

CAUTION: The scythe head starts to rotate when the engine is started.

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline and tighten the cap.
2. Place the machine on a flat, firm surface. Keep the mower attachment off the ground and away from surrounding objects, as it will start to rotate when the engine is started.
3. Press the primer pump several times.

2. Hold the device and carefully pull out the starter rope until you feel the first resistance. This is the starting position for the pull starter. Now pull the rope several times until the engine starts and runs.

Avoid pulling the rope to the end or letting it recoil by releasing the handle. Such actions may cause the starter to fail.

IMPORTANT: The device is equipped with a centrifugal clutch so that the cutting tool starts moving as soon as the engine is put into the start position by operating the throttle. When starting the engine, place the product on the ground in a level, clear area and hold it firmly so that neither the cutting part nor the throttle lever can come into contact with any obstacle when starting the engine.

Diagram of a mechanical device with attached pipe and lever, showing ground level and upward arrows (no text or symbols)

1. Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes at idle after starting before starting work!

NOTE: If the machine does not start after repeated attempts, please read the troubleshooting chapter.

NOTE: Always pull the starter rope straight out. Pulling the starter at an angle will cause the rope to rub against the eyelet. The diagonal pull can cause the starter rope to fray or break. Always hold the starter handle when the rope retracts. Never allow the rope to be thrown back from the pulled-out position. This could damage the starter device.

Warm start of the engine

1. Place the device on a firm and flat surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF to 1.
3. Slide the choke to the "OPEN" position.
4. Pull out the starter rope with a short-stroke until resistance is felt (about 100mm). A continuous, mainly fast pull will provide a strong spark and start the engine.

If the engine does not start, please proceed again according to "Cold starting the engine."

30. Stopping the device

Unlock the throttle lever. Allow the device to return to idle. Press the engine stop switch on the handle (position 0) and wait until the machine stops. If it does not stop, disconnect the spark plug connector in an emergency. Never leave the device unattended while it is running.

31. Trimming techniques

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before running your device, read notes in chapters 3 and 4 of this manual.

CAUTION

IF YOU are NOT familiar with the trimming techniques, practice with the DEVICE in the "STOP" position (turned off).

ALWAYS TRIM OR CUT AT HIGH ENGINE SPEEDS. Never run the device slowly at the beginning of (or during) the trimming operation.

ALWAYS MAKE AWAY DISTANCE IN THE WORKING AREA from cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Whirling objects can cause serious injury to users or bystanders and damage the device. If an object is accidentally knocked, immediately stop the ENGINE and check the device. Never run the device with damaged or defective parts.

Never lift the nylon cutting head above knee height during operation. Never run the device on a slope if there is a chance of sliding or losing stability.

RELEASING THE NYLON THREAD

To release the new thread, run the engine at full throttle and tap the nylon cutting head onto the lawn. The threaded head automatically releases further threads. The blade in the protective shield cuts off the excess thread.

CAUTION: Remove grass deposits regularly to prevent overheating of the drive axle. Grass deposits occur when fibres of the weed are entangled around the shaft under the protective shield. This prevents the shaft from cooling correctly. Remove grass deposits with a screwdriver or similar tool only when the device is switched off.
