- Do not use the petrol hedge trimmer to lift or shovel away pieces of wood or other objects.

- Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the hedges (e.g. wire), since they may damage the cutting device of the petrol hedge trimmer.

- Always hold the petrol hedge trimmer tightly with both hands, left hand on the front handle and the right hand on the rear handle. Never work with only one hand.

- If the throttle is released, the cutting device continues to run for a short time (freewheel effect).

- Start cutting with the cutting device running.

- Never touch the cutting device with your hands during operation.

- Never work

• with your arms stretched
• in hard to reach places

• leaning too far forward

• Never work with the petrol hedge trimmer above shoulder height.

• Never touch wire fences or the floor with the running cutting device.

• Switch the motor off and pull out the spark plug

• If there are any noticeable changes in the behaviour of the device

• To eliminate jammed material to be cut
• To check the cutting device if you hit any stones, nails, or other hard objects with it.
• To eliminate faults
• With breaks in work

• Before leaving the hedge trimmer

• Do not place the hedge trimmer which is hot directly onto dry grass or other flammable objects.
  • Before starting work, make sure that:

• There are no other persons or animals in the work area.

• An obstacle free path to the rear is available for you.
• The floor is free from all foreign bodies, brushwood and branches.
• You have firm footing.

If people with blood circulation disorders are exposed to vibrations too often, damage to the nervous system or blood vessels can occur.

7.2 You can reduce the vibrations:

• With strong, warm work gloves.
• Shortening the work time (take several long breaks).

See a doctor if your fingers swell up, you feel unwell or your fingers go numb.

7.3 Working with the hedge trimmer

Hold the petrol hedge trimmer at a safe distance away from your body with two hands.

• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type, age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• Thanks to the its double-sided blade, the petrol hedge trimmer can be moved forward and backward or from one side to the other swinging it back and forth.
• Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top edge.
• Cut the hedges from bottom to the top.
• Cut the hedges in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to insufficient light.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion of the hedge.

7.4 The right time to cut:

• Leaf hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
- fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May

Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.

Always observe all safety instructions.

7.5 Behaviour in case of malfunctions or accidents

In case of malfunctions or accidents, stop the petrol hedge trimmer immediately with the on/off button (6).

• If possible, keep the packaging until the expiry of the warranty period.

ATTENTION

The device and the packaging are not children's toys! Do not let children play with plastic bags, films or small parts! There is a danger of choking or suffocating!

• Familiarise yourself with the product by means of the operating instructions before using for the first time.
• With accessories as well as wearing parts and replacement parts use only original parts. Replacement parts can be obtained from your dealer.
• When ordering please provide our article number as well as type and year of manufacture for your equipment.

The petrol hedge trimmer is not filled with the fuel mixture when delivered.

The device is operated with a mixture of petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke motor oil.

Pay extra attention when handling petrol. Smoking and naked flames are not permitted (risk of explosion).

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.
- Tight fit of all screw connections.
- Smooth running of all moving parts.

Fuel and oil

• 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.
• Do not use E10 fuel.

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 insufficient 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 into the enclosed oil-petrol mixing bottle (A). Then shake the vessel 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 operation. Put unused fuel in an airtight vessel and store it in a dark, cool room.

Fuel mixing table

Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil

Example:

1 | petrol: 0.025 | 2-stroke oil

5 | petrol: 0.125 | 2-stroke oil

Warning! Pay attention to the exhaust gases.

Always switch off the engine before refuelling.

Never add petrol to the device while the engine is running or it is hot. There is a risk of fire!

Only fuel the unit outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms. Make sure that no fuel gets into the soil (environmental protection). Use a suitable surface. Only use bio chain oil.

Fuels only have a limited shelf life as they age. Expired fuels and fuel mixtures can result in start problems. Therefore only mix as much fuel as required for one months use. Only store fuels in approved and labelled containers. Store the fuel container in a dry and safe place.

Make sure that the fuel container cannot be reached by children when stored.

Attention! Before commissioning, find out how to take the device out of operation in an emergency!

9.1 Refuelling the petrol hedge trimmer

11. Working instructions

11.1 Working with the hedge trimmer

- The hedge trimmer is suitable for cutting hedges, bushes and shrubs.

- Hold the hedge trimmer at a safe distance away from your body with two hands.

- The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood's type, age, moisture and hardness.

- Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to your desired length before trimming the hedge.

- Thanks to the its double-sided cutting unit, the hedge trimmer can be moved forward and backward or from one side to the other swinging it back and forth.

- Cut the sides of the hedges first and then the top edge.

- Cut hedges from bottom to the top.

- Cut the hedges in trapezium shape. This prevents the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to insufficient light.

- Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.

- Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion of the hedge.

- Make sure to remove any foreign objects from the hedges (e.g. wire), since they may damage the blade of the hedge trimmer.

- Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop the blades with your hand.

The right time to cut:

• Leaf hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
- Fast growing hedge: around every 6 weeks from May

Pay attention to nesting birds in the hedge. Delay the hedge cut or leave this area out if this is the case.

12. Transport

To transport the device, switch the engine off, wait until the cutting device has come to a standstill and attach the blade guard (E) (Fig. 4).

Carry the device by the front handle (3). Hold the cutting device (1) backwards and keep the hot silencer (13) away from your body.

Only transport the device in the boot of the car or on a separate transport surface.

Secure the petrol hedge trimmer against tipping, damage and from fuel leaking.

13. Cleaning and maintenance

Before any maintenance and cleaning work

• Shut off engine
• Wait until the cutting device is at a standstill
• Remove the spark plug connector (except for idling adjustments)
• Leave the device to cool down

Note

The device should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Only carry out cleaning and maintenance work to the extent specified in this operating manual.

Further maintenance and cleaning work, as described in this chapter, may only be carried out by customer service.

Do not carry out maintenance work in the vicinity of naked flames. Risk of fire!

Safety devices removed for maintenance and cleaning must always be properly reattached and checked.

Only use original parts. Other parts can lead to unpredictable damage and injuries.

Wear gloves in order to prevent potential injuries.

In order to ensure reliable use of the petrol hedge trimmer for a long time, carry out the following maintenance work on a regular basis.

Check the petrol hedge trimmer for obvious defects such as

• loose fastenings
• worn or damaged components
• bent, broken or damaged cutting device
  • Tank plug and fuel lines for leaks

Check the petrol hedge trimmer after every use

• Wear, especially sliding clearance of the cutting device.
• Covers or protective devices correctly mounted and intact.

Necessary repairs or maintenance work is carried out before using the petrol hedge trimmer.

13.1 Lubricating the transmission (Fig. 5)

Lubricate the drive every 10 to 20 operating hours.

1. Using the 4 mm Allen key (C) supplied, open the screw of the lubrication hole (18) on the underside of the hedge trimmer.
2. Place the grease gun on the lubrication hole (18).
3. Squeeze some grease into it.
4. Screw the screw of the lubrication hole (18) back in.

Attention! Top up with only a little grease. Under no circumstances overfill.

13.2 Setting the idle speed

If the cutting device (1) moves at idle or the engine stops by itself when the throttle is released, a carburettor adjustment must be made.

Note:

Have carburettor adjustments (e.g. idle speed) carried out only by qualified specialists to avoid engine damage.

13.3 Cleaning or replacing the air filter (Fig. 6)

Fouled air filters diminish the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Dust and pollen clog the pores of the foam insert. Regular inspection is therefore essential.

Clean the air filter (17) approx. every 15 operating hours, more often in particularly dusty conditions.

1. Set the cold start lever (choke) (4) to "Cold start" so that no particles of dirt get into the carburettor.
2. Remove the air filter cover (16). To do this, loosen the wing screw (15).
3. Remove the air filter (17) from the foam.
4. Wash the air filter (17) in lukewarm soapy water. Do not blow out the particles of dirt, there is a danger of eye injuries!
5. Clean the inside of the air filter with a brush.
6. Allow the air filter (17) to dry and reinsert it again.
7. Attach the air filter cover (16) again.

Attention:

Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable cleaning agents.

In order to prolong the service life of the engine, a damaged air filter must be replaced immediately.

⚠ Warning!

Never leave the engine running if the air filter element is not inserted.

13.4 Clean or replace the fuel filter

Check the fuel filter if necessary. A contaminated fuel filter hinders the fuel supply.

Open the tank cover (11) and pull the fuel filter through the opening using a wire hook (not included in the scope of delivery).

• In the event of light contamination:
- Remove the fuel filter from the fuel line and clean the filter in cleaning solvent.

• In the event of heavy contamination:

- Replace the fuel filter.

1. To remove the fuel filter from the fuel line, squeeze the hose clamp and slide it down.
2. Now the fuel filter can be removed from the fuel line.

13.5 Check, clean or replace spark plug (Fig. 7/8) Attention

Do not touch the spark plug (14.1) or the spark plug connector (14) while the engine is running. High voltage!

Danger of burning if motor is hot. Wear safety gloves!

Check the spark plug and the gap of the electrodes regularly.

13.5.1 Checking the spark plug

1. Remove the spark plug connector (14) from the spark plug (14.1).
2. Unscrew the spark plug (14.1) with the supplied spark plug wrench (B).
3. Check the electrode gap. This must be 0.6 to 0.7mm.

13.5.2 Cleaning the spark plug

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 operating hours and if necessary, clean it with a copper wire brush.

Then service the spark plug every 50 operating hours.

Replace the spark plug:

• Once a month in the event of regularly use
• If the insulating body is damaged
  • In the event of heavy electrode erosion
  • In the event of heavily contaminated or oily electrodes
