Replacing the cutting cord
1. Remove the screw by turning it clockwise (Fig. 27).
2. Remove the coil and spring from the spindle (Fig. 27).
3. Remove the remaining cutting cord.
4. Fold a 5 m x 2,2 mm cord in half. Put the loop end into
the slot of the spool (Fig. 28). 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. 29).
6. Lead each cord end through the openings at the re-
spectively opposite side of the coil (Fig. 30).
7. Lead the spring over the spindle and thread the cord
ends through the eyelets in the housing (Fig. 31).
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. 31).
9. When the coil sits in its correct position in the hous-
ing, push it firmly into the housing so that the spring is
tensioned. Firmly pull at both ends of the cord so that
the cord cannot be pinched between the coil and hous-
ing. Maintain the spring tension through continuous
pressure on the coil in the housing and fix the screw
by turning it anticlockwise. Fasten the screw fingertight
only (Fig. 32).
10. Cut the cord to about 17 cm to avoid excessive load
to the engine during the starting and warm-up phase
(Fig. 15).
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 (Fig. 33+34)
To clean the air filter:
1. Remove the fixing screw (x) of the air filter cover (Fig.
33).
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. 35).
1. Pull the fuel suction head (A) out of the tank using a
hook or similar tool (Fig. 36).
2. Pull the suction head off by concurrently turning it (Fig.
36).
3. Replace the filter (D).
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.
SPARK PLUG
1. Spark plug air gap: 0,6-0,7mm (Fig. 37)
2. Tighten the spark plug with a torque of 12-15Nm. Put
the spark plug connector on the spark plug.
SHARPENING THE CORD CUTTER
1. Remove the cutter (E) from the protection cover (F)
(Fig. 38).
2. Put the cutter into a vice and fix it firmly. Sharpen the
cutter using a flat file. File with care and keep the
sharpening angle. Always file in one direction only.
TRANSPORT
• When transporting the tool by car, it must be positioned
so that it poses no danger, and secured.
• Make sure that no petrol escapes during transport. Avoid
damage and injuries.
• During transport and storage of the tool, the blade guard
must be attached.
STORAGE
1. Follow all aforementioned maintenance instructions.
2. Thoroughly clean the trimmer and grease the metal
parts.
3. Empty the fuel tank and screw the tank cap back on.
4. After the tank has been emptied, start the engine.
5. Let the engine idle until it stops to free the carburettor
from fuel.
6. Let the engine cool down (about 5 minutes).
7. Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench.
8. Fill a tea spoon of pure 2-stroke oil into the combustion
chamber. Pull the starter rope several times slowly to
distribute the oil inside the engine. Put the spark plug
back in.
9. Store the device in a cool, dry place where it is protected
from open flames and sources of heat as flow heaters,
oil-fired boilers etc.
ATTENTION: Any maintenance works that are not
explicitly described in these Operating Instructions
must be carried out by an authorized workshop.
To
ensure a consistent and proper operation use ORIGI-
NAL SPARE PARTS only.
REOPERATION
1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter rope quickly to its full extent to remove
any remaining oil from the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug and check the gap. Replace the
plug if required.
