8.2.4 Changing spools of thread
To avoid the risk of unintentional starting, pull out
the spark plug connector.
- Pull off the cover for the spools of thread by
pressing the retaining tabs off the spools of thread
(14)
- Move the cover for the spools of thread to the
"off" position. Remove the spools of thread with
the thread residue and the compression spring.
- Remove the used winding (bobbin).
- Take the new thread spools and pull out 10 cm of
both threads.
- Now place the thread spools of thread (14) on the
tapered spring and guide both threads through
the eyes on the spools of thread case.
- Now place the thread spool cover on the new
spools of thread. Turn them so that the notches on
the thread spool cover align with the eyelets in the
spools of thread case.
- Now push the thread spool cover together with
the thread spools until it snaps into the thread
housing. Then put the thread spool cover in the
"On" position.
Because of the blade in the cutting guard (15), the
trimming thread is shortened to the correct length
when the machine starts up again.
8.2.5 Air filter cleaning
After prolonged work, you should clean the air
filter (5). Dust and pollen clog the pores of the
foam filter.
- Remove the cover (j) and wash the filter (k) in
slightly soapy water. Caution: Do not use petrol or
solvents.
- Dry the filter before reinserting it.
To avoid shortening the life of the engine, a
damaged air filter must be replaced immediately.
