Oil and fuel recommendations

Recommended oil grade

Use quality oil only, API classification TC (TSC-3) which is offered for air-cooled two-stroke engines. Mix the oil for two-stroke engines according to the instructions on the container, 1:40 (2.5%).

Recommended petrol grade

Danger

Under certain conditions petrol is extremely flammable and explosive.

• Refuel only in a well ventilated area and with the engine switched off. Do not smoke and switch off all ignition sources in the vicinity of the tank or at the fuel storage depot.
• Do not overfill the petrol tank (there must be no fuel in the inlet nozzle). After filling up the petrol tank, ensure that the tank cap is closed and secured.
• When filling up the petrol tank, do not spill any fuel. Spilled fuel or petrol vapours may ignite. If fuel has been spilled, ensure that the area is dried before the engine is restarted.
• Prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact or inhalation of the vapours.

Always use clean, fresh lead-free petrol (maximum 60 days old).

Fill the tank with petrol.

Remove the tank cap.
Fill fuel tank. Never overfill!
Firmly close the petrol tank again.
- Move the unit approx. 10m from the filling station/fuel container before starting the engine.

See instructions on mixing oil and petrol

Age and/or incorrectly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not running properly. Use fresh,

clean, lead-free petrol only.
Follow exactly the instructions for the correct petrol/oil mixture.

Correctly mix two-stroke engine oil and lead-free petrol, 1:40 (2.5%). Do not mix directly in the tank.

Operating manual

Starting the engine

Note:

The engine uses Advanced Starting Technology™ (spring-supported starting process) which significantly reduces the energy expenditure required to start the engine.

You must pull out the starter rope until the engine starts by itself (spring-supported). It is not necessary to pull violently on the rope – the pulled rope does not resist greatly. Please note that this method of starting theengine is quite different (and much easier) from what you are used to.

• Mix petrol (gasoline) with oil. Fill the tank with the mixture. See instructions on mixing oil and petrol.
  Put the ignition switch in the START [I] position (Fig. 9).

i Tip:

If starting a unit which has not been used for a long time (or brand new or difficult to start), press the intake pump 20 times.

• Slowly and fully press the intake pump (7) 10 times. The fuel must be visible in the pump (Fig. 10). If this is not the case, press a further three times or until the fuel can be seen.

On appliances with a choke lever

• Move the choke lever to position 1 (Fig. 10).

• Place the unit on the ground, actuate the choke and hold down the lever. Pull the starter cord three times in a controlled, constant movement (Fig 11).

• Move the choke lever to position 2 (Fig. 10).
  To start the engine, pull the starter rope (8) in a controlled and continuous movement 1-5 times (Fig. 11).
  Press on the throttle to warm up the engine for 15-30 seconds.

Note

At lower temperatures the engine may require longer to warm up and reach maximum speed.

The unit has warmed up adequately when the engine accelerates without faltering.

• When the engine has warmed up, move the choke lever to position 3 (Fig. 10). The unit is now ready to use. If the engine falters, move the choke lever to position 2 (Fig. 10) and leave the engine to warm up longer.

If the engine does not start, repeat steps 3-7.

Notes:

• It is not necessary to use the choke to start a hot engine. Move the switch to the On [I] position and the choke lever to position 2.
• Move the choke lever to position 3 if the engine floods when attempting to start it. Press the throttle. Pull on the starter rope. The engine must start after 3 (three) to 8 (eight) attempts.

On appliances without a choke lever

Pull the starter rope in controlled and continuous movement, until the engine starts (Fig. 11).
NOTE: During the starting process do not actuate the throttle.
After starting the engine, wait 10-15 seconds before you actuate the throttle.

Notes

If the engine fails to start repeat the procedure.

Stop the engine

Take your hand off the throttle (1) (Fig. 9). Leave the idling engine to cool down.
- Move the ignition switch to the Stop (O) position (Fig. 9).

Hold the appliance

Before using the unit, place yourself in the operating position (Fig. 12).

Check the following:

The user is wearing eye protection and the correct clothing.
- Your right arm is bent slightly and your hand holds the shaft handle.
- Your left arm is straight and holds the D-shaped handle.
The unit is below waist height.
- Hold the cutting attachment parallel to the ground so that the vegetation to be cut can easily be reached without the user having to bend forward.

Toggling between trimmer and blower

Caution

Before toggling between trimmer and blower you must first stop the engine and wait until all moving parts have come to a stop.

Trimmer

To operate the appliance as a trimmer you must move the toggle to the top position before starting the appliance.

Blower

To operate the appliance as a blower you must move the toggle to the bottom position before starting the appliance.

Toggling

• Switch off the engine and wait until all moving parts have come to a stop.
  Press the red toggle lock (2) on the toggle (1) until the lock is released (Fig 14).
• Move the toggle to the respective position (top/bottom) until the red toggle lock engages correctly.

Starting the engine again.

Tips for best trim results

• Keep the cutting attachment parallel to the ground.
• Use only the tip of the line for cutting, especially along walls. If more than the tip is used for cutting, the cutting capacity is reduced and the engine may overload.
  Cut grass which is taller than 20 cm from the top down in small stages to prevent premature wear of the line and engine resistance.
  If possible, cut from left to right. Cutting to the right improves the cutting capacity of the unit. Grass clippings are then ejected by the user.
• Slowly move the lawn trimmer at the required height in and out of the cutting area. Walk either forwards and backwards or from side to side. Better results are achieved by cutting shorter pieces.
• Cut dry grass and weeds only. The service life of the cutting line depends on the following:
• Follow the previous cutting tips;
• for the vegetation which is to be cut;
• where it is cut.

For example, a line wears out more quickly if it is cutting against a house wall than around a tree.

Decorative cutting

You will receive a decorative cut if you cut all vegetation around trees, posts, fences, etc.

Rotate the whole unit until you are holding the cutting attachment at an angle of 30^ to the ground. (Fig. 13).

Tips on operating the blower

• Excessive noise can be avoided when the appliance is operated at the required speed.
• Use a rake or sweep to collect together loose leaves before using the blower.

In dusty conditions moisten the ground slightly. This helps to suppress excessive dust clouds when the appliance is operating.
- Keep an eye on persons, children, animals, open windows, etc., when using the blower.
After using the appliance collect and dispose of the collected leaves or other material.

Maintenance and repair

Installing the precut replacement cord

Use only original replacement cords with a diameter of 2.67mm that the manufacturer has approved. Cords with other specifications can cause the engine to overheat or damage the appliance.

• Introduce each end of the replacement cord into the holes next to the mounting hooks (Fig 15).
  Feed in the cord ends until they project out of the cord head on the left and right (Fig 16).
  Pull out both cord ends (Fig 17). The cord ends must have the same length on each side. If necessary push back the longer and pull out the shorter end to make up for the difference.
• Press the trimming cord behind the mounting hook to secure this (Fig 18).

Servicing the air filter

Remove the air filter/muffler cover

• Set the choke lever (if provided) to the half choke position (2).

Note

The choke lever must be in the half choke position (2) before the air filter/muffler cover can be removed (Fig. 19).

• Remove the four (4) screws which secure the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 19). Use a flat screwdriver or T20 Torx screwdriver bit.
  Pull the cover off the engine.

Cleaning the air filter

After every ten operating hours clean and oil the air filter. This is an important part of maintenance. If the air filter is not serviced, the warranty will be deemed NULL AND VOID.

• Remove the air filter/muffler cover. See Removing the air filter/ muffler cover.
• Remove the air filter behind the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 20).
• Wash the filter with water and detergent (Fig. 21). Flush out the filter thoroughly. Press out excess water. Leave filter to dry completely.
  Lightly lubricate the filter with clean oil (Fig. 22).
  Press out the filter to distribute the oil and remove excess oil (Fig. 23).
• Reinstall the air filter in the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 20).

Note

If the unit is used without the air filter and air filter/muffler cover, the warranty will be deemed NULL AND VOID.

Installing the air filter/muffler cover

• Place the air filter/muffler cover over the rear part of the carburettor and muffler.

Note

The choke lever must be at HALFWAY (2) before the air filter/silencer cover can be installed (Fig 19).

• Insert the four (4) screws into the holes of the air filter/muffler cover (Fig. 19) and tighten. Use a flat screwdriver or T20 Torx screwdriver bit. Do not tighten too tightly.

Adjust carburettor

The idle speed can be set with the screw (Fig. 24). Have this setting carried out by a specialist company only.

Check/replace spark plug

Use a Champion RDJ7Y spark plug (or an equivalent spark plug). The correct electrode gap is 0.63 mm . Every 50 operating hours take out the spark plug and check its condition.

• Stop the engine and leave it to cool down.
  Remove spark-plug terminal.
• Remove dirt from around the spark plug.
• Unscrew spark plug to the left with a spark plug wrench.
• Check/set the electrode gap 0.63 mm (Fig. 25).

Note

Replace a damaged, sooted or dirty spark plug.
