PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE PETROL HEDGE TRIMMER
2. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may differ from town to town.
2.1 Starting the engine from cold (Fig. 3-5)
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix.
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 4/Item 5) to “ ”.
3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 4/Item 9) 10
times.
4. Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 3/Item 6) to “I”
5. Set the throttle lever to full throttle. To do so,
press the throttle lock (Fig. 3/Item 13).
6. With the other hand pull out the starter cable
(Fig. 5/Item A) until you feel it starts to resist
Now pull the starter cable repeatedly until the
equipment starts up.
Important:
Never allow the starter cable to snap
back. This may damage the equipment.
7. If the engine has started, set the choke lever
immediately to “ ” and allow the machine to
warm up for approx. 10 seconds.
8. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 6-7
above.
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.
2.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the machine has
not been switched off for more than 15 – 20 minutes)
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to “I”.
3. Hold the machine by the front handle in your
right hand and pull the starter cable up to the
first resistance point (approx. 10 cm). Then
tug sharply on the starter cable. The machine
should start after 1-2 tugs. If the machine does
not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 7 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
Never allow the machine to run at low speed for
starting or for cutting.
Cutting for dense growth:
The most effective
method is to use wide, sweeping movements,
guiding the cutting edge of the blade straight
through the branches. A slight incline of the blade
downwards towards the movement will produce
best cutting results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the
like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a
level height. The branches above it will be cut off.
(Fig. 6)
Cutting the side of a hedge:
Cut the sides of the
hedge with curve-shaped movements from the
bottom up. (Fig. 7)
Please note:
As a result of its design, if you work
with the machine on its side for a lengthy period and
the tank not completely filled, the motor may stall.
