faltering.

Starting with a warm engine

 Move the ignition switch (1) to

the I/On position (Fig. 9).

 Move choke (6) lever to position

3/ (Fig. 11).

 Press the unit on the ground.

 Slowly pull on the starter cable (7)

until it begins to resist. Then pull

quickly and forcefully until the

engine starts (Fig. 12).

After starting the engine, do not let

the pull-starter spring back, but

slowly guide it back.

Note

If the engine does not start, move

the choke (6) to position 2/ .

When the engine has started,

move the choke (6) back to position

 Release throttle (3). Leave the

idling engine to cool down.

 Move the ignition switch (1) to

the 0/Stop position.

Note

If the engine does not stop when the

ignition switch is actuated, move the

choke (6) to position 1/ to force

the engine to stop (Fig. 11). Before

using the unit again, have the ignition

switch checked by a repair shop!

Holding the lawn trimmer

Before using the unit, place yourself

in the operating position (Fig. 13).

Check the following:

– The user is wearing eye protection

and the correct clothing.

– The shoulder belt has been set to

the correct height.

– The handle bar has been set in

such a way that you can grip it

with both hands without having

to stretch out your arms.

– The unit is below waist height.

– Hold the cutting attachment

parallel to the ground so that the

vegetation to be cut can easily be

reached without the user having

to bend forward.

Setting the length of the

trimmer line

(depending on model)

You can release the trim line with

the bump knob cutting attachment

without stopping the engine.

To release more line, tap the cutting

attachment on the ground (Fig. 14)

while running the lawn trimmer at

ahigher speed.

Note

The trim line should always be at

max. length. The shorter the trim line

becomes, the more difficult it is to

release.

Each time the head is bumped,

approx. 25 mm of cutting line are

released. A blade in the cutting

attachment cover cuts the line back

to the correct length if too much line

is released.

It is best to bounce the bump head

on bare ground or hard earth. If you

attempt to release the trim line in tall

grass, the engine may stall. Always

keep the trim line fully extended.

The shorter the trim line is, the more

difficult it is to release.

Note

Do not run the bump head along

the ground.

The line may break by:

– becoming entangled with

foreign objects,

– normal material fatigue,

– attempting to cut thick-stalked

weeds,

– striking walls, garden fences, etc..

Tips for best trim results

– Keep the cutting attachment

parallel to the ground.

– Use only the tip of the line for

cutting, especially along walls.

If more than the tip is used for

cutting, the cutting capacity is

reduced and the engine may

overload.

–

Cut grass which is taller than 20 cm

from the top down in small stages

to prevent premature wear of the

line and engine resistance.

– If possible, cut from left to right.

Cutting to the right improves

the cutting capacity of the unit.

Grass clippings are then ejected

by the user.

– Slowly move the lawn trimmer at

the required height in and out of

the cutting area. Walk either

forwards and backwards or from

side to side. Better results are

achieved by cutting shorter pieces.

– Cut dry grass and weeds only.

The service life of the cutting line

depends on the following:

– Follow the previous cutting tips,

– for the vegetation which is to be cut,

–where it is cut.

For example, a line wears out

more quickly if it is cutting against

a house wall than around a tree.

Decorative cutting

You will receive a decorative cut if

you cut all vegetation around trees,

posts, fences, etc.

Rotate the whole unit until you are

holding the cutting attachment at an

angle of 30° to the ground. (Fig. 15).

Working with the cutting

blade (depending on model)

Before using the unit, place yourself

in the operating position (Fig. 13).

See “Holding the lawn trimmer”.

Tips for working with the

cutting blade:

– Cut rhythmically.

– Stand firmly but comfortably on

the ground.

– Before you start cutting, set the

unit to full speed. At full speed the

blade has maximum cutting force

and will therefore not jam so easily,

stick or cause blade impacts

which may result in serious injury

to the user or other persons.

– When cutting, move the upper

part of your body from right to left.
