5. Setting the cutting height
Shoulder strap:
1. Slip the shoulder strap (Fig. A/18) over the left
shoulder.
2. Hook the locking hook into eye B (Fig. H/3).
3. Set the length of the shoulder strap in such a
way that the cutting head or the cutting blade
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. I2).
Warning:
Always use the shoulder strap when using
the appliance. 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.
Important:
Remove the shoulder strap from the
appliance before you start the engine.
6. Starting up
Fuel and oil:
1. The engine of the power scythe is a 2-stroke
engine. For operation, it requires a mixture of
normal unleaded petrol and 2-stroke oil in a ratio
of 1:40 (see fuel mixture table).
2. It is advisable to mix a maximum of 5 liters of
petrol/oil mixture, since this quantity will give you
approx. 12-15 operational hours and an older
petrol/oil mixture does not guarantee the
optimum level of lubrication.
3.
Pour 125ccm of oil into a measuring jug and then
pour this oil into the 5 liter petrol can. Then
re-close the petrol can. Shake the petrol can
vigorously in order to mix the petrol and the oil.
4.
Pour approx. 0,5 liters of the petrol/oil mixture
into the measuring jug and then pour this into the
petrol tank using a suitable funnel (Fig. K).
Warning:
Never use pure petrol for your appliance.
Otherwise there is a danger of causing permanent
damage to the engine and as a result the
manufacturer's guarantee would not apply. Do not
use any petrol/oil mixture which has been kept for
longer than 90 days.
Warning:
Only use a petrol/oil mixture in a mixing
ratio of 1:40. Do not change the mixing ratio of your
own accord even if some types of 2-stroke oil
recommend a different mixing ratio. If insufficient
lubrication causes damage to the engine, the
manufacturer’s guarantee does not apply.

Starting the engine:
Important: You must first read the instructions for
starting the engine from a cold and a warm state,
and then carry out the appropriate start procedure.
Place the appliance on a hard, level surface, hold it
by the handle with one hand and pull the starting
handle on the tension cable with the other hand.
Important: In order to keep the load on the engine as
small as possible during start-up and warm-up, cut
the excess cutting line back to 13cm (Fig. N8).

STARTING THE ENGINE FROM A COLD
STATE
1.
Set the ignition switch to the "RUN (l)" position
(Fig. O/1).
2.
Secure the throttle lever: Press the “Lock off”
switch (Fig. O/3) downward. Then, at the same
time, press the throttle lever (Fig. O/4) and the
locking switch (Fig. O/2) at the same time. The
throttle lever locks into place on full throttle.
3.
The appliance has a choke, which can been set
in 3 positions: "CHOKE" , "START" and
"RUN " . Set the choke lever to "CHOKE"
(Fig. L/1).
4.
For starting purposes, spray fuel into the
carburetor. Press the pad ten times (Fig. L/2).
5.
Pull the starting cable out by a short amount,
until you feel resistance (approx. 10cm). For a
strong ignition spark, a smooth, sharp pull is
required. Pull the starting cable four times quickly
and forcefully.
6.
Set the choke lever to "START".
7.
Pull the starting cable four times again, whilst the
throttle lever is set to full throttle.
8.
If the engine starts, leave the lever on "START"
for 10 seconds.
9.
Set the choke lever to "RUN ".
10. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 1 to
9.
PLEASE NOTE:
If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
Troubleshooting”.
PLEASE NOTE:
Always pull the starting cable out in
a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then
friction will occur on the eye. As a result of this
friction, the cable will become frayed and will wear
away faster. Always hold the starter handle when the
cable retracts. Never allow the cable to snap back
when it has been pulled out. This would fray or wear
