Description of functions

The hand-held and portable petrol scythe is powered by a combustion engine that runs continuously during operation. The power is transmitted via a clutch disc, which uses a high-revolution centrifugal clutch to transfer the engine output to the cutting unit.

As a cutting device, the scythe has a dual-line spool which is equipped with an auto-tap feed. During the cutting process, two plastic lines rotate around an axis vertical to the cutting plane.

As an alternative to the dual-line spool, the 3-blade steel blade or the 22-tooth clearing blade can be fitted.

General safety instructions

Access by children as well as sick and frail people is to be prevented. Children must be carefully supervised when in the vicinity of machinery. Observe the regional and local accident prevention regulations applicable to your location. The same applies to all provisions on occupational health and safety at work.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable if its machines are modified without authorisation and if such changes result in damage to people or property.

WARNING! Basic precautionary measures are to always be taken when using machines. Please also observe all tips and notices in the additional safety instructions.

1. Pay attention to the environmental conditions in which you are working. The engine produces toxic exhaust fumes as soon as it is running. These gases can be odourless and invisible. You must therefore never work with the device in closed or poorly ventilated rooms. Ensure that there is sufficient lighting during the work. Make sure you have a secure footing in wet conditions, snow, ice, on slopes and on uneven terrain.

2. Do not let third parties access the device. Visitors and observers, especially children and sick and frail people must be kept away from the work area. Prevent other people from coming into con

tact with the tools. Only pass the device on to people who are familiar with the device and its handling.

1. Ensure tools are stored securely. Tools that are not in use must be stored in a dry, preferably high location, or locked away out of access.

2. Always use the right tool for every job. For example, do not use small tools or accessories for work that actually has to be done with heavy-duty tools. Use tools only for the purposes for which they were designed.

3. Ensure you wear suitable clothing. The clothing must be fit for purpose and must not hinder you when you are working. Wear clothing with cut resistant inserts.

4. Use personal protective equipment. Wear safety shoes with steel toecaps/steel soles and nonslip soles. Wear a safety helmet if the work entails a risk of falling objects.

5. Wear safety goggles. Objects may be thrown towards you. This may result in severe eye injuries.

6. Wear ear protection. Wear personal hearing protection, e.g. ear plug.

7. Hand protection Wear sturdy gloves - leather gloves provide good protection.

8. Operating the device Never work without the appropriate protective cover. Risk of injury due to ejected objects.

9. Remove all socket wrenches etc. All wrenches/keys and similar must be removed before switching on the device.

10. Always remain attentive. Pay attention to what you are do

ing. Use common sense. Do not use any motorised tools when you are tired. You may not operate the device under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs that impair your ability to react.

13. Filling up with fuel

• Always comply with the applicable fire protection regulations and the relevant state/federal regulations on fire prevention.
• Fuel and fuel vapours are very inflammable. Do not fill with fuel when the engine is running or still hot. Make sure there is good ventilation when filling with fuel. Smoking and open fires are prohibited.
• Always switch off the engine before filling. Always open the fuel filler cap carefully so that any excess pressure can be released slowly and no fuel sprays out. Working with the device generates high temperatures on the housing. Therefore, allow the device to cool down before filling. Otherwise the fuel could ignite and cause serious burns.
• When filling with fuel, make sure that you do not overfill. If liquid is spilt, remove it immediately and clean the device.
  After filling, ensure that the screw plug is securely fastened to prevent loosening due to the vibrations generated during work.
• Watch out for leaks. If fuel is leaking, do not start the engine. Danger to life due to burns!

14. Duration of use and breaks

Prolonged use of the device can lead to blood circulation disorders in the hands caused by vibration (Raynaud's syndrome). However,

you can extend the duration of use by wearing suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Please ensure that if you are susceptible to poor circulation, low outside temperatures or strong gripping forces while working, this may reduce the length of time for which you are able to work.

15.Look out for damaged parts. If the device suffers a heavy impact or is dropped, check it for signs of damage and wear before putting it back into operation. Are individual parts damaged? In the case of slight damage, carefully reflect on whether the tool will still work properly and safely. Ensure moving parts are correctly aligned and set up. Are the parts interlocking properly? Are parts damaged? Is everything correctly installed? Are all other requirements for proper functioning met? Damaged safety equipment etc. must be properly repaired or replaced by authorised persons, unless otherwise indicated in the instruction manual. Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised entity. If repairs are need, contact a customer service centre authorised by us.
