Maintenance and cleaning
Caution
Before working on the unit:
– Switch off the engine.
– Wait until all moving parts have
come to standstill; the engine
must have cooled down.
– Remove spark-plug terminal
from the engine to prevent
the engine from starting
unintentionally.
Have all repairs carried out
by a specialist workshop only.
At the end of the season have
the unit inspected and serviced
by a specialist workshop.
Do not splash the unit with water,
otherwise electric components may
be damaged. Clean the unit after
every use. Failure to clean the unit
can damage the materials and
cause malfunctions.
Installing the cutting line
(depending on model)
Always use a replacement cutting
line with a diameter of 3.0 mm.
If using a cutting line which has
a length other than the one indica-
ted, the engine may overheat
or misfire. There are two methods
of replacing the cutting line:
– Winding a new line onto
the spool
– Fitting a spool with a prewound
line

hours take out the spark plug and
check its condition.

it to cool down.
