Hinweis Schwingungsemissions-Wert: Der angegebene Schwingungsemissionswert ist nach einem genormten Prüfverfahren gemessen worden und kann zum Vergleich eines Werkzeugs mit einem anderen verwendet werden. Der angegebene Schwingungsemissionswert kann auch zu einer einleitenden Einschätzung der Aussetzung verwendet werden. Der Schwingungsemissionswert kann sich während der tatsächlichen Benutzung des Werkzeugs von dem Angabewert unterscheiden, abhängig von der Art und Weise, in der das Werkzeug verwendet wird.
Note Vibration emission value: The specified vibration emission value has been measured according to a standardized test procedure and can be used to compare one tool with another. The specified vibration emission value may also be used for an initial suspension assessment. The vibration emission value may differ from the declared value during actual use of the tool, depending on the manner in which the tool is used.
Priporočena vrednost emisije vibracij: Navedena vrednost emisije vibracij je izmerjena z normiranim postopkom preverjanja in se lahko uporablja za primerjavo enega orodja z drugim. Navedena vrednost emisije vibracij se lahko uporablja tudi za začetno oceno izpostavljenosti. Vrednost emisije vibracij se lahko pri dejanski uporabi stroja razlikuje od navedene vrednosti, kar je odvisno od vrste in načina uporabe stroja.
Aviso valor de emisiones de vibración: El valor de emisión de vibraciones especificado se ha medido con arreglo a un procedimiento de ensayo normalizado y se puede utilizar para comparar una herramienta con otra. El valor de emisión de vibraciones especificado se puede utilizar también para una evaluación preliminar de la suspensión. El valor de emisión de vibraciones puede diferir del valor indicado durante el uso real de la herramienta, dependiendo de la forma en la que se utilice esta.
Hinweis Geräuschangaben: Die angegebenen Werte sind Emissionswerte und müssen damit nicht zugleich auch sichere Arbeitsplatzwerte darstellen. Obwohl es eine Korrelation zwischen Emissions- und Immissionspegeln gibt, kann daraus nicht zuverlässig abgeleitet werden, ob zusätzliche Vorsichtsmaßnahmen notwendig sind oder nicht. Faktoren, welche den am Arbeitsplatz tatsächlich vorhandenen Immissionspegel beeinflussen, beinhalten die Eigenart des Arbeitsraumes und andere Geräuschquellen, d. h. die Zahl der Maschinen und anderer benachbarter Arbeitsvorgänge. Die zulässigen Arbeitsplatzwerte können ebenso von Land zu Land variieren. Diese Information soll jedoch den Anwender befähigen, eine bessere Abschätzung von Gefährdung und Risiko vorzunehmen.
Note noise emission: The values given are emission values and therefore do not have to represent safe workplace values at the same time. Although there is a correlation between emission and immission levels, it cannot be reliably deduced whether additional precautions are necessary or not. Factors influencing the actual immission level at the workplace include the nature of the workspace and other noise sources, i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent operations. The permissible workplace values may also vary from country to country. However, this information should enable the user to make a better assessment of hazard and risk.
Priporočena vrednost emisije hrupa: Navedene vrednosti so emisijske vrednosti in se jih zato ne smemo razumeti kot vrednosti, ki zagotavljajo varnost delovnega okolja. Četudi obstaja določena korelacija med emisijsko vrednostjo, na podlagi tega ne moremo z gotovstoj sprejeti odločitev o tem, ali so v posameznih primerih potrebni dodatni varnostni ukrepi all ne. Dejavnikl, kl lahko vplivajo na trenutni nivo imisije hrupa na delovnem mestu, so specifičnost delovnega prostora in drugi viri hrupa, t.j. število strojev ter drugih delovnih procesov, ki sočasno potekajo v delovnem prostoru. Dopuščene vrednosti emisije hrupa na delovnem mestu prav tako lahko variirajo od države do države. Te informacije so predvsem v pomoč uporabniku, da bi lažje ocenil tovrstno nevarnost in tveganje
Aviso sobre los valores de ruido: Los valores indicados son valores de emisión y, por lo tanto, no representan necesariamente al mismo tiempo valores seguros en el lugar de trabajo. Aunque hay una correlación entre los niveles de emisión y los de inmisión, no se puede deducir con certeza si es necesario adoptar medidas de precaución adicionales o no. Entre los factores que influyen en el nivel de inmisión real en el lugar de trabajo, se encuentran la naturaleza del espacio de trabajo y otras fuentes de ruido, es decir, el número de máquinas y otros procesos de trabajo adyacentes. Asimismo, los valores admisibles en el lugar de trabajo pueden variar de un país a otro. No obstante, esta información debe capacitar al usuario a evaluar mejor los peligros y los riesgos.

The machine is low-maintenance and only a few parts have to be serviced. Nevertheless, malfunctions or defects which could impair the safety of the user must be rectified immediately! If you are unable to carry out necessary maintenance work properly and/or do not have the required training, always consult a specialist workshop to get the problem fixed.

17.1 Maintenance schedule

The type and degree of machine wear depend to a large extent on the operating conditions. The following intervals apply when the machine is used within the specified limits:

Motor	Assembly group/component	What to do?	Before starting	After xx operating hours			Remark
				25	50	100
	Fuel leak	wipe up spilled fuel immediately	√
	Fuel tank, air filter, fuel filter	check and clean	√	√			replace if necessary
	Spark plug	cleaning and adjusting the spark plug head		√			Distance 0,6-0,7 mm
	Airfilter	clean		√			replace if necessary
Trimmer	Sword, blades	check and clean	√
	Gear box	check and lubricate			√		grease during and after use
	Bolts, screws, nuts	tighten, replace	√			√

17.2 Measures before Starting

• Remove leaves, branches and dirt from the machine.
• Check the machine for loose or missing parts.
• Fasten loose parts.
• Check the air filter for contamination.
• Check the machine for leaks in the fuel system.

17.3 Cleaning the Air Filter

A dirty air filter makes it difficult to start the engine and reduces the engine power.

Procedure:

1. Loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing, remove the cover and check that there is no dirt in the filter.
2. If necessary, clean the air filter in warm soapy water.
3. Allow the air filter to dry completely.
4. Then soak the air filter with 2-stroke engine oil.
5. Squeeze out excess oil.
6. Insert the oil-soaked filter.
7. Mount the air filter cover and tighten the wing nut.

Signs indicating a necessary air filter change:

• Engine power decreases, at the same time fuel consumption increases
• Oil consumption increases
• Starting the engine becomes more difficult

17.4 Lubricating the Gearbox

The gearbox is lubricated at the time of delivery of the machine, but must be relubricated at regular intervals (see maintenance schedule).

Lubrication is carried out via the lubrication nipple (1) on the side of the gearbox housing - see illustration on the left. Use a multi-purpose grease of class NLGI 2 or an equivalent product.

17.5 Setting the Idle Speed

First check that the air filter is clean, as it may affect the result.

If the idle speed is correct, the cutter blade should not move when the machine is idling.

Use the idle screw (X) to adjust. Turn in direction y: Increase speed, direction z: Decrease speed.

Procedure:

- Close the idle adjustment screw while the engine is running (turn counterclockwise) until the cutting tool begins to rotate.

If the idle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutter blade no longer moves, contact your dealer/service

centre and do not use the machine again until it has been properly adjusted or repaired.

17.6 Cleaning the Spark Plug

Remove the spark plug and clean it of soot and other impurities with a brush. Then check the distance between the contacts. It should be 0.6 to 0.7 mm (see illustration on the left), which is approximately the thickness of a credit card. Then reinstall the spark plug. For optimum performance, the spark plug should be replaced once a year. You will find the article number in the spare parts list.

18 STORAGE

DANGER

Observe all safety precautions for the safe storage and handling of petrol.

Company ZIPPER Maschinen GmbH grants for mechanical and electrical components a warranty period of 2 years for amateur use; and warranty period of 1 year for professional use, starting with the purchase of the final consumer. In case of defects during this period, which are not excluded by paragraph 3, ZIPPER will repair or replace the machine at its own discretion.

2.) Report:

In order to check the legitimacy of warranty claims, the final consumer must contact his dealer. The dealer has to report in written form the occurred defect to ZIPPER. If the warranty claim is legitimate, ZIPPER will pick up the defective machine from the dealer. Returned shippings by dealers which have not been coordinated with ZIPPER, will not be accepted and refused.

3.) Regulations:

a) Warranty claims will only be accepted, when a copy of the original invoice or cash voucher from the trading partner of ZIPPER is enclosed to the machine. The warranty claim expires if the accessories belonging to the machine are missing.
b) The warranty does not include free checking, maintenance, inspection or service works on the machine. Defects due to incorrect usage of the final consumer or his dealer will not be accepted as warranty claims either. Some examples: usage of wrong fuel, frost damages in water tanks, leaving fuel in the tank during the winter, etc.
c) Defects on wear parts are excluded, e.g. carbon brushes, collection bags, knives, cylinders, cutting blades, clutches, sealings, wheels, saw blades, splitting crosses, riving knives, riving knife extensions, hydraulic oils, oil/air/fuel filters, chains, spark plugs, sliding blocks, etc.
d) Also excluded are damages on the machine caused by incorrect or inappropriate usage, if it was used for a purpose which the machine is not supposed to, ignoring the user manual, force majeure, repairs or technical manipulations by not authorized workshops or by the customer himself, usage of non-original ZIPPER spare parts or accessories.
e) After inspection by our qualified personnel, resulted costs (like freight charges) and expenses for not legitimated warranty claims will be charged to the final customer or dealer.
f) In case of defective machines outside the warranty period, we will only repair after advance payment or dealer's invoice according to the cost estimate (incl. freight costs) of ZIPPER.
g) Warranty claims can only be granted for customers of an authorized ZIPPER dealer who directly purchased the machine from ZIPPER. These claims are not transferable in case of multiple sales of the machine.

4.) Claims for compensation and other liabilities:

The liability of company ZIPPER is limited to the value of goods in all cases. Claims for compensation because of poor performance, lacks, damages or loss of earnings due to defects during the warranty period will not be accepted. ZIPPER insists on its right to subsequent improvement of the machine.
