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. 9b).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 9c) 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 which are diffi cult 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 suff ering 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. 9d).
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. 9e).
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 backwards 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. 9f 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 on to 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. 12c).
8. Press the line spool into the line spool housing.
9. Pull the two line ends sharply to release them from the line holders.
10. 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.
11. 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 a flat 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 fi lter (Fig. 10a-10c)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter (10) 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 inflammable solvents.

9.4 Maintenance of the spark plug
(Fig. 11a-11c)
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. emove the spark plug connector cover (20) as shown in Fig. 11a.
2. Pull out the spark plug connector (16). (Fig. 11b)
3. Remove the spark plug (Abb. 11c) with the supplied spark plug wrench (27).
4. Assemble in reverse order.

9.5 Carburetor settings
Important. Settings on the carburetor may only be made by authorized customer service personnel.
To carry out any work on the carburetor you must fi rst remove the air fi lter cover as shown in Figures 10a-10c.
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) 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
Important! Set the idling speed when the equipment is warm. Only an authorized  service center is allowed toset the idling speed. The start-up 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) at the lubrication point (C) (Fig. 7c).

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.
