Fasten the drive shaft to the engine housing with the help of 4 screws, tighten thoroughly.

Handle assembly (see Figs. 3, 4, 5)

Unscrew screws (2), put the handle bars to the grip holder (1), select the position according
to your working style (right-handed – the switch on the right side when viewing from the
engine). Pre-screw the upper parts of the grip holder (4 screws) (2), adjust the position of the
handle bars and tighten the screws (2) thoroughly.

Gearbox parts (see Figs. 6, 7)

Unscrew the locking bolt, mount the cutting tool respectively (see Fig. 6): Gearbox (1) –
Cutting head carrier (2) – Cutting blade (3) – Cover (4) – Fixing nut (5). Insert a screwdriver
to align the gearbox body groove with a hole of the cutting head carrier.Tighten the nut with
the aid of the tubular spanner (6) delivered within the packaging.

Note: Instead of the cutting blade, you can wind the head with the cord on the screw of the

carrier.

Mount the safety cover (3) on the shaft rod with the help of a clamp (2) and screws (1). Be
particular about the proper position (see Fig. 7

Cord replacement (see Figs. 13, 14, 15, 16)

Demount the cord head, take-out the coil with the cord and remove the rest of the cord.
Pull a new cord of the total length c. 2 m through both openings in the inner part of the cord
head (see Fig. 14) so that both ends are of the same length (see Fig. 13).
Wind both ends onto the coil in the direction of the WIND CORD marked arrow (see Fig. 15).

Putting into operation

5. PUTTING INTO OPERATION

Before starting

Adjust the shoulder strap length and handle position so that you feel comfortably when
working. Recheck tightening of all screws, bolts and nuts.

Fuel filling

Gasoline – use only unleaded motor gasoline with octane number 95 (NATURAL 95).
Oil – use only high-quality two-cycle engine oil intended for high speed engines.
Mix with gasoline in 1:25 ratio and pour into the tank.

Gas lever and main switch (STOP) (see Fig. 8)

The gas lever (1) with the electrical switch (2) are only partly mounted. Insert the gas cable
(47) into the carburetor drawbar groove and connect the electrical switch wires. The gas
lever is preassembled on the handle from the factory (3).

WARNING! When adjusting the gas lever, be sure not to let the cutting tool rotate while
starting. The cutting tool would start turning at high speed abruptly and could be dangerous.
The gas cable must be adjusted so that the engine is running at idle thrust when releasing the
gas lever (the cutting tool is not rotating).

Starting (see Fig. 9)

Press the gas lever to the ¼ of the gas lock and cage it.
Turn the main switch on.
Set the primer lever to the OFF (0) position.
Pull the starter quickly. If the engine started-up, move the primer lever into the ON (1) position
again. Repeat this procedure, until the engine starts-up and begins to run.
After having started-up, let the engine warm at idle speed 2,500-2,800 rpm for c. 2-3 min
before the load of the machine.

WARNING! The cutting blade may begin rotating just when starting. When starting the
engine, the blade must not be touching anything.

Idle speed setup (see Fig. 2)

If idle speed is too high or low, adjust the idle speed with the aid of the adjusting screw (3).
If the speed is too high, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
If the speed is too low, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
