out (with compressed air).
4.) Assembly takes place in the reverse order.
CAUTION!
• Never clean the air filter with petrol or
flammable solvents.
Spark plug maintenance
1.) Pull off the spark plug connector.
2.) Unscrew the spark plug using the spark plug
wrench supplied.
3.) Assembly takes place in the reverse order.
Electrode gap = 0.6 mm (distance between
the electrodes between which the ignition
spark is generated). Check the spark plug
for contamination after the first 10 hours of
operation and clean it with a copper wire brush if
required.
Afterwards, service the spark plug after every 50
hours of operation.
Grinding the protective guard bladeThe blade
can become blunt over time. If you find this to
be the case, undo the 2 screws that hold the
blade onto the cutting filament protective guard.
Clamp the blade in a vice. Grind the blade with
a sharpening stone and make sure you maintain
the angle of the cutting edge.
Adjusting the carburetor
Remove the cover of the air filter housing.
Adjusting the throttle cable
If the appliance no longer reaches maximum
speed after a while and all other causes as
described in the "Troubleshooting" section have
been ruled out, this may mean that the throttle
cable needs to be adjusted. To adjust the throttle
cable, screw in the screw or the adjusting screw
as well as the lock nut correctly.
Lubricating the gears
• Add liquid gear grease after every 20 hours of
operation (approx. 10 g) to lubricate the angle
gear.
• To do this, undo the screw to press the gear
grease into the gear housing.
• After filling the gearbox, close the lubrication
hole with the screw
Storage and transportation
• Store the appliance in a safe location.
• Store the appliance and accessories in a safe
location which is protected against naked flames
and sources of heat/sparks, such as gas-powered
water heaters, dryers, oil stoves or mobile heaters,
etc.
• Ensure that the protective guard, the strimmer
and the engine are free of cutting residue when
storing.
• The plastic cover for the 3-section cutting blade
must be refitted for transport and storage.
• Always turn the appliance off before performing
any maintenance work and remove the spark
plug connector.
Storing the applianceThe appliance must be
prepared for storage if it is to be stored for longer
than 30 days. Otherwise the residual fuel in the
carburettor will evaporate and leave a gooey
sediment. This may make starting the appliance
more difficult and result in expensive repair work.
1.) Remove the filler cap to relieve any pressure
in the fuel tank . Carefully empty the fuel tank.
2.) To remove all fuel from the carburettor, start
the engine and leave it to run until it stops.
3.) Allow the engine to cool for about 10 minutes.
4.) Remove the spark plug.
5.) Add 1 teaspoon of 2-stroke oil to the
combustion chamber. Pull the starter pull cord
several times in order to wet all mechanical parts
with oil. Replace the spark plug.
NOTE
• Store the appliance in a dry place and away
from possible ignition sources.
Start-up after storage
1.) Remove the spark plug.
2.) Pull the starter pull cord quickly in order
to remove any excess oil from the combustion
chamber.
3.) Clean the spark plug and observe the correct
electrode gap on the spark plug.
4.) Fill the fuel tank.
