8. Before commissioning

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

Fill the hedge trimmer as described under "Refuelling".

Refuelling

• The device is operated with a mixture of normal petrol (unleaded) and two-stroke motor oil.
  Pay extra attention when handling petrol.
  Smoking and naked flames are not permitted (risk of explosion).

Petrol:

Octane rating of at least 91 ROZ, unleaded

• Do not fill with leaded, diesel or other non-permissible fuels.
• Do not use petrol with an octane rating of less than 91 ROZ. This can result in severe damage to the motor due to increased motor temperatures.
• If working continuously in the high speed range, petrol with a higher octane rating should be used.
• The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for environmental reasons.

Two-stroke motor oil:

In accordance to the specification JASO FC or ISO EGD

Do not use

• four-stroke oil or two-stroke for water-cooled outboard motors.
• a premixture from petrol stations.

Mixing

Mixing ratio 40:1

Petrol two-stroke motor oil 2.5% (40:1)

1 litres 0.025 litres

2 litres 0.05 litres

5 litres 0.125 litres

10 litres 0.25 litres

• Ensure that the oil quantity measurements are precise as with low amounts of fuel a slight deviation in the oil quantity can have strong effects on the mixing ratio.
• Do not change the mixing ratio as this increases combustion residues, increases fuel consumption and reduces performance, or damages the motor.

Mix the petrol and oil in a clean container approved and labelled for petrol. Use a fuel container with overfill protection.

1. First, fill with half of the petrol required for the mixture.
2. Then fill with the entire amount of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Fill with the rest of the petrol.

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!

Refuelling the hedge trimmer

• Switch off the engine and allow it to cool!
• Wear protective gloves!

• Avoid skin and eye contact!
  • Always observe, "Safe use of fuel".

• Only refuel the hedge trimmer outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated rooms.

• Clean the area surrounding the filling area. Impurities in the tank lead to operational faults.

• Shake the container with the fuel mixture again before filling it into the tank.

• Carefully open the fuel cap (12) so that any possible overpressure can be relieved.

• Carefully fill the petrol mixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck.

• Close the fuel cap again. Ensure that the fuel cap is tightly sealed.

• Clean the fuel cap and the surroundings.
• Check the tank and fuel lines for leaks.
• Press the fuel pump (11) if necessary.
• Move at least three meters away from the refueling area before starting the engine.

10.1 General behaviour when working with the hedge trimmer

• Do not work alone. Someone should be within reach for emergencies.
• Keep children, persons and animals away from your work area (at least 15 m).
• Do not work on snow, ice or other slippery surfaces, risk of slipping.

- Do not work when the light conditions are insufficient (e.g. fog, rain, driving snow or twilight).

- Shoo animals away from the hedge before cutting so they are not injured.

- Make sure that you have a safe and tidy workplace. Remove objects which could be ejected from the work area.

- Avoid abnormal posture. Keep your balance at all times. Do not work with your upper body bent over.

- Only operate the petrol hedge trimmer with firm footing.

- Switch the petrol hedge trimmer off when changing location.

- Keep hands and feet away from the cutting device if it is moving.

- Hold the petrol hedge trimmer so that no exhaust gases can be breathed in. Do not work in enclosed spaces.

- 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 petrol 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.

10.2 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.

10.3 Working with the hedge trimmer

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

- The maximum cutting diameter depends on the type of wood, the age, the moisture content and the hardness of the wood.

- Therefore, shorten very thick branches to the appropriate length with pruning shears 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 hedge in a trapezoidal shape. This prevents the lower hedge area from becoming bare due to insufficient light.

- If you want to trim the top edge of the hedge evenly, stretch a guideline across the length of the hedge.

- Prune in several passes if heavy pruning is necessary.

10.4 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.

11. 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)

Do not carry out maintenance work in the vicinity of naked flames. Fire hazard!

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

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

Only use original parts. Other parts may cause unforeseeable damage and injuries.

Wear gloves in order to prevent potential injuries. In order to ensure reliable use of the hedge trimmer for a long time, carry out the following maintenance work on a regular basis.

Check the hedge trimmer for obvious defects such as

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

Counter clockwise

- Idle speed decreases (-)

Contact the manufacturer if the cutting device still continues to run with the engine at idle.

Do not work with the hedge trimmer again under any circumstances!

Cleaning or replacing the air filter (Fig. 6)

Clean the air filter of dust and dirt regularly to avoid

• starting difficulties,
• performance losses,
• too much fuel consumption.

Clean the air filter approx. every 8 operating hours, more often in particularly dusty conditions.

1. Set the start lever (choke) (4) to "Cold start" so that no particles of dirt get into the carburettor.
2. Remove the air filter cover (8).
3. Remove the air filter (D) from the foam.
4. Wash the air filter 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 to dry and reinsert it again.
7. Attach the air filter cover again.

Replace the air filter regularly.

Damaged air filters must be replaced immediately.

Clean or replace the fuel filter

Check the fuel filter (E) if necessary. A contaminated fuel filter hinders the fuel supply.

Open the tank cover (12) and pull the fuel filter through the opening using a wire hook.

• Light contamination
- Remove the fuel filter from the fuel line and clean the filter in cleaning solvent
- Heavy contamination
- Replace the fuel filter

Clean or replace the spark plug

(Fig. 2, 7)

Do not touch the spark plug (F) or the spark plug connector (16) while the motor is running. High voltage! Danger of burning if motor is hot. Wear protective gloves!

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

Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
2. Unscrew the spark plug with the supplied spark plug wrench.

The electrode gap must be 0.6 to 0.7 mm.

Clean the spark plug if it is contaminated.

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.

Checking the ignition spark (Fig. 2, 7)

1. Remove the spark plug connector from the spark plug.
2. Unscrew the spark plug with the supplied spark plug wrench.
3. Unscrew the spark plug.
4. Insert the spark plug connector firmly.
5. Push the spark plug against the motor housing using insulated tongs (not in the vicinity of the plug hole).
6. Slide the on/off switch to the on "l" position.
7. Pull the start cable firmly by the starter handle. A spark must be visible between the electrodes when functioning properly.

Silencer / outlet opening (Fig. 3)

Do not retighten the silencer screws if the motor is still hot.

1. Regularly check whether the screws (G) of the silencer (H) have come loose or not. If they are loose, tighten them hand-tight.
2. Clean the outlet opening (K) regularly.
