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 the cutting head of the 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 cutting 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 from overheating. 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 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. 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 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 forward 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, 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.

Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, always turn off the engine and pull out the spark boot plug.

1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the engine.
2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.

Maintenance schedule

| 12 hours of use| 24 hours of use| 36 hours of use
Air filter| clean| clean| replace
Spark plug| check| clean| replace

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

1. 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
2. Take the spool plate out of the line spool housing. Fig. 36
3. Remove any remaining cutting line.
4. Place the new cutting line in the center and hang the loop that has formed into the recess in the spool splitter. Fig. 37
5. Wind the line onto the spool counter-clockwise and under tension. The spool splitter will separate the two halves of the line. Fig. 38
6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the line onto the opposite lying line holders of the spool plate. Fig. 39
7. Thread the two ends of the line through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing.
8. Press the spool plate into the line spool housing. Fig. 36
9. Pull the two line ends sharply to release them from the line holders.
10. Join the housing parts together again. Fig. 35
11. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13 cm. This will reduce the load on the engine when starting and warming up.
12. 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 cutting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade with a new one.
• Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vibrate violently­risk of accident!

Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 32 – 33

1. Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug using the socket spanner supplied.
2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3. Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.5-0.7 mm.
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spanner to compress the washer.

Clean the air filter Fig. 28 – 31
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supplying 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.

Checking the oil level

CAUTION!
Never run the engine with no or too little oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine. Use only SAE30 / 10W30 engine oil.

Checking the oil level (Fig. 45):

• Laying unit on a flat surface.
• Unscrew the oil dipstick by turning anticlockwise, pull out, and wipe. Insert the dipstick back in the filling mount as far as the stop.
• Pull out the dipstick again and read off the oil level while holding it horizontally. The oil level must be between the maximum and the minimum

Changing the oil (Fig. 44-45)

• Change the engine oil every year before the start of the season when the engine is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30 / 10W30).
• Open the oil filler screw ( 23).
• Drain the warm engine oil into a drip tray.
• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the dipstick (approx. 0.315 l).

Dispose of the used oil by applicable regulations.

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.
