GB-5
NOTE :
When trimming near foundations, stone walls
etc., even extreme care cannot avoid an increased wear
of the cutting cord.
TRIMMING / MOWING
Swing the trimmer in sickle-like movements from side to
side. Always hold the cutting head parallel to the ground.
Examine the territory and determine the desired cutting
height. Lead and hold the cutting head in the desired height
to achieve an even cutting result (Fig. 18).
TIGHT TRIMMING
Lead the trimmer straight with a slight angle in forward
direc-tion so that it moves just over the ground. Always trim
away from your body, never lead it towards the operator
(Fig. 15).
TRIMMING AT FENCES AND FOUNDATIONS
To trim at fences, posts, stone walls and foundations lead
the device slowly and carefully without letting the cutting
cord touch any obstacles. If the cutting tool encounters any
solid obstacle (stone, wall, log etc.) there is the danger of a
kickback and higher wear and tear of the cutting cord.
TRIMMING AROUND TREE TRUNKS
Lead the trimmer carefully and slowly around tree trunks
so that the cutting cord does not touch the bark. Cut
around trees from left to right. Capture grass and weeds
with the tip of the cord and slightly tilt the cutting head in
forward direction.
MOWING AWAY
When mowing away, you capture the whole vegetation
down to the ground. To do so tilt the cutting head to the
left with an angle of 30 degrees. Adjust the handle to the
desired position. Be aware of the higher danger of injuries
for the operator, surrounding persons and animals, and
the danger of damages to property through hurled-away
objects (e.g., stones) (Fig. 16).
Extending the cutting cord
To extend the cutting cord let the engine run at full throttle
and bump the cutting head on the ground. The cord is
automatically extended. The cutter at the protection cover
cuts the cord to the required length (Fig. 17).
Important note : Do not use metal wire or plastic-
sheathed metal wire of any kind in the cutting head.
This may lead to serious injuries of the operator.
ATTENTION : Regularly remove any remainders
of grass and weed to avoid an overheating of the
shaft tube. Remainders of grass and weeds get
caught under the protection cover (Fig. 17) avoiding
a sufficient cooling of the shaft tube. Remove the
remainders carefully with a screwdriver or a similar
tool.
Replacing the cutting cord
1. Remove the screw by turning it anticlockwise (Fig. 19).
2. Remove the coil and spring from the spindle (Fig. 20).
3. Remove the remaining cutting cord (Fig. 21).
4.
Fold a 6m x 2mm cord in half. Put the loop end into
the slot of the spool (Fig. 21). The slot is located in the
centre wall that divides the two cord chambers from
each other.
5. Roll both halves of the cord concurrently around
the spool. The wrapping direction is engraved in the
spool: “Wind Cord”. Make sure that the cord is always
tensioned and that each half of the cord stays in the
proper separate spool housing. Roll up the cord until
15 cm of cord remain at each end (Fig. 22).
6. Lead each cord end through the openings at the
respectively opposite side of the coil (Fig. 23).
7. Lead the spring over the spindle and thread the cord
ends through the eyelets in the housing.
8. Lead the coil into the housing while pulling the cord
ends through the eyelets. Make sure that the spring is
positioned correctly in relation to the coil and housing
(Fig. 24).
9. When the coil sits in its correct position in the housing,
push it firmly into the housing so that the spring is
tensioned. Firmly pull at both ends of the cord (H)
so that the cord cannot be pinched between the coil
and housing. Maintain the spring tension through
continuous pressure on the coil in the housing and fix
the screw by turning it clockwise. Fasten the screw
fingertight only (Fig. 25).
11. Cut the cord to about 17cm to avoid excessive load to
the engine during the starting and warm-up phase (Fig.
7).
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ATTENTION ! Always wear protective gloves when
carrying out maintenance work. Never perform
maintenance works with the engine still being
hot.
AIR FILTER
To clean the air filter:
1.
Remove the fixing screw 1 of the air filter cover
(Fig.
26a + b).
2. Clean the filter using soap and water.
Never use petrol or benzene !
3. Let the Filter dry in the air.
4. Now put the filter in again proceeding the other way
round.
NOTE :
Replace the filter if it is worn out, damaged or
too dirty.
TANK CAP / FUEL FILTER
ATTENTION :
Please remove the fuel from the device
and store it in an approved fuel can, before you start
replacing these parts. Open the tank cap carefully to
allow existing pressure to slowly decrease.
NOTE :
Keep the ventilating valve and tank cap clean
(Fig. 27).
1. Pull the fuel suction head (A) out of the tank using a
hook or similar tool (Fig. 28).
2. Pull the suction head off by concurrently turning it (Fig.
28).
3. Replace the filter.
NOTE :
Never use the trimmer without a fuel filter. This
may result in severe damage to the engine.
CARBURETTOR SETTINGS
The carburettor has an optimised setting ‘ex works’. If
any further adjustments should be required contact your
competent customer service.
