WARNING: Do not remove any objects from
footpaths, etc. using the trimmer.
The trimmer is a powerful tool and can throw
small stones and other objects a distance
of 15 meters or more, causing injuries and
damage to cars, houses and windows.
7. Cleaning, maintenance,
storage, transport and ordering of
spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far
as possible. Wipe the equipment with a
clean cloth or using compressed air at
low pressure (ensure to blow it in a safe
direction).
• We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a
moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not
use cleaning agents or solvents; these
could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can
seep into the device.
7.2. Maintenance
Always switch off the machine and pull out
the spark boot plug before carrying out any
maintenance work.
7.2.1 Replacing the line spool / cutting line
1. Unscrew the retainer knob (Fig. N1/Item
G) in a counter-clockwise direction and
remove (Fig. N1/N2).
2. Remove the spool (Fig. N3/Item H) and the
spring (Fig. N3/Item I) from the spindle
(Fig. N3/Item J).
The following steps only have to be carried
out if only the line and not the entire spindle
requires replacing:
• Remove the remaining cutting line from
the spool.
• Hold the two halves of a new cutting line
together in the middle and place the loop
in one of the slots on the spool divider
(Fig. N4).
• Wind the line with tension in a clockwise
direction as shown in the illustration (Fig.
N5), with the two halves being separated
by the spool divider. Wind up all of the line
down to the last 15cm of each end.
3. Fasten each of the ends of the line in a slot
(Fig. N6/Item L) on the opposite side of the
spool.
4. Fit the spring (Fig. N3/Item I). on the inside
of the spool and thread each of the ends
of the line through one of the eyelets in the
spool holder (Fig. N3/Item K).
5. Insert the spool in the spool holder. Make
sure that the spring slides over the spindle
and does not get stuck.
6. Press the spool into the spool holder with
your hand and use your other hand to
fasten the retainer knob tightly (Fig. N7).
7. Give each end of the line a strong pull to
pull the line out of the slots.
8. Cut off all excess line to reduce it to
approx. 13 cm. This will reduce the load
on the engine when starting up and
warming up.
7.2.2 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. J1-J2)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by
preventing the air reaching the carburettor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air
filter should be checked after every 25 hours
of use and cleaned if necessary. If the air
contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be
checked more frequently.
1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig.J1-J2)
2. Remove the filter element.
3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or
blowing it.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Please note:
Never clean the air filter with
petrol or inflammable solvents. Clean the air
filter with compressed air or by tapping it.
7.2.3 Maintenance of the spark plug
(Fig. K1-K2)
Spark plug gap = 0,6 mm. Tighten the spark
plug with a torque of 12-15 Nm.
