6.3 Topping up with fuel
Unscrew the tank cover (Fig. 1/Item 6) and fill in up to
0.65 liters of unleaded petrol using a filler neck. Make
sure that you do not overfill the tank and spill petrol. (If
you do spill any petrol, wipe it up and wait until the
vapors have evaporated (danger of ignition.)
Close the tank cap.
6.4 Topping up with oil
Open the oil filler screw (Fig. 14a/Item 38) and fill in
approx. 0.1 liters of engine oil (15W40) up to the top
mark (Max.) on the oil dipstick (Fig. 14b).
Important. The equipment must be filled with engine
oil and fuel before it is started.
7. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may differ from town to town.
Before starting up the equipment remove the
protective caps from the cutting blade (18).
7.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill an adequate amount of petrol into the tank.
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7) 10
times.
3. Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to “I”
4. Secure the throttle lever. To do this, press the
throttle lever lock (Fig. 1/Item 12) and then press
the throttle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11) and lock the
throttle lever by pressing the lock (Fig. 1/Item 10)
at the same time.
5. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to “ ”.
6. Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the starter
cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable 4 times. The
equipment should start.
Important: Never allow the starter cable to snap
back. This may damage the equipment.
Once the engine has started, move the choke
lever immediately to “ ” and allow the equipment
to warm up for approx. 10 seconds.
Important: Since the throttle lever is secured, the
cutting tool starts to operate when the engine is
started.
Then release the throttle lever by actuating it
once.
7. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 4-6
above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even after
several attempts, read the section “Engine
Troubleshooting”. Please 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.
7.2 Starting the engine when warm
(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to “I”.
3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as
described in “Starting the engine when cold”).
4. Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the starter
cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug
sharply on the starter cable. The equipment
should start after 1-2 tugs. If the equipment does
not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 7 of the
procedure for starting the engine from cold.
7.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to “Stop” or “0”
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to “Stop” or “0”.
7.4 Practical tips
Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the equipment.
Extending the cutting line
Warning! 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. The blade on the safety
shield will cut the line to the appropriate length (Fig.
9b).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remains at
regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating.
Grass and weed remains become trapped under the
safety shield (Fig. 9c) and they prevent the shaft tube
receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remains
carefully using a screwdriver or the like.
