Maintenance and Storage
Injury warning: Always wear protective gloves when
working on or around cutting tools.
When not in use, in transit or storage, always install transport
protection on all cutting tools. Before performing any
maintenance or cleaning work, always turn off the engine and pull
out the spark plug boot.
Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the engine.
Clean the unit with a cloth or hand brush, etc.
Expert examination required:
-
When the brush cutter hits an object.
-
When the engine suddenly stops.
-
If the blade is bent (do not straighten yourself!)
-
If the gearbox is damaged.
Regular checks
Keep in mind that the following specifications relate to normal
usage. Owing to circumstances (longer periods of daily work,
severe dust exposure, etc.), the specified intervals will become
correspondingly shorter.
Before the start of work and after refuelling
Check if cutting tools are positioned securely, examine the
product for any signs of damage or deterioration, and sharpen the
cutting blade.
If necessary:
Retighten accessible fastening screws and nuts. You will avoid
excessive wear and tear and damage of the tool when you follow
the instructions in this manual.
Replacing the spool line
1. Dismantle the line spool as described in the ‘Assembly’ section.
Press the spool together and remove one half of the housing.
2. Take the spool plate out of the line spool housing.
