5. Before starting the equipment
 
5.1 Assembly

5.1.1 Assembly of the long handle (Fig. D-E)

Remove the transport guard cap from the 
lower long handle. Slacken the star grip screw 
(Fig. D/Item A) on the connecting piece 
on the upper long handle (Fig. D/Item B). 
Carefully slide the lower long handle (Fig. D/
Item C) into the connecting piece on the 
upper long handle.
When doing so, take care to ensure that 
the drive shafts on the insides of the long 
handles slide into each other (turn the spool 
head gently, if required) and that the lock on 

the lower long handle (Fig. E/Item D) latches 
securely in the connecting piece.
Now retighten the star grip screw (Fig. D/Item 
A). To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.

5.1.2 Fitting the guard hood (Fig. F1–F2)

Attach the safety guard to the lower long handle 
(Fig. F1). Screw the safety guard tightly in position 
using the screw, washer and locknut (Fig. F2).

5.1.3 Fitting the carrying strap (Fig. G)

The carrying strap is intended to help you 
work safely and ergonomically with the petrol 
grass trimmer. Hook the carrying strap into the 

fastening eyelet (Fig. G/Item 9).

Check that all moving parts move smoothly 
before you start using the machine. Check 
that all screws are securely fastened and also 
check all the safety devices.

5.1.4 Fitting the additional handle (Fig. G1–G3)

Slacken the wing nut on the fastening screw on 

the handle (Fig. G1/Item 1). Remove the nut 
and the fastening screw (Fig. G1/Item 3) from 

the handle clip the additional handle over 

the long shaft (Fig. G2). Insert the fastening 

screw through the additional handle and then 

clamp tightly by fitting the wing nut (Fig. G3).

5.2 Setting the cutting height

•  Slip the shoulder strap (Fig. B/Item 17) over 

the left shoulder.

•  Set the length of the shoulder strap in such 

a way that the cutting head runs parallel 
to the ground. In order to establish the 
optimum length of the shoulder strap, 
you should then make a few swinging 
movements without starting the engine (Fig. I).

Please note:

 Always use the shoulder strap 

when using the machine. Attach the strap as 
soon as you have started the engine and the 
engine is running in idle mode. Switch off the 
engine before you take off the shoulder strap.
Check the machine for the following each 
time before use:

•  That there are no leaks in the fuel system
•  That the cutting unit and all safety devices 

are in perfect condition

•  That all screws are securely fastened

Sound and vibration were measured in 

accordance with EN ISO 27917, 10884/7916.
