Turning the engine off
Emergency stop sequence
If the device needs to be stopped immediately, turn the on/off switch
to
"0".
Normal sequence
■ Release the throttle lever and wait until the engine has switched to its
idling speed. Then turn the on/off switch to "0".
IMPORTANT!
■ The cutting blade must be stationary when the engine is idling.
If the cutting blade is rotating adjust the carburettor!
Optimal working procedures
Before using the device, practice all the operating techniques (see fi g. 9a -
9c) while the engine is switched off .
Extending the cutting line
To extend the cutting line, run the engine at full speed and tap the line
spool
on the fl oor. The line extends automatically. The blade on the
cutting line protective hood
shortens the line to the permitted length
(see fi g. 9d).
IMPORTANT!
Lawn/grass/undergrowth remains get caught under the cutting blade
protective hood
.
■ Remove the remains using a scraper or similar item when the engine
is switched off .
Various cutting methods
Trimming/mowing (cutting blade or line spool)
■ Swing the device in a sickle-like mowing movement (see fi g. 9a).
■ Hold the cutting tool parallel to the fl oor and adjust the desired cutting
height.
Low trimming (with line spool)
■ Hold the device over the ground at a slight angle (see fi g. 9b). Always
cut away from the body. Never pull the device towards you.
Short mowing (with line spool)
■ Short mowing removes all the vegetation down to the ground. Angle
the line spool 30 degrees to the right. Adjust the handle to the desired
position (see fi g. 9c).
Cutting against trees/fences/foundations (with line spool)
NOTE
■
The line will quickly wear or fray if it comes into contact with trees,
rocks, walls or foundations. The line will break off if it strikes fence
mesh.
IMPORTANT!
■ Do not use the device to remove any objects from footpaths, etc.!
The petrol-driven scythe is a powerful device and small rocks or other
objects can be catapulted 15 metres or more and cause injuries or
damage to cars, houses and windows.
Seizing
Immediately turn off the engine if the cutting tool becomes blocked.
Remove all grass and scrub from the device before restarting the device.
Prevent kickback
When working with the cutting blade there is a risk of kickback if it strikes
against solid obstacles (tree trunk, branch, tree stump, rock or the like). This
will result in the cutting tool being catapulted back against the direction of
rotation. This may lead to the loss of control of the device. Do not use the
cutting blade near fences, metal posts, boundary stones or foundations. To
cut small woody plants, position the device as displayed in fi g. 9e in order
to prevent any kickback.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning
NOTE
■
Clean the device thoroughly after every use.
■ Always turn the device off before performing any cleaning work and
remove the spark plug connector.
■ Clean the device regularly with a moistened cloth and a mild detergent.
Make sure that no water can penetrate into the device interior.
Replacing the line spool/cutting line
1.) The line spool must be removed as described in the "Installing/
replacing the line spool" section. Compress the line spool
(see fi g.
12a) and remove one half of the housing (see fi g. 12b).
2.) Remove the spool disc
from the line spool housing (see fi g. 12c +
12d).
3.) Remove any remaining cutting line.
4.) Fold the new cutting line in the centre and insert the resulting loop into
the spool disc recess (see fi g. 12d).
5.) Tightly wind the line in a counter-clockwise direction. The spool disc
separates the two halves of the cutting line (see fi g. 12e).
6.) Hook the last 15 cm of the two line ends into the opposite spool disc
line holder (see fi g. 12f).
7.) Feed the two line ends through the metal eyelets in the line spool housing
(see fi g. 12f).
8.) Push the spool disc into the line spool housing (see fi g. 12f).
9.) Re-connect the two halves of the housing.
10.) Give the two line ends a quick and vigorous tug to remove these from
the line holders (see fi g. 12g).
11.) Cut any excess line back to about 13 cm. This reduces the load on
the engine when starting and warming up.
12.) Re-install the line spool (see "Installing/replacing the line spool"
chapter). Skip points 3-6 if you are replacing the entire line spool.
Air fi lter maintenance
Contaminated air fi lters reduce the engine output due to low air supply to
the carburettor.
Regular inspection is essential. The air fi lter
must be inspected after
every 25 hours of operation and cleaned if necessary.
