Assembly 4 Assembly

Before you can start with the tree care, it is necessary to mount

the saw chain and the blade to the device. The chain (29) is very sharp-edged. Be sure to wear safety gloves when mounting the chain (29).

1. First, remove the chain guard from the blade unit.

2. Then turn the locking screw on the cutting head (d) counterclockwise with the wrench (24) and remove the upper housing cover.

3. Insert the saw chain into the groove guide of the blade unit (30). Start at the top of the blade if possible. Be sure to pay attention to the correct cutting direction. There are direction arrows, which must coincide with the running direction on the blade on the blade unit and in the inner housing

below the sprocket. Now place the saw chain around the sprocket (e) and place the blade unit on the pin of the cocking slide (f). Make sure that the bolt engages in the corresponding opening on the blade. If necessary, turn the tensioner screw (g). To ensure the even wear of the chain blade, the chain blade (30) should be turned after 8 - 10 working hours. Always pay attention to the correct chain tension and check it before every use of the device. A loose chain could come o the groove guide of the blade unit and cause serious injury. Furthermore, a loose chain also increases the risk of blowback. In addition, blade, chain and sprocket wear out faster.

Adjustment of the chain tension:

1. First, slightly tighten the locking screw on the sprocket cover.

2. The screw of the clamping device (g) is located below the chain link on the front of the device head. Use the supplied spark plug wrench (22) to turn it in the appropriate direction to increase or decrease the tension on the chain. Turning clockwise: Tension of the chain is increased. Turning counterclockwise: Tension of the chain is relaxed. AA correct chain tension can be detected by the fact that the saw chain rests evenly at each point of the blade unit and does not sag or overstress.

3. If the chain tension is correct, retighten the sprocket cover lock knob. New chains expand. Check the new chain after a few minutes of operation. Let the chain cool down and then adjust the chain tension again if necessary.

Fill in oil:

The prerequisite for perfect function and long product life is regular lubrication. Therefore check the oil tank every time before using this device and rell with oil if necessary. Proceed as follows:

1. Open the cap of the oil tank (28). Remove oil residue and other contaminants by rubbing the ller cap and oil ller neck with a cloth.

2. Fill environmentally friendly and biodegradable chain lubricating oil into the oil tank (28) and then close it again. To minimize the risk of re, make sure that there are no oil residues outside the container when lling. Always use a funnel to ll.

Never use waste oil for chain lubrication. Used oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties, is harmful to the environment and causes skin cancer after prolonged and repeated skin contact. Use only lubricating oil, which has sucient resistance to aging so that it does not become resinous and form solid deposits that could damage the device. Always adhere to the specied oil intervals. This device must be re -supplied with oil after a working time of max. 15 minutes.

Adjustment of flow of the oil

Caution: An increase in oil throughput speeds up oil consumption, leading to more frequent checks / rells. To ensure adequate lubrication, it may be necessary to check the oil level more frequently than when relling the fuel tank. The guide rail and the chain are automatically lubricated by a pump that works when the chain turns. The pump is factory set to provide a medium ow rate. However, it can be set in the eld. Temporary increase in oil ow is often desirable when cutting hardwood and resinous wood. Set the pump as described below:

1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the "STOP" position.

2. Place the device on the side with the oil tank on top. See the image A10.

3. Using a screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw of the oil-throughput in the desired direction

In the clockwise direction : Reduce lubrication

Counter-clockwise: Increase lubrication

Caution:

The adjusting screw of the oil ow must be pressed slightly while turning, otherwise the pump and screw will be damaged.

6. Working with the brush cutter /

grass trimmer

- Familiarize yourself with the operation and

control when the appliance is switched o the rst time you work with a petrol brush cutter.

- The petrol brush cutter is designed in such a

way that it is controlled by the operator only on the right side of the body.

CAUTION. The cutting device continues to still rotate for a few seconds after stopping the engine. Hold both handles firmly up to the complete standstill of the cutting device.

Now press the release button (4) and then the throttle lever (2) until the device runs smoothly and has reached full speed.

- Always hold the petrol brush cutters by the handles with both hands rmly.

- Hold the control handle with your right hand and the handle of the handrail with your left hand.

- Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to rotate for a short time after the throttle has been released.

- Always ensure proper engine idling so that the cutting tool does not turn when the throttle is depressed.

- Always work at high speed, through which you will have the best cutting result.

- Control the device from left to right and back with an evenly curved movement.

Then cut the next track. Caution: Always return the device to its original position before cutting the next length.

- If you hit against a stone or tree while working, turn o the engine and disconnect the spark plug

connector, then inspect the petrol brush cutters for damage.

Caution: Always be extra cautious when working in dicult terrain and on slopes. When the grass is tall, cut in stages so as not to overload the device. First cut the tips, then work in stages.

For an adequate protective equipment during the use, care must be taken in accordance with the operating instructions. All other usages are ruled out. Any damage or injury resulting from misuse is the responsibility of the user / operator and not the manufacturer. Only use 3-teeth blades suitable for the machine as mentioned in the operating instructions.

Always wear protective goggles and ear protection and wear a protective helmet during forestry work.

6.1 Mowing with a string trimmer head

- Use the thread cassette for obtain a clean cut

even on uneven surfaces, at fence posts and near trees.

-- Carefully lead the trimming thread to an

obstacle and cut with the thread tip around the obstacle. When the trimming string comes into contact with stones, trees and walls, the thread frays prematurely or breaks.

- Never replace the plastic thread with a metal

wire - risk of injury!

6.2 Mowing with thicket knife

- Use the thicket knife to comb through thickets,

wild growth, young trees (maximum 2 cm trunk diameter) and tall grass.

- When using metal cutting tools there is always

a risk of blowback if the tool hits a solid obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). The device is thrown back against the direction of rotation.

- In the case of wild growth and scrub, "dip" the

thicket knife from above. As a result, the material to be cut is chopped.

- To sift through young stocks of trees and for cutting grass, run the device such as a brush cutter close to the ground.

CAUTION: Misuse and abuse can damage the thicket knife and cause serious injury from parts slung away.

- In order to reduce the risk of accidents caused by thickets, observe the following points:

- Never cut shrubs or wood larger than 2 cm in diameter.

- Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.

- Check the thicket knife regularly for damage. Never use a damaged thicket knife once again.

-- If there is noticeable dulling of the thicket knife, it must be sharpened in accordance with the instructions by a qualied specialist. If noticeable imbalance, the thicket knife must be replaced.

6.3 Trim lines in automatic mode

The petrol brush cutter comes with a lled thread cassette.

The thread wears o during work. To feed new thread, press the trigger on the thread cassette rmly on the ground with the motor running.

CAUTION: Take extra care with this technique, because the greater the distance of the cutting tool to the ground, the greater the risk that cutting material and foreign objects are thrown sideways.

The thread is automatically released by the centrifugal force. The blade on the cutting guard trims the trimming thread to the correct length.

7. Working with the pole-mounted

powered pruner unit

A20

- Never stand directly under the branch you want to saw o. The danger of the branch unexpectedly falling on you is very great. In general, it is recommended to set the branch saw at an angle of 60 ° to the branch.

- Hold the appliance rmly with both hands during the cutting process and always ensure that the machine is in an equilibrium position and that it is strong.

- Never try to operate your tool with one hand. Losing control of your tool can result in serious injury or death. Never work on a ladder, a tree branch or other from an unsafe ground.

A21

A22

7.1 Precautions during the sawing procedure

In order to reduce the risk of injury and accident as much as possible, it is important to be suciently informed about the sawing procedures and precautionary measures for accident prevention. Therefore, read the following instructions carefully and observe the safety instructions in chapter 2 during your entire work process:

max 60

A23

- Do not saw strong branches in one cut, but always in several steps.

- Place the saw chain on the branch for cutting.

- Apply light pressure to guide the unit, but do not overload the engine.

- Adhere to the cutting technique given in chapter 7.2 to avoid injuries and to not sustainably damage your trees.

Clear the work area before cutting o disturbing branches and undergrowth. Then create a retreat area, away from the place where cut branches can fall, and remove all obstacles there. Keep the work area clear, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay attention to your position, the wind direction and the possible fall direction of the branches. Be prepared for fallen branches to strike back. Place all other tools and equipment at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the blowback area.

Always observe the condition of the tree.

Look for decay and putrefaction in the roots and branches. If these are rotten inside, they can unexpectedly break away and fall o while cutting. Also look for broken and dead branches that could be released by the shock and fall on you. For very thick or heavy branches, make

a small incision below the branch rst, before working from top to bottom, to prevent it from breaking o.

7.2 Basic cutting technique

The most common eects are:

• Blowback,

• Recoil,

• Retraction.

Heavy branches break o easily while sawing and tear away long strips of bark from the trunk, which permanently damages the tree. The following cutting technique can signicantly reduce this risk:

1. Saw about 10 cm of the branch from the trunk,

at the bottom of the branch (see Fig. A20).

2. Make another cut of about 15 cm from the top

of the trunk. Saw until the branch breaks o. The risk of a damage to the bark at the trunk does not exist anymore (see Fig. A21).

3. Finally, remove the remaining branch stump

(see Fig. A22), with a clean cut from above along the trunk.

In order to minimize the damage to the tree, we also recommend sealing the area of the cut with tree wax.

7.3 Dangers due to reactive forces

Reactive forces occur while operating the saw chain. The forces applied to the wood act against the operator. They occur when the running chain comes in contact with a solid object such as a branch or is trapped. These forces can lead to loss of control and injuries. Understanding the formation of these forces can help you to avoid the moment of shock and loss of control. This saw is designed in such a way that the blowback eects are not as noticeable as with conventional chainsaws. Nevertheless, always keep a rm grip and a good footing to keep control of the tool in case of doubt.

Blowback

The blowback can occur when the running saw chain at the upper quarter of the guide rail hits on a solid object or is jammed.

A23

The cutting force of the chain exerts a rotational force on the saw in the opposite direction to the chain’s movement. This leads to an upward movement of the guide rail.

Avoid blowback

The best protection is to avoid situations that lead to blowbacks.

1. Always keep an eye on the position of the upper guide rail.

2. Never let this place come in contact with an object. Do not cut anything with it. Be particularly careful near wire fences and while cutting small, hard branches, into which the chain can easily jam.

3. Cut only one branch at a time.

A = Retraction

uncontrollable and can be pushed with great force in the direction of the operator.

1. Be aware of the forces and situations that can cause the chain to jam to the top of the rail.

2. Do not cut more than one branch at a time.

A24

The retraction occurs when the chain suddenly gets stuck on the underside of the rail, because it gets jammed or hits a foreign object in the wood. The chain then pulls the saw forward. The retraction often happens when the chain does not run at full speed when in contact with the wood.

Avoid retraction

1. Be aware of the forces and situations that can

cause the chain to stick to the underside of the rail.

2. Always start cutting with the chain running at

full speed.

B = Recoil

A25

The recoil occurs when the chain suddenly gets stuck on the top of the rail because it gets caught or hits a foreign object in the wood. The chain could then press the saw against the operator with a jerk. Recoiling often happen when the top of the rail is used for cutting.

Avoid recoil

- Risk of blowback! There is always a risk of

blowback, if the blade tip touches branches or other objects. The brush cutters will be

3. Do not tilt the rail aside when pulling it out of a cutting gap, otherwise the chain could become trapped.

8. Cleaning, maintenance, transport and storage

RISK OF INJURY CAUTION: Always wear protective gloves when working on and around cutting tools.

To avoid the risk of unintentional starting, pull out the spark plug connector.

8.1 Cleaning

Use a damp cloth to clean the plastic parts. Do not use detergents, solvents or sharp objects.

Due to technical reasons, wet grass and weeds wrap around the drive axle under the cutting protection.

Remove them, otherwise the engine will overheat due to excessive friction.

8.2 Maintenance

8.2.1 Regular checks

Please note that the following information refers to normal use. Under certain circumstances (longer daily work, heavy dust load, etc.), the specied intervals shorten accordingly.

Before starting work and after each tank lling:

Check for loose attachments, especially on the cutting set and shoulder strap, fuel leaks and damaged parts, such as for example cracks in cutting unit (visual inspection). Also, visually inspect each time the device is dropped and after any other impact to identify signicant defects.

Weekly examination: Gear lubrication (also as required).

If necessary: Tighten accessible fastening screws and nuts.

You will avoid excessive wear and damage to the device if you follow the instructions in this manual.

The user is responsible for all damage caused by non-observance of the instructions given in this manual.

This also applies to unauthorized modications to the device, use of unauthorized spare parts, add-on parts, work tools, non-conforming and improper use, consequential damage through the use of defective components.

Always keep the device and all cutting equipment and protective equipment in good working condition.

8.2.2 Change of spark plug

A26

8.2.3 Wearing parts

Check the electrode gap of the spark plug (h) at least once a year or if starting is dicult on a regular basis. The correct distance between the starting ag and the ignition contact is

0.6-0.7 mm.

- Wait till the engine has cooled completely.

- Remove the 2 locking screws on the housing with the screwdriver (23) and open the housing of the spark plug

0.6-0.7 mm

assembly.

- Remove the spark plug cap (i) from the spark plug (h) and unscrew the spark plug with the spark plug wrench (22) supplied.

- In case of excessive wear of the electrode or in case of very

strong encrustation, the spark plug must be replaced with one of the same type. Strong encrustation on the spark plug may be due to: Too much oil in the petrol mixture, bad oil quality, overaged petrol blend or clogged air lter.

- Turn the spark plug (h) completely into the winding manually. Avoid tilting the spark plug.

- Tighten the spark plug (h) with the spark plug wrench (29) supplied.

- When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque is 12-15 Nm.

- Insert the spark plug connector (i) correctly on the ignition plug.

- Attach the spark plug assembly housing to the device with 2 locking screws.

Even when used as intended, some components are subject to normal wear and tear.

These components must be replaced regularly depending on the type and duration of use. These parts include the cutting tool and the retaining plate.

8.2.4 Changing spools of thread

A27

8.2.5 Air filter cleaning

OFF

To avoid the risk of unintentional starting, pull out the spark plug connector.

- Pull o the cover for the spools of thread by pressing the retaining tabs o the spools of thread (14)

- Move the cover for the spools of thread to the "o" position. Remove the spools of thread with the thread residue and the compression spring.

- Remove the used winding (bobbin).

- Take the new thread spools and pull out 10 cm of both threads.

- Now place the thread spools of thread (14) on the tapered spring and guide both threads through the eyes on the spools of thread case.

- Now place the thread spool cover on the new

spools of thread. Turn them so that the notches on the thread spool cover align with the eyelets in the spools of thread case.

- Now push the thread spool cover together with the thread spools until it snaps into the thread housing. Then put the thread spool cover in the "On" position.

Because of the blade in the cutting guard (15), the trimming thread is shortened to the correct length when the machine starts up again.

After prolonged work, you should clean the air lter (5). Dust and pollen clog the pores of the foam lter.

- Remove the cover (j) and wash the lter (k) in

slightly soapy water. Caution: Do not use petrol or solvents.

- Dry the lter before reinserting it. To avoid shortening the life of the engine, a damaged air lter must be replaced immediately.

A28

8.2.6 Care of the guide rail

A29

• Turn over the rail each time you sharpen or replace the chain. This will avoid one-sided wear of the rail, especially at the top and bottom. Clean the following regularly:

1 = the opening for the oil supply 2 = the oil channel 3 = the running groove of the rail

Pay attention to the angles and dimensions given below. If the saw chain is not properly sharpened or the depth gauge is too small, there is a higher risk of blowback eects and resulting injuries!

The saw chain cannot be xed on the guide rail. It is therefore best to take the chain o the rail and then sharpen it.

• Select a sharpening tool suitable for the chain

pitch. See "Technical data" for the approved chain pitches.

A30

The chain pitch (e.g., 3/8 ") is marked in the depth gauge of each blade.

8.2.7 Maintenance and sharpening of the saw chain

The properly sharpened chain

A properly sharpened chain goes eortlessly through the wood and requires very little pressure. Do not work with a dull or damaged saw chain. It increases the physical eort, increases the vibrations and leads to unsatisfactory results and higher wear.

• Clean the chain.

• Check for breaks in the links and damaged rivets.

• Replace damaged and worn chain parts with matching spare parts, which you can trim to the shape and size of the original parts if necessary.

• Sharpening a chain should only be done by experienced users!

Use only special les for saw chains! Other les have the wrong shape and the wrong cut. Select the diameter of the le according to your chain pitch. Be sure to observe the following angles when sharpening the chain’s blades.

A31

A = ling angle B = angle of the side plate

The angle must also be maintained for all knives. In case of uneven angles, the chain will run irregularly, wear out quickly and break prematurely.

A32

Since these requirements can only be met with sucient and regular practice:

• Use a le holder A le holder must be used by hand to sharpen the saw chain manually. The correct ling angles are marked on it.

A33

A34

chain runs irregularly and it increases the risk of breaking.

8.2.8 Gear lubrication

A35

Check the grease lling approx. every 25 operating hours.

- Unscrew the screw plug with a suitable cross-

headed screwdriver.

- If no further grease can be seen on the screw, ll

approx. 5 g of universal grease (DIY store) into the gear housing and close the lling hole again.

• Hold the le horizontally (at the correct angle to the guide rail) and le according to the angle mark on the le holder. Support the le holder on the top plate and the depth gauge.

• Always le the knife from the inside out.

• The le sharpens only in the forward movement. Lift it o when moving backwards.

•• Do not touch the straps and dynamic parts with the le.

• Continue to rotate the le regularly to avoid one-sided wear.

• Take a piece of hard wood to remove the ridges from cut edges.

All blades must be of the same length, otherwise they are of dierent heights. As a result, the

Make sure that the gearbox housing is never completely lled with grease.

8.2.9 Carburetor adjustment

The factory setting for the carburetor is for optimum performance. Should an improved setting be necessary, please contact a specialist workshop.

8.2.10 Trimming knife with string

A36

- If the trimming string is no longer cut cleanly when lengthening, hone down the cutting edge with a le. File in one direction and at the specied angle.

and screw it into the opening.

2. Pull the cable quickly several times to clean the

engine compartment of oil and debris.

8.3 Transport

Disconnect the spark plug connector before transport and empty the oil tank and fuel tank to prevent leakage. In order to prevent damage and / or injury, remove the last cutting set installed before each transport and store it in a designated transport protection.

Clean and maintain the device before transport (see above) and secure it from slipping.

For a longer transport, it is recommended to remove the extension (27) from the drive unit.

8.4 Storage / Winter storage

Clean and service the device before storage.

To ensure that the Brush cutter-Grass trimmerPruner-Hedge trimmer-Combination device works without any problem again after a long period of storage, you should note the following:

- Empty the fuel tank (7) before storage.

- Start the engine and let it run up to a standstill.

- When the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug.

- Fill a small spoonful of 4-stroke engine oil into the spark plug opening and pull the cable slowly several times. As a result, soot deposits are blown out and the piston and cylinder are lubricated.

- Store the Brush cutter-Grass trimmer-PrunerHedge trimmer-Combination device

in a dry place, out of the reach of children and without risk of re.

Safe use

The device is designed for cutting hedges. Do not use the device for any other purpose. Do not try to cut through stone, metal, plastic or other hard objects. Use of the hedge trimmer for other purposes may result in personal injury or serious personal injury. Preparation:

• Wear suitable protective clothing and protective gear; see section "Safety instructions".

• Select the working position, which is most suitable to protect you from falling objects (branches, etc.).

• Start the engine.

• Put on the belt. Never stand directly under the branch you wish to cut. Watch out for falling branches. Remember that a branch can spring back on the ground after the fall. Working position: Hold the control lever with your right hand and the shaft with your left hand. Your left arm should be stretched out in a comfortable position. Caution: Rest, when you feel exhausted.

Cutting sequence

If a round cut is necessary, perform the cut in several steps.

Cutting techniques

Vertical cut: Move the blade up and down in a curve at the hedge. Use both sides of the blade. Horizontal cut: Hold the blade at an angle of 0 ° to 10 ° and move the hedge trimmer in a horizontal direction. Move the blade in an arc to the edge of the hedge so that the waste falls to the ground.

A49

Horizontal cut Cut close to the ground in a standing position, e.g. low bushes A 19.

A50

Applications

Preparations

Use pruning shears to remove thick branches rst.

Overhead cut Hold the shank straight and set a 90 ° angle of the sword to intersect the top of a hedge A 50.

A51

Vertical section Cut, without standing directly next to the hedge, z. B. if there is a bed between operator and hedge A 51.

Operation of the hedge trimmer with articulated arm

A52

Horizontal cut Please cut, without standing directly in front of the hedge, e.g. when cutting across a bed A 52.

A53

Always wear a helmet to avoid head injuries while using the device. Tie your long hair above shoulder level. Always wear safety goggles and ear protection. We also recommend wearing a face shield as additional protection for face and eyes. Wear non-slip work gloves to hold the hedge trimmer better. Wear tight-tting clothing that still allows you freedom of movement. Never wear shorts. Always operate the device with both hands A 53.

A54

Always stand safe and do not stretch too much. Always keep your balance during work. Persons standing must be at least 10 meters away from the hedge trimmer so that they are not cut by the blades or hit by falling objects or ying small pieces. Wear sturdy shoes with anti-slip sole for a secure footing. Safety shoes with steel caps are recommended A 54.

Daily maintenance

Warning! Always wear gloves when working with the hedge trimmer.

• Remove debris and dirt from the hedge trimmer blades. Lubricate the blade before and after use, and after refuelling. Check the blades for damage or misalignment.

• Check the entire device for leaking fuel or lubricant.

• Check if the nuts, bolts and screws (except the adjusting screws on the carburetor) are rmly xed.

Warning! Before servicing, repairing or

cleaning the device, make sure that the

engine and cutting attachment are switched o. Disconnect the spark plug connection before performing any service or maintenance. Components that are not original may not work

properly with the device and may result in property damage and personal injury.

Maintenance after 10-15 operating hours

• Lubricate the hedge trimmer’s transmission housing by injecting one or two strokes of lithium grease into the gearbox with a grease gun with hand lever. See A 55. Caution! Excessive lubrication can lead to stiness of the gearbox and leakage of grease.

A55

1). Lubrication point of the gearbox housing

Maintenance after 50 operating hours

After every 50 hours of operation (more often in dusty and dirty environments):

• Remove and clean the cylinder cover and remove dirt and debris from the cooling ns of the cylinder.

• Lubricate the gearbox housing.

Long-term storage

If the device is not used for 30 days or more, prepare it for storage as follows:

• Clean all external components and apply a thin layer of oil to all metal surfaces. Caution! If petrol is left in the carburetor for a longer period of time, it can result in a hard start and increased maintenance and service costs.

• Completely drain the fuel from the carburettor and the fuel tank.

• Remove the spark plug and add approx. 3 ml of oil to the cylinder via the spark plug holder. Tighten the recoil starter 2 to 3 times slowly, so that the oil is distributed evenly in the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

• Before storing the device, you must replace worn or damaged components. Pull the blade cover over.

• Remove the air cleaner from the carburetor and clean it with soap and water thoroughly. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Put a few drops of oil on the air purier and distribute it. Mount the air cleaner again.

• Store the device in a clean, dust-free location.

Caution!

Do not remove the D-shaped shim from the clamping of the gearbox housing! The shim prevents damage caused by excessive tightening of the clamping screw.

1. Loosen the clamping screw of the gearbox housing.

2. Remove the index screw from the gearbox.

A56

3. Pull the gearbox out of the tube. Use a grease gun and pump lithium grease (about 10 g) into the lubricating hole of the gearbox until old grease comes out of the gearbox (A 56). This grease exits into the cavity of the outer tube. Remove excess grease and put the gearbox housing into the outer tube. Make sure that the index screw is snapped into the outer tube lock. Tighten both screws.
