Trimming around tree trunks
■
Guide the appliance slowly and carefully
around tree trunks so that the cutting line
does not touch the tree bark.
■
Trim from left to right around tree trunks.
■
Cut grass and weeds with the tip of the cut-
ting line and hold the cutter head with a slight
forward angle.
7.2 Mowing
■
Guide the cutter head in a smooth horizontal,
arc-shaped movement from one side to the
other.
■
Hold the cutter head parallel to the ground at
all times.
■
Long grass should be mown in several pass-
es. Always proceed from top to bottom.
■
The appliance cuts best at very high speed.
Therefore, do not overload the appliance by
cutting long grass.
Mowing with the spool
■
Tilt the cutter head at an angle of 30° to the
right to mow with the tip of the cutting line.
Walk forwards slowly.
■
Do not move the appliance directly against
hard obstacles (e.g. walls), but mow side-
ways. This protects the cutting line.
Mowing with the blade
■
It is essential to use the carrying belt.
■
Check the correct fitting of the blade prior to
mowing.
■
Do not use weed cutting blades for cutting
undergrowth and young trees.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to
kickback.
If the blade touches firm
obstacles, a kickback can
occur.
■
Do not mow close to
firm obstacles with the
blade.
8 TRANSPORT
Transporting the appliance between two
working areas
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Hold the trimmer firmly by the carrying belt
and the “Bike” handle.
3. Walk carefully to the next working area. Take
care not to endanger persons or animals.
Transporting the appliance in a vehicle
1. If possible: Empty the fuel tank by allowing
the engine to run.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Put the transport protection onto the blade.
4. Ensure that the appliance cannot tip over
while driving to prevent the petrol/oil mixture
from running out:
■
Place the appliance on the floor of the
vehicle so that the fuel tank cap is facing
upwards. The fuel tank must be securely
closed.
■
Fix the appliance to the floor of the vehi-
cle.
9 STORAGE
If you are not going to use the appliance for lon-
ger than 2 – 3 months, the following work is nec-
essary to avoid any damage:
1. Empty the fuel tank:
■
Allow the engine to run until it stops itself.
Then there is no longer any petrol/oil mix-
ture in the fuel tank and in the carburettor
and deposits cannot form.
2. Cleaning the appliance:
■
Wipe the entire appliance and accessory
parts with a cleaning rag. Do not use pet-
rol or other solvents.
■
Remove any dirt from all appliance open-
ings (including cooling openings for the
engine).
3. Oiling the cylinder:
■
Allow the device to cool down complete-
ly.
■
Pull off the spark plug connector and un-
screw the spark plug (see
chapter 10.5
"Maintaining the spark plug (16)",
page 53
).
■
Drop a little oil into the spark plug open-
ing.
