5. Installation
5.1 Installing the long handle
Install the long handle as shown in Figures D1 – D3.
Do not tighten the screws until you have set the
perfect working position with the carrying strap. The
long handle should be aligned as shown in Figure A.
5.2 Fitting / Replacing the blade (Fig. E1 – E3)
When the machine is supplied the blade is ready-
fitted. Therefore we will first explain how to remove it.
Line up the hole in the carrier plate (Fig. E1/ Item
26) with the notch beneath it and lock the carrier
plate with the size 6 Allen key (Fig. E1/E2)
Remove the securing nut for the blade using the
supplied spark plug wrench (Fig. E2).
Important :
Left-hand thread!
Remove the pressure plate cover (Fig. E3/Item
26) and the pressure plate (Fig. E3/Item 27)
The blade (Fig. E3/Item 4) can now be removed.
To assemble, proceed in reverse order. Please
note that the side of the pressure plate (Fig.
E3/Item 26) with the recess must point towards
the blade.
5.3 Installing the cutting line guard hood
Important
: The cutting line guard hood must be fitted
if you wish to work with the cutting line.
The guard hood for the cutting line must be installed
as shown in Figures F1 – F3.
A blade (Fig. F6/ Item A) on the underside of the
guard hood automatically cuts the cutting line to the
optimum length. This is covered by a guard (Fig.
F6/Item B).
Remove the guard before you start working and
replace it when you have finished working.
5.4 Fitting / Replacing the line spool
Line up the hole in the carrier plate with the notch
beneath it and lock the carrier plate with the size 6
Allen key (Fig. F4)
Secure the line spool on to the locating pin (Fig. F5).
Important: Left-hand thread!
To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.
5.5 Mounting the blade guard hood
Important: The cutting blade guard hood must be
fitted if you wish to work with the cutting blade. The
guard hood for the cutting blade must be installed as
shown in Figures F7 – F9.
6. Before starting the machine
Check that all moving parts move smoothly before
you start using the machine. Check that all screw
connections are securely fastened and also check all
the safety devices.
6.1 Setting the cutting height
Fit the carrying strap as shown in Figures G1 –
G3.
Hook the machine to the carrying belt (Fig. G4).
Adjust the perfect working and cutting position
using the various strap adjusters on the carrying
strap (Fig. G5).
In order to establish the optimum length of the
carrying strap, you should then make a few
swinging movements without starting the engine
(Fig. H).
The carrying strap is fitted with a quick-release
mechanism. Pull the red strap section (Fig. G6) if you
need to remove the strap quickly.
Important : Always use the strap when working with
the machine. Attach the strap as soon as you have
started the engine and it is running in idle mode.
Switch off the engine before you take off the carrying
strap.
Check the machine for the following each time before
use:
That there are no leaks in the fuel system
That the cutting unit and all safety devices are in
perfect condition
That all screws are securely fastened
6.2 Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of normal unleaded petrol and
special 2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as
indicated on the fuel mixing table.
Please note: Do not use a fuel mixture which has
been kept for longer than 90 days.
Please note: Do not use 2-stroke oil with a
recommended mixing ration of 100:1. If inadequate
lubrication causes engine damage, the
manufacturer’s engine warranty will be voided.
Please note: Only use containers designed and
approved for the purpose to transport and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil
into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the bottle).
Then shake the bottle well.
