 BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

(Hilti DSH 900-X)

PRE-OPERATION CHECK 

 

Check the fuel level. To add fuel:

• 

Mix the fuel (two-stroke oil / gasoline mixture) by shaking the fuel 

container. Use a mixing ratio of 1:50. This corresponds to 1 part good-

quality two-stroke oil that complies with the API-TC specification and 

50 parts gasoline

• 

Place the product in a steady upright position.

• 

Open the fuel tank by turning the cap counterclockwise and then 

removing the cap.

• 

Fill the tank slowly using a funnel.

• 

Close the fuel tank by fitting the cap and then turning it clockwise.

Fitting a cutting disc:

• 

Risk of injury and damage. Damaged cutting discs may break. If 

the cutting disc has been subjected to an impact, check the disc for 

damage and replace it if necessary. Never use cutting discs that are 

damaged, run untrue or vibrate. Don’t use synthetic resin-bonded 

fiber-reinforced cutting discs which have exceeded their use-by date 

or already softened due to water absorption.

1.  Insert the locking pin in the hole in the drive belt cover and turn the 

cutting disc until the locking pin engages.

2.  Release the securing screw by turning the screw counterclockwise 

with the wrench and then remove the screw and washer.

3.  Remove the locking pin.
4. 

Remove the clamping flange and the cutting disc.

5. 

Check that the mounting bore of the cutting disc to be fitted 

corresponds with the centering collar of the cutting disc mounting 

flange.  

6.  Clean the clamping and centering surfaces on the product and on the 

cutting disc.

7.  Place the cutting disc with centering collar on the drive arbor and 

check that the direction of rotation is correct. The direction-of-

rotation arrow on the cutting disc must match the direction of rotation 

indicated on the product.

STARTING THE ENGINE

• 

Press the decompression valve (once).

• 

When starting the cold engine (only when cold), squeeze the primer 

bulb 2 to 3 times (until the primer bulb is completely filled with fuel).

• 

Press the throttle safety grip and keep it pressed.

• 

Press the throttle trigger and keep it pressed.

• 

Move the start/stop switch to the “start” position.

• 

Release the throttle safety grip and throttle trigger.

• 

This half-throttle position is activated.

• 

Check that the cutting disc is free to rotate.

• 

Position your right foot over the lower part of the rear grip.

• 

Pull the starter handle slowly with your right hand until resistance is 

felt.

• 

Pull the starter handle vigorously.

• 

Repeat this action until the engine starts.

• 

Press the throttle trigger briefly as soon as the engine starts.

• 

This disengages the half-throttle position and the engine then runs at 

idling speed when the throttle is released.

5.2

Assembly and adjustment

WARNING

Risk of injury.

Contact with the rotating cutting disc can lead to injury. Hot parts of the machine or a hot

cutting disc may cause burning injuries.

Before fitting or adjusting any parts of the product, make sure that the engine is switched off, that the

cutting disc has completely stopped rotating and that the product has cooled down.

Wear protective gloves.

5.2.1 Fitting a cutting disc

WARNING

Risk of injury and damage.

Cutting discs or fastening parts that don’t fit correctly can suffer irreparable

damage or lead to loss of control of the product.

Use only cutting discs with a rated maximum permissible speed that’s at least as high as the maximum

speed stated on the product. The cutting discs, flanges and screws used must fit the product.

Use only cutting discs with an arbor size (mounting hole diameter) of 20 mm or 25.4 mm (1").

CAUTION

Risk of injury and damage.

Damaged cutting discs may break.

If the cutting disc has been subjected to an impact, check the disc for damage and replace it if necessary.

Never use cutting discs that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate.

Don’t use synthetic resin-bonded fiber-reinforced cutting discs which have exceeded their use-by date

or already softened due to water absorption.

1. Insert the locking pin in the hole in the drive belt cover and turn the cutting disc until the locking pin

engages.

2. Release the securing screw by turning the screw counterclockwise with the wrench and then remove the

screw and washer.

3. Remove the locking pin.

4. Remove the clamping flange and the cutting disc.

5. Check that the mounting bore of the cutting disc to be fitted corresponds with the centering collar of the

cutting disc mounting flange.

The mounting flange is equipped with a 20 mm diameter centering collar on one side and a 25.4

mm (1") diameter centering collar on the opposite side.

6. Clean the clamping and centering surfaces on the product and on the cutting disc.

7. Place the cutting disc with centering collar on the drive arbor and check that the direction of rotation is

correct.

The direction-of-rotation arrow on the cutting disc must match the direction of rotation indicated on

the product.

If the following conditions are met, also take this action:

Conditions

: The engine is hot.

Pull the choke lever upwards and then push it back down again.

This engages half throttle. The choke is not engaged.

Check that the cutting disc is free to rotate.

Position your right foot over the lower part of the rear grip.

Pull the starter handle slowly with your right hand until resistance is felt.

Pull the starter handle vigorously.

When the motor fires for the first time (after 2 to 5 pulls of the starter), move the choke lever back

down to its original position.

Pull the starter handle vigorously and repeat this action until the engine starts.

The motor will flood if the starting procedure is repeated too many times with the choke

engaged.

Press the throttle trigger briefly as soon as the engine starts.

This disengages the half-throttle position and the engine then runs at idling speed when the

throttle is released.

2. If the following equipment exists, also take this action:

DSH 700-X
DSH 900-X

Press the decompression valve (once).

When starting the cold engine (only when cold), squeeze the primer bulb 2 to 3 times (until the primer

bulb is completely filled with fuel).

Press the throttle safety grip and keep it pressed.

Press the throttle trigger and keep it pressed.

Move the start/stop switch to the “start” position.

Release the throttle safety grip and throttle trigger.

This half-throttle position is activated.

Check that the cutting disc is free to rotate.

Position your right foot over the lower part of the rear grip.

Pull the starter handle slowly with your right hand until resistance is felt.

Pull the starter handle vigorously.

Repeat this action until the engine starts.

Press the throttle trigger briefly as soon as the engine starts.

This disengages the half-throttle position and the engine then runs at idling speed when the

throttle is released.

6.2

Checks after starting the engine

1. Check that the cutting disc remains stationary when the engine is idling and, after briefly running at full

speed, that the disc again comes to a complete standstill.

Readjust (reduce) the idling speed if the cutting disc doesn’t stop rotating when the engine is idling.

If this is not possible, please bring the product to
