STOPPING THE ENGINE
(Fig. 22)
Release the throttle lever. Let the engine idle. Push the ig-
nition switch to position “STOP”. The motor will now stop.
Emergency stop: If it should be necessary to stop
the tool immediately push the “STOP” button.
OPERATING ADVICE
- If you are not familiar with the trimmer train the handling
of the device with the engine not running (AUS /
STOP
).
- Always check the territory; solid objects as metal parts,
bottles, stones etc. may be hurled away and cause seri-
ous injuries or permanently damage the device.
Should
you touch a solid object with the trimmer shut the engine
off immediately (AUS /
STOP
) and examine the trimmer
for possibly existing damages. Do not use the device
when it is damaged or shows sign of defects
- Always trim and cut with the engine running in the higher
speed range. Do not let the engine run at low speed at
the beginning of or during the trimming.
- Use the device for its provided purpose only, i.e., trimming
and cutting grass and weeds.
- Never hold the cutting head higher than your knees during
operation.
- If working on a slope always stand with the cutting unit
above you. Only work on sloping sites if you stand on
firm ground.
TRIMMING
The trimmer – properly equipped with protection cover and
cutting head – trims high grass, brushwood and weeds
at places that are difficult to access along fences, walls,
foundations and around tree trunks. The trimmer may also
be used for cutting down to the ground (e.g., clean-out
works in the garden and in broken, thickly covered areas).
NOTE:
When trimming near foundations, stone walls
etc., even extreme care cannot avoid an increased wear
of the cutting cord.
TRIMMING / MOWING
Swing the trimmer in sickle-like movements from side to
side. Always hold the cutting head parallel to the ground.
Examine the territory and determine the desired cutting
height. Lead and hold the cutting head in the desired height
to achieve an even cutting result (Fig. 23).
TIGHT TRIMMING
Lead the trimmer straight with a slight angle in forward
direction so that it moves just over the ground. Always trim
away from your body, never lead it towards the operator
(Fig. 24).
TRIMMING AT FENCES AND FOUNDATIONS
To trim at fences, posts, stone walls and foundations lead
the device slowly and carefully without letting the cutting
cord touch any obstacles. If the cutting tool encounters any
solid obstacle (stone, wall, log etc.) there is the danger of
a kickback and higher wear and tear of the cutting cord.
TRIMMING AROUND TREE TRUNKS
Lead the trimmer carefully and slowly around tree trunks
so that the cutting cord does not touch the bark. Cut
around trees from left to right. Capture grass and weeds
with the tip of the cord and slightly tilt the cutting head in
forward direction.
MOWING AWAY
When mowing away, you capture the whole vegetation
down to the ground. To do so tilt the cutting head to the
left with an angle of 30 degrees. Adjust the handle to the
desired position. Be aware of the higher danger of injuries
for the operator, surrounding persons and animals, and
the danger of damages to property through hurled-away
objects (e.g., stones) (Fig. 24).
CUTTING WITH THE CUTTING BLADE
When cutting with the cutting blade, always wear protec-
tion goggles, face protection, protection clothes, and use
the shoulder strap.
SCYTHING
Guide the device with the thicket blade like a scythe to cut
rank growth, felted grass and brushwood. Do not use the
thicket blade for stronger woods.
IF THE CUTTING DEVICE GOT STUCK
Shrubs and trees may jam the cutting blade and cause
the blade to stop. Avoid the blade from getting stuck by
cutting through appropriate undergrowth and brushwood
from changing sides. If the cutting blade should, however,
got stuck stop the engine immediately. Hold the device
up an avoid that the cutting blade deformed by bending
or even breaks when you push the brushwood to be cut
away from the cutting blade.
AVOIDING KICKBACKS
When using metal cutting tools (thicket blade) there is
the danger of kickbacks if the tool gets in touch with
some solid object (tree trunks, branches, stones etc.). If
this should happen, the device is “kicked“ or thrown back
against the turning direction of the tool. This may lead to
the loss of control over the tool and to the danger of injury
for the operator and people nearby!
Do not use metal cutting tools near fences, metal
posts, boundary stones, or foundations.
Extending the cutting cord
To extend the cutting cord let the engine run at full throttle
and bump the cutting head (1) on the ground. The cord is
automatically extended. The cutter at the protection cover
cuts the cord to the required length (Fig. 25).
Important note: Do not use metal wire or plastic-
sheathed metal wire of any kind in the cutting head.
This may lead to serious injuries of the operator.
ATTENTION: Regularly remove any remainders of
grass and weed to avoid an overheating of the shaft
tube. Remainders of grass and weeds get caught
under the protection cover (Fig. 26) avoiding a
sufficient cooling of the shaft tube. Remove the
remainders carefully with a screwdriver or a similar
tool.
