6.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix. See “Fuel and oil”.
1.
Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2.
Set the choke lever (Fig. A/Item 10) to “ ”.
3.
Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. H) 10 times.
4.
Switch the ON/OFF switch (Fig. A/Item 6) to “I”.
6.
Press the throttle lock (Fig. A/Item 7) and hold the
equipment firmly with one hand with the throttle
lever fully depressed.
6.
With the other hand pull out the starter cable (Fig.
A/Item 11) until you feel it starts to resist. Then tug
sharply on the starter cable 4 times.
Important:
Never allow the starter cable to snap back. This
may damage the machine.
7.
Set the choke lever to half “ ”.
8.
Pull the starter cable again up to 8 times with the
throttle lever fully depressed. The engine should
start.
Important:
The cutting tool starts to operate
when the engine is started.
9.
After the engine has started, let it run for approx.
30 seconds to warm up and then move the choke
lever to Run “ ”.
If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 1-9
above.
Please note:
If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section “Engine
Troubleshooting”.
Please note:
Always pull the starter cable out in a
straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction
will occur on the eyelet. 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 may also cause damage to the cable
or the starter.
6.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the
equipment has not been switched off for more
than 15 – 20 minutes)
1.
Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2.
Switch the ON/OFF switch to “I”.
3.
Fully depress the throttle lever.
4.
Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the starter
cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug
sharply on the starter cable. The equipment
should start after 12 tugs. If the equipment does
not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 9 of the
procedure for starting the engine from cold.
6.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the machine
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to “Stop” or “0”
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to “Stop” or “0”.
6.4 Practical tips
Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the machine.
EXTENDING THE CUTTING LINE
WARNING:
Do not use any kind of metal wire or
metal wire encased in plastic in the cutting head. This
may cause serious injuries to the user.
To extend the cutting line run the motor at full speed
and tap (“BUMP”) the cutting head on the ground.
This will automatically extend the line. The blade on
the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate
length (Fig. M1).
Caution:
Remove all grass and weed remains at
regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube
overheating. Grass and weed remains become
trapped under the safety shield (Fig. M2) and they
prevent the shaft tube receiving adequate ventilation.
Remove the remains carefully using a screwdriver or
the like.
DIFFERENT CUTTING METHODS
If the machine is correctly assembled with the safety
hood and cutting head it will cut weeds and long
grass in places with difficult access, for example
along fences, walls and foundations and also around
trees. It can also be used for mowing work to remove
vegetation to allow the better preparation of a garden
or to clear a certain area down to the soil.
PLEASE NOTE:
Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will
result in the line suffering more than normal wear.
TRIMMING / MOWING
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the cutting head parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide what cutting height
you require. Guide and hold the cutting head at the
required height to ensure that you cut evenly (Fig.
M3).
LOWER TRIMMING
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle
so that the underside of the cutter head is above the
ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always
