OPERATING MANUAL
Starting the engine
Danger: Start the unit outdoors only. Place and hold the unit
on a level surface according to Fig. 22.
1. Check the oil level and, if required, top up.
2. Refuel.
3. Put the ignition switch in the START (I) position (Fig. 19).
4. Slowly and fully press the intake pump 10 times. The fuel
must be visible in the pump (Fig. 20). If this is not the
case, press a further three times or until the fuel can be
seen.
5. Move the choke lever to position 1 (Fig. 20).
6. With the unit on the ground, press the throttle lock and
actuate the throttle. Hold down the throttle. Pull the
starter rope 5 x in a controlled and continuous
movement.
7. Move the choke lever to position 2 (Fig. 20).
8. To start the engine, pull the starter rope in a controlled
and continuous movement 1–4 times (Fig. 21).
NOTE: The engine uses Advanced Starting Technology™
(spring-supported starting process) which significantly
reduces the energy expenditure required to start the
engine. You must pull out the starter rope until the engine
starts by itself (spring-supported). It is not necessary to
pull violently on the rope – the pulled rope does not resist
greatly. Please note that this method of starting the
engine is quite different (and much easier) from what you
are used to.
9. Press on the throttle to warm up the engine for 15–30
seconds.
NOTE: At lower temperatures the engine may require longer
to warm up and reach maximum speed.
10. When the engine has warmed up, move the choke lever
to position 3 (Fig. 20). The unit is now ready to use.
IF… the engine does not start, repeat steps 4–10.
IF... It is not necessary to use the choke to start a hot engine.
Move the switch to the On [I] position and the choke
lever to position 2.
IF... Move the choke lever to position 3 if the engine floods
when attempting to start it. Press the throttle and pull the
starter cable. The engine must start after 3 (three) to 8
(eight) attempts.
Stopping the engine
1. Take your hand off the throttle. Leave the idling engine
to cool down.
2. Move the ignition switch to the STOP (O) position
(Fig. 19).
Holding the lawn trimmer
Before using the unit, place yourself in the operating position
(Fig. 22). 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
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. 23) while
running the lawn trimmer at a higher speed.
NOTE: The trim line should always have the 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 guard 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.
