7.3 Fuel mixture table

Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil

8. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from town to town.

7.1 Starting the engine when cold

Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol mix. See “Fuel and oil”.

1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.

2. Set the choke lever (Fig. A/Item 10) to “ ”.

3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. A/Item 16) 10 times.

4. Switch the ON/OFF switch (Fig. A/Item 6) to “I”.

5. Secure the throttle lever. To do so, actuate the throttle lock (Fig. A/Item 7) and then actuate the throttle lever (Fig. A/Item 8) while pressing the locking button (Fig. A/Item 9) at the same time to secure the throttle lever.

6. Hold the machine firmly and pull out the starter cable (Fig. A/Item 11) until you feel it start to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter cable 4 times. The machine should start. Please note: Never allow the starter cable to snap back. This may damage the machine.

7. Once the engine has started, move the choke lever immediately to “ ” and allow the machine to warm up for approx. 10 seconds. Please note: Since the throttle lever is secured, the cutting tool starts to operate when the engine is started.Then release the throttle lever by simply actuating it (the engine then returns to running in

idle mode).

8. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 6-7 above.

Please note: If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the section “Troubleshooting”.

Please note: Always pull the starter cable out in a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the cable will become frayed and will wear away faster. Always hold the starter handle when the cable retracts. Never allow the cable to snap back when it has been pulled out. This may also cause damage to the cable or the starter.

8.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the

machine has not been switched off for more than 15 – 20 minutes)

1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.

2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to “I”.

3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as

described in “Starting the engine when cold”).

4. Hold the machine firmly and pull out the starter cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The machine should start after 1-2 tugs. If the machine does not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 7 of the procedure for starting the engine from cold.

8.3 Switching off the engine

Emergency Stop procedure: If it becomes necessary to stop the machine immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to “Stop” or “0”

Normal procedure: Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF switch to “Stop” or “0”.

8.4 Practical tips

Practice all operating techniques with the engine switched off before you start to use the machine.

EXTENDING THE CUTTING LINE

 WARNING: Do not use any kind of metal wire or metal wire encased in plastic in the cutting head. This may cause serious injuries to the user.

 Caution: Remove all grass and weed remains at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating. Grass and weed remains become trapped under the safety shield (Fig. I2) and they prevent the shaft tube receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remains carefully using a screwdriver or the like.

DIFFERENT CUTTING METHODS

If the machine is correctly assembled with the safety hood and cutting head it will cut weeds and long grass in places with difficult access, for example along fences, walls and foundations and also around trees. It can also be used for mowing work to remove vegetation to allow the better preparation of a garden or to clear a certain area down to the soil.

 PLEASE NOTE: Even if it is used carefully, cutting around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will result in the line suffering more than normal wear.

TRIMMING / MOWING

Swing the petrol brush cutter from side to side in a scything motion. Always keep the cutting head parallel to the ground. Check the site and decide what cutting height you require. Guide and hold the cutting head at the required height to ensure that you cut evenly (Fig. I3).

LOWER TRIMMING

Hold the petrol brush cutter right in front of you at a slight angle so that the underside of the cutter head is above the ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw the petrol brush cutter towards yourself.

CUTTING ALONG FENCES / FOUNDATIONS

When cutting approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so that you can cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire fencing it will break.

TRIMMING AROUND TREES

When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the cutting head forwards slightly.

 WARNING: Take extreme care during mowing work. When doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters between yourself and other people or animals.

MOWING

For mowing you want to cut all the vegetation down to the ground. To do this, set the cutting head at an angle of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required position. Remember the increased risk of injury to the user, watchers and animals and the danger of damaging other items due to objects (for example stones) being thrown out (Fig. I4).

WARNING: Do not remove any objects from footpaths, etc. using the petrol brush cutter. The

petrol brush cutter is a powerful tool and can throw small stones and other objects a distance of 15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage to cars, houses and windows.

SAWING

The equipment is not suitable for sawing.

JAMMING

If the blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the motor immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment before you restart it.

PREVENTING RECOIL

When you work with the blade there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, branches, tree stumps, stones or the like. This will throw the equipment backwards in the direction opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause you to lose control of the equipment. Do not use the metal blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations. For cutting dense stalks, position it as shown in Fig. I5/Item A to prevent recoil.

9. Maintenance

Always switch off the machine and pull out the spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance work.

9.1 Replacing the line spool / cutting line

1. Press the line spool housing together (Fig. L1)

below the two lugs (Fig. L2/Item 1) and remove the line spool cover (Fig. L2/Item 2).

2. Take the line spool out of the line spool housing

(Fig. L3). Make sure that you do not lose the spring or the washers.

3. Remove any remaining cutting line.

4. Place the new cutting line in the center and attach

the resulting loop to the recess in the spool splitter (Fig. L4)

5. Wind the line on to the spool counter-clockwise

Page 16

with tension. The spool splitter will separate the two halves of the nylon line (Fig. L5)

6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line to the line holders opposite the line spool (Fig. L6)

7. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing (Fig. L3).

8. Press the line spool into the line spool housing. Ensure that the spring and washers are in the correct position (Fig. L3)

9. Press the line spool cover on to the line spool housing. Ensure that the two lugs (Fig. L2/Item 1) in the line spool housing lock into the appropriate recesses (Fig. L2/Item 2) in the line spool cover.

10. Pull the two line ends briefly and powerfully to release them from the line holders in the line spool.

11. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This will reduce the load on the engine when starting up and warming up.

12. Fit the line spool again. See point 6.4.

If you are replacing the complete line spool, ignore points 3 – 6.

9.2 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. J1-J3)

Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked after every 25 hours of use and cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more frequently.

1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. J1-J2)

2. Remove the filter element (Fig. J3)

3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing it.

4. Assemble in reverse order.

Please note: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents. Clean the air filter with compressed air or by tapping it.

9.3 Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. K1-K2)

Spark plug gap = 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Tighten the spark plug with a torque of 12-15 Nm.

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

1. Remove the spark plug cover (Fig. K1)

2. Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. K2) by twisting.

3. Remove the spark plug (Fig. K2) with the supplied spark plug wrench.

4. Assemble in reverse order.

9.4 Grinding the safety hood blade

The safety hood blade (Fig. F6/Item A) can become blunt over time. When you notice this, undo the two screws holding the safety hood blade to the safety hood. Clamp the blade in a vice. Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction only.

9.5 Carburetor settings Important. Settings on the carburetor may only be

made by authorized customer service personnel. The air filter cover must be removed before any work on the carburetor, as shown in Figures J1-J2.

Setting the throttle cable:

If the maximum speed of the machine falls over time and you have ruled our all the other causes listed in section 13 Troubleshooting, it may be necessary to adjust the throttle cable. First of all check whether the carburetor opens fully when the throttle handle is pressed fully. This is the case if the carburetor slide (Fig. Q1/Item 1) rests against the stop (Fig. Q1/Item 2) when the throttle is fully open. Figure Q1 shows the correct setting. If the carburetor slide does not touch the stop, it must be adjusted. The following work is required to adjust the throttle cable:

 Undo the lock nut (Fig. Q2/Item 3) a few turns.  Undo the adjusting screw (Fig. Q3/Item 4) until

the carburetor slide rests against the stop when the throttle is fully open, as shown in Figure Q1.

 Retighten the lock nut.

Setting the idling speed: Important. Set the idling speed when the machine is

warm.

If the engine stalls when the throttle is not pressed and you have ruled out all the other causes listed in section 13 Troubleshooting, the idling speed must be adjusted. To do this turn the idling speed screw (Fig. Q4/Item 5) clockwise until the machine runs smoothly at idling speed.

If the idling speed is so fast that the cutting tool turns as well, it has to be reduced by turning the idling speed screw counter-clockwise (Fig. O4/ Item 5) for as long as is required for the cutting tool to stop turning as well.

10. Storage

damage.

1. Carry out all the maintenance work.

2. Drain the fuel out of the tank (use a conventional plastic petrol pump from a DIY store for this purpose).

3. When the fuel has been drained, start the engine.

4. Allow the engine to run at idling speed until it stops. This will clean the remainder of the fuel out of the carburetor.

5. Leave the machine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).

Restarting

1. Remove the spark plug.

2. Pull the starter cable several times to clean the oil residue out of the combustion chamber.

3. Clean the spark plug contacts or fit a new spark plug.

4. Fill the tank. See the section entitled Fuel and oil.

5. Complete steps 1-7 described under the point entitled “Starting the engine from cold”.

Transport

GUARANTEE CERTIFICATE

Dear Customer,

All of our products undergo strict quality checks to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that your device develops a fault, please contact our service department at the address shown on this guarantee card. Of course, if you would prefer to call us then we are also happy to offer our assistance under the service number printed below. Please note the following terms under which guarantee claims can be made:

1. These guarantee terms cover additional guarantee rights and do not affect your statutory warranty rights. We do not charge you for this guarantee.

2. Our guarantee only covers problems caused by material or manufacturing defects, and it is restricted to the rectification of these defects or replacement of the device. Please note that our devices have not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Consequently, the guarantee is invalidated if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial applications or for other equivalent activities. The following are also excluded from our guarantee: compensation for transport damage, damage caused by failure to comply with the installation/assembly instructions or damage caused by unprofessional installation, failure to comply with the operating instructions (e.g. connection to the wrong mains voltage or current type), misuse or inappropriate use (such as overloading of the device or use of non-approved tools or accessories), failure to comply with the maintenance and safety regulations, ingress of foreign bodies into the device (e.g. sand, stones or dust), effects of force or external influences (e.g. damage caused by the device being dropped) and normal wear resulting from proper operation of the device.

The guarantee is rendered null and void if any attempt is made to tamper with the device.

3. The guarantee is valid for a period of 2 years starting from the purchase date of the device. Guarantee claims should be submitted before the end of the guarantee period within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. The original guarantee period remains applicable to the device even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fitted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or parts fitted. This also applies when an on-site service is used.

Of course, we are also happy offer a chargeable repair service for any defects which are not covered by the scope of this guarantee or for units which are no longer covered. To take advantage of this service, please send the device to our service address.
