STARTING THE ENGINE
Cold start
In order not to overtax the engine when starting it, cut the
trimmer cord to 17 cm (Fig. 15).
1. Put the ignition switch in position ‘I’ (Fig. 16).
2. Slide the choke to position ‘Start’
(Fig. 17).
3. Push the fuel pump (A) 8 times (Fig. 18).
4. To push the throttle lever (9) it is necessary to first
push the locking lever (11).
Pull throttle lever and
block it in half-gas position using the locking button;
let go of the throttle lever
(fig. 19)
.
5.
Firmly hold the device by the handle.
Pull the starter
rope 2-3 times (Fig. 20); to start the motor it is re-
quired to evenly, quickly pull the rope.
6. Slide the choke to ‘RUN’
position (Fig. 21).
Pull
starter rope until the engine starts.
7.
As soon as the engine starts running shortly open the
throttle to unlock the throttle lever from its half-gas
position.
8. Let the motor idle for about 10 seconds to warm up.
9. If the motor does not start re
peat the steps 1-8.
NOTE :
If the engine should not start after several
tries proceed as described in the chapter ‘Trouble-
shooting’.
NOTE :
Always pull out the starter rope straight. If you
do not pull straight the rope will chafe at the eyelet. This
chafe will cause the rope to fan out and thus to a higher
wear and tear. Always hold the starter rope handle when
the rope is pulled back. Do not let the rope flick back
when it is pulled out. This could lead to a hook-up of
the rope and/or a damage to the starter housing.
STARTING WARM ENGINE
DO NOT USE THE CHOKE !
If the fuel tank was empty, repeat steps 1, 4, 6 and 7 un-
der STARTING COLD ENGINE after refilling.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
(Fig. 22)
Release the throttle lever. Let the engine idle. Push the ig-
nition switch to position “STOP”. The motor will now stop.
Emergency stop: If it should be necessary to stop
the tool immediately push the “STOP” button.
OPERATING ADVICE
- If you are not familiar with the trimmer train the handling of
the device with the engine not running (AUS /
STOP
).
- Always check the territory; solid objects as metal parts,
bottles, stones etc. may be hurled away and cause
serious injuries or permanently damage the device.
Should you touch a solid object with the trimmer shut
the engine off immediately (AUS /
STOP
) and examine
the trimmer for possibly existing damages. Do not use
the device when it is damaged or shows sign of defects
- Always trim and cut with the engine running in the higher
speed range. Do not let the engine run at low speed at
the beginning of or during the trimming.
- Use the device for its provided purpose only, i.e., trimming
and cutting grass and weeds.
- Never hold the cutting head higher than your knees during
operation.
- If working on a slope always stand with the cutting unit
above you. Only work on sloping sites if you stand on
firm ground.
TRIMMING
The trimmer – properly equipped with protection cover
and cutting head – trims high grass, brushwood and
weeds at places that are difficult to access along fences,
walls, foundations and around tree trunks. The trimmer
may also be used for cutting down to the ground (e.g.,
clean-out works in the garden and in broken, thickly
covered areas).
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. 23).
TIGHT TRIMMING
Lead the trimmer straight with a slight angle in forward
direction so that it moves just over the ground. Always trim
away from your body, never lead it towards the operator
(Fig. 24).
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. 24).
