Note : If the engine does not start up even after several attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshooting“.
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.
Note : Do not start the motor in tall grass.
Attention : When the engine has been switched off, the cutter continues running for several seconds therefore do not close to cutting head of brush cutter until the cutter has come to a standstill!
Working instructions
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 cut- ting line, run the engine at full speed and tap the line spool
on the ground. This will automatically extend the line. Fig. 41
The blade on the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate length.
Fig. 16
Important : Remove all grass and weed remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube over- heating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become trapped under the safety shield and prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like. Fig. 42
Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in
places which 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. Fig. 43
Attention : 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. 43
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 to- wards 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 in- jury to the user,
watchers and animals, and the danger of damaging property due to objects (for
example stones) being thrown.
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.
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. Fig. 42
Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade, there is a risk of recoil if it strikes solid
objects such as tree trunks, branch- es, 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.
Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, always turn off the engine and pull out the spark boot plug.
- Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the engine.
- Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.
Expert inspection is required:
- If the brush cutter strikes an object.
- If the motor stops suddenly
- If the blade is bent (do not align!)
- If the gears are damaged.
Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 35 – 39
- Dismantle the line spool (1) as described in section 8.4 Assembly. Press the spool together and remove one half of the housing. Fig. 35
- Take the spool plate out of the line spool housing. Fig. 36
- Remove any remaining cutting line.
- Place the new cutting line in the center and hang the loop which has formed into the recess in the spool splitter. Fig. 37
- Wind the line onto the spool counter-clockwise and under tension. The spool splitter will separate the two halves of the line. Fig. 38
- Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line onto the opposite lying line holders of the spool plate. Fig. 39
- Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing.
- Press the spool plate into the line spool housing. Fig. 36
- Pull the two line ends sharply to release them from the line holders.
- Join the housing parts together again. Fig. 35
- Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This will reduce the load on the engine when starting and warming up.
- Remount the line spool (see section 8.4). If you are replacing the complete line spool, skip points 3-6.
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.
Replacing and resharpening the cutting blade at the end of the mowing season always resharpen the cut- ting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade with a new one.
Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vibrate violently-risk of accident!
Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 32 – 33
- Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug using the socket spanner supplied.
- Clean the plug with a wire brush.
- Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.5-0.7 mm.
- Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
- After the spark plug is seated, tighten with spanner to compress the washer.
Clean the air filter Fig. 28 – 31
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supply- ing too little air to
the carburetor. Regular checks are therefore essential.
- Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element.
- To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace the air filter cover.
- Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse and allow drying naturally.
Important : Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents.
Warning!
Never run the engine without the air filter element installed.
Lubricate angle transmission Lubricate with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw and put in the grease, turning the shaft manually until grease emerges, then replace the screw.
