7.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill the tank (Fig.1 / Item 6) with the required amount
of oil/petrol mix.
See “Fuel and oil”.
1.
Set the equipment down on a hard, level
surface.
2.
Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to “ “.
3.
Press the fuel pump “primer” (Fig. 1/ Item 7)
10 times.
4.
Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to “I”.
Secure the throttle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11). To
do this, press the throttle lever lock (Fig. 1/
Item 12).
5.
Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it start
to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter cable 4
times. The equipment should start.
6. Important!
Never allow the starter cable to
snap back. This may damage the equipment.
7.
Once the engine has started, move the choke
lever immediately to “ “and allow the
equipment to warm up for approx. 3 seconds.
Important!
Since the throttle lever (Fig.
1/Item 11) is secured, the cutting tool starts
to operate when the engine is started. Then
release the throttle lever by simply actuating
it (the engine then returns to running in idle
mode).
8.
If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 6-7
above.
Note:
If the engine does not start up even after
several attempts, read the section “Troubleshooting”.
Note:
Always pull the starter cable (Fig.1 /Item 4 )
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.
7.2 Starting the engine when warm
(The equipment has been in idle mode for less than
15-20 min.)
1.
Set the equipment down on a hard, level
surface.
2.
Switch the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to “I”.
3.
Secure the throttle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11) (in the
same way as described in “Starting the engine
when cold” Section 7.1).
4.
Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it start
to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter cable.
The equipment should start after 1-2 tugs. If the
equipment does not start after 6 pulls, repeat
steps 1 – 7 of the procedure for “starting the
engine from cold,” Section 7.1.
7.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to
“Stop” or “0”.
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11) and wait
until the engine has changed to idling speed. Then
set the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to “Stop” or “0”.
7.4 Practical tips
Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the equipment.
Extending the cutting line
Warning!
Do not use any kind of metal wire or
metal wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This
may cause serious injuries to the user.
To extend the cutting line run the engine at full speed
and tap the line spool on the ground. This will
automatically extend the line.
Important!
Do not
tap the line spool too hard on the ground as this will
damage the line spool. The blade on the safety shield
will cut the line to the appropriate length (Fig. 9b).
Important!
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. 9c) and they
prevent the shaft tube receiving adequate
ventilation. Remove the remains carefully using a
screwdriver or the like.
Different cutting methods
If the equipment is correctly assembled 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.
Note:
Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will
result in the line suffering above normal wear.
