  • That there are no leaks in the fuel system.
  • That the equipment is in perfect condition and that the safety devices and cutting devices are complete.
  • That all screws are securely fastened.
  • That all moving parts move smoothly.

6.1 Topping up with fuel
Remove the tank lid (Fig. 1 / Item 6) and pour petrol into the tank using a filler opening.
Make sure that you do notoverfi ll the tank and spill petrol.
(If you do spill any petrol, wipe it up and wait until the vapors have evaporated (danger of ignition.) Close the tank cap.

6.2 Topping up with oil
Open the oil filler screw (Fig. 14a/Item 10) and pour in approx. 0.01 liters of engine oil up to the top mark (Max.) on the oil dipstick (Fig. 14b).
Note! The equipment must be filled with engine oil and fuel before it is started.

Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise abatement may differ from one location to another.
Before starting up the equipment remove the protective caps from the cutting blade.

7.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill an adequate amount of petrol into the tank.

  1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.

  2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7) 10 times.

  3. Put the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to „I“.

  4. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to „ „.

  5. Grip the device firmly and pull the starter cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) out until you feel the first resistance. Then tug sharply on the starter cable 6 times. The device should start.
    Note! Never allow the starter line to snap back. This may result in damage. Once the engine has started, move the choke lever immediately to “ ” and allow the device to warm up for approx. 10 seconds.

  6. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 4-5 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 cord 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

  3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7) 10 times.
  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 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.

7.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment 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”.

7.4 Practical tips
Practice all operating techniques with the engine switched off before you start to use the equipment.

Working with the petrol power scythe

Extending the cutting line
Caution! 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. The blade on the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate length (Fig. 26).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube from overheating. Lawn, grass, and weed remnants become trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 27) and prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like.

Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in places that are difficult to access, e.g. along fences, walls, and foundations, and also around trees. It can also be used for „mowing“ down vegetation so that a garden can be better prepared or a certain area cleared 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 line spool parallel to the ground. Check the site and decide which cutting height you require. Guide and hold the line spool at the required height to obtain an even cut (Fig. 28).

Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle so that the underside of the line spool is above the ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer towards yourself.

Cutting along fences/foundations
Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural stone walls, and foundations slowly so that you can cut close to them without striking the obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone walls, or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line strikes wire fencing, it will break.

Trimming around trees
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool forwards slightly. Warning! Take extreme care during mowing work. When doing such work keep a distance of 30 meters between yourself and other people or animals.

Mowing
When mowing, you want to cut all the vegetation down to the ground. To do this, set the line spool at an angle of 30° to the right. Place the handle in the required position. Remember the increased risk of injury to the user, watchers, and animals, and the danger of damaging property due to objects (for example stones) being thrown up (Fig. 29).

Warning!
Do not use the equipment to remove objects from footpaths, etc. The equipment is a powerful tool and can throw small stones and other objects a distance of 15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage to cars, houses, and windows.

Sawing
The equipment is not suitable for sawing. Jamming If the cutting blade jams as a result of attempting to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub from the equipment before you restart it.

Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid objects such as tree trunks, branches, tree stumps, stones, or the like. This will throw the equipment backward in the direction opposite to the rotation of the tool. This can cause you to lose control of the equipment. Do not use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones, or foundations. For cutting dense stalks, position the blade as shown in Fig. 30 to prevent recoil.

Maintenance

Always switch off the equipment and pull out the spark boot plug before carrying out any maintenance work.

9.1 Replacing the line spool/cutting line

  1. Dismantle the line spool (13) as described in section 5.1.6. Press the spool together (Fig.  12a) and remove one-half of the housing (Fig.12b).

  2. Take the line spool out of the line spool housing (Fig. 12c).

  3. Remove any remaining cutting line.

  4. Place the new cutting line in the center and attach the resulting loop to the recess in the spool splitter (Fig. 12d).

  5. Wind the line onto the spool counter-clockwise with tension.
    The spool splitter will separate the two halves of the nylon line (Fig. 12e).

  6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line to the line holders opposite the line spool (Fig. 12f).

  7. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing (Fig. 12b).

  8. Press the line spool into the line spool housing (Fig 12a).

  9. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This will reduce the load on the engine when starting up and warming up.

  10. Fit the line spool again. See section 5.1.6. If you are replacing the complete line spool, ignore points 3-6.

9.2 Grinding the safety hood blade
The safety hood blade can become blunt over  time. When you notice this, undo the screw holding the safety hood blade on the safety hood.
Clamp the blade in a vise. Sharpen the blade with afl at file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction only.

9.3 Maintenance of the air filter
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supplying too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked after every 25 hours of use and cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked more frequently.

  1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 10a).
  2. Remove the filter element (Fig. 10b/10c).
  3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing it.
  4. Assemble in reverse order.
    Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or infl flammable solvents.

9.4 Maintenance of the spark plug
Spark plug sparking gap = 0.6mm. Tighten the spark plug with a torque of 12 to 15 Nm. Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

  1. Pull out the spark plug connector (20) (Fig. 11a).
  2. Remove the spark plug (Abb. 11b) with the supplied spark plug wrench (26).
  3. Assemble in reverse order.

9.5 Carburetor settings
Important. Settings on the carburetor may only be made by authorized customer service personnel.
The air filter cover must be removed before any work on the carburetor, as shown in Figures 10a10c.

Setting the throttle cable:
If the maximum speed of the equipment drops over time and you have ruled out all the other possible causes listed in section 12 „Troubleshooting“, it may be necessary to adjust the throttle cable. First of all, check whether the carburetor opens fully when the throttle handle is pressed right through. This is the case if the carburetor slide (Fig. 13a) is completely opened when the throttle is fully activated. Figure 13a shows the correct setting. If the carburetor slide is not completely open, it must be adjusted. The following steps are required to adjust the throttle cable:

  • Undo the lock nut (Fig. 13b/Item C) for a few turns.
  • Undo the adjusting screw (Fig. 13b/Item D) until the carburetor slide is completely open when the throttle is fully activated, as shown in Figure 13a.
  • Retighten the lock nut.

9.6 Setting the idling speed
Note! Set the idling speed when the equipment is warm.
The idling speed may only be adjusted by an authorized service center.
The starting speed of the cutting tool must be at least 1.25 times the idling speed.

9.7 Applying grease to the gear unit
After every 20 hours of use add a little gear grease (approx. 10 g.) to the lubrication nipple (C) (Fig. 7c).

9.8 Changing the oil and checking the oil level (before using the equipment)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is at working temperature. In this connection, please also read the service information.

  • Keep a suitable, leak-tight receptacle within reach when performing an oil change.
  • Open the oil filler plug (Fig. 14a-14b / Item 10).
  • Drain the used oil into a suitable receptacle by tilting the engine.
  • Fill in engine oil up to the top mark (Max.) on the oil dipstick (Fig. 14b).
  • Dispose of the used oil properly by taking it to a collection point. Most filling stations, repair garages, and recycling centers will accept used oil-free of charge. Do not add antifreeze or transmission fluid to the used oil. Keep used oil out of the reach of children and away from sources of ignition.

Cleaning, storage, transport, and ordering of spare parts

10.1 Cleaning

  • Keep the handles free of oil so that you can maintain a firm grip.
  • Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.

Important!
Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before carrying out any cleaning. Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.
Store the equipment in a safe and dry place out of the reach of children.

10.2 Storage
Important: Never put the equipment into storage for longer than 30 days without carrying out the following steps.
Important information about storage! Store the petrol device as shown in Fig. 15a. If it is stored suspended or upright (Fig. 15b) or sideways, this will cause engine oil to flow into the combustion chamber, which will prevent the device from starting.

Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30 days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly. Otherwise, the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will evaporate and leave rubbery sediment. This can cause problems when starting up the equipment and may require expensive repairs.

  1. Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pressure that may have formed in the tank. Carefully empty the tank.
  2. To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine and let it run until it stops.
  3. Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).

Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and far away from possible ignition sources such as an oven, a gas-fi red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red dryer, etc.

Putting the equipment back into operation

  1. Remove the spark plug (see section 9.4).
  2. Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap is correct, or insert a new spark plug with the correct electrode gap.

10.3 Transport
To transport the machine, empty the petrol tank as described in section 10. Clean coarse dirt off the equipment with a brush or hand brush. Dismantle the drive
rod mechanism as described in section 5.1.2.
