Always use clean, fresh lead-free

petrol (maximum 60 days old).

Fill the tank with petrol.

n Remove the tank cap.

n Fill fuel tank. Never overfill!

n Firmly close the petrol tank again.

n Move the unit approx. 10 m

from the filling station/fuel

container before starting the

engine.

See instructions on mixing oil

and petrol

Age and/or incorrectly mixed fuel

are the main reasons for the unit

not running properly. Use fresh,

clean, lead-free petrol only.

Follow exactly the instructions for

the correct petrol/oil mixture.

Correctly mix two-stroke engine oil

and lead-free petrol, 1:40 (2.5 %).

Operating manual

Starting the engine

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 theengine is quite

different (and much easier) from

what you are used to.

n Mix petrol (gasoline) with oil.

Fill the tank with the mixture.

See instructions on mixing oil

and petrol.

n Put the ignition switch in the

START [I] position (Fig. 9).

Tip:

If starting a unit which has not been

used for a long time (or brand new or

difficult to start), press the intake

pump 20 times.

n Slowly and fully press the intake

pump (7) 10 times. The fuel must

be visible in the pump (Fig. 10). If

this is not the case, press a further

three times or until the fuel can be

seen.

On appliances with

a choke lever

n Move the choke lever to position 1

(Fig. 10).

n Place the unit on the ground,

actuate the choke and hold down

the lever. Pull the starter cord

three times in a controlled,

constant movement (Fig 11).

n Move the choke lever to position 2

(Fig. 10).

n To start the engine, pull the starter

rope (8) in a controlled and

continuous movement 1–5

times (Fig. 11).

n 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.

The unit has warmed up adequately

when the engine accelerates without

faltering.

n When the engine has warmed up,

move the choke lever to position 3

(Fig. 10). The unit is now ready

to use.

If the engine falters, move the

choke lever to position 2 (Fig. 10)

and leave the engine to warm

up longer.

If the engine does not start, repeat

steps 3–7.

Notes:

– 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.

– Move the choke lever to position

3 if the engine floods when

attempting to start it. Press the

throttle. Pull on the starter rope.

The engine must start after

3 (three) to 8 (eight) attempts.

On appliances without

a choke lever

n Pull the starter rope in controlled

and continuous movement, until

the engine starts (Fig. 11).

NOTE: During the starting

process do not actuate the

throttle.

n After starting the engine, wait

10–15 seconds before you

actuate the throttle.

Notes

If the engine fails to start repeat the

procedure.

Operating instruction English

Stopp the engine

n Take your hand off the throttle (1)

(Fig. 9). Leave the idling engine

to cool down.

n Move the ignition switch to the

Stop (O) position (Fig. 9).

Hold the appliance

Before using the unit, place yourself

in the operating position (Fig. 12).

Check the following:

n The user is wearing eye protection

and the correct clothing.

n Your right arm is bent slightly and

your hand holds the shaft handle.

n Your left arm is straight and holds

the D-shaped handle.

n The unit is below waist height.

n 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.

LEZIGSQIXSEWXST

Trimmer

To operate the appliance

as a trimmer you must move the

toggle to the top position before

starting the appliance.

Blower

To operate the appliance

as a blower you must move the

toggle to the bottom position before

starting the appliance.

Toggling

n Switch off the engine and wait

until all moving parts have come

to a stop.

n Press the red toggle lock (2)

on the toggle (1) until the lock

is released (Fig 14).

n Move the toggle to the respective

position (top/bottom) until the red

toggle lock engages correctly.

n Starting the engine again.

Tips for best trim results

n Keep the cutting attachment

parallel to the ground.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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. 13).

Tips on operating the blower

n Excessive noise can be avoided

when the appliance is operated

at the required speed.

n Use a rake or sweep to collect

together loose leaves before using

the blower.

n In dusty conditions moisten the

ground slightly. This helps to

suppress excessive dust clouds

when the appliance is operating.

n Keep an eye on persons, children,

animals, open windows, etc.,

when using the blower.

n After using the appliance collect

and dispose of the collected

leaves or other material.

Maintenance and repair

Installing the precut

replacement cord

Use only original replacement cords

with a diameter of 2.67 mm that the

manufacturer has approved. Cords

with other specifications can cause

the engine to overheat or damage

the appliance.

n Introduce each end of the

replacement cord into the holes

next to the mounting hooks

(Fig 15).

n Feed in the cord ends until they

project out of the cord head

on the left and right (Fig 16).

n Pull out both cord ends (Fig 17).

The cord ends must have the

same length on each side.

If necessary push back the longer

and pull out the shorter end

to make up for the difference.

n Press the trimming cord behind

the mounting hook to secure this

(Fig 18).

Servicing the air filter

Remove the air filter/muffler

cover

n Set the choke lever (if provided)

spark plug.

n Screw in spark plug and tighten

to a torque of 12.3–13.5 Nm.

Do not tighten too tightly.

Cleaning

Use a small brush for cleaning the

outside of the unit. Do not use

abrasive detergents. Household

cleaners which contain aromatic oils

such as pine oil or lemon as well as

solvents such as kerosene may

damage the plastic housing and

cloth.

Storage

– Never store the unit with fuel in the

tank or where fumes are within

reach of a spark or naked flame.

– Before storing the unit, leave the

engine to cool down.

– Store the dry unit locked away

or high up to prevent

unauthorised use and damage.

Long-term storage

If the unit is to be stored for

a prolonged period, proceed

as follows:

n Drain all the fuel out of the tank

and pour into a container with

the same two-stroke mixture.

Do not use fuel which has been

stored for longer than 60 days.

n Start the engine and leave running

until it stops. This ensures that

there is no fuel left in the

carburettor.

n Leave the engine to cool down.

Take out the spark plug and pour

a high-quality engine oil or two-

stroke oil into the cylinder. Slowly

pull the starter rope to distribute

the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.

Note

Before starting the lawn trimmer

after storage, take out the spark

plug and pour all the oil out of the

cylinder.

n Thoroughly clean the unit and

check for loose and damaged

parts. Repair or replace damaged

parts and tighten loose screws,

nuts and bolts. The unit can now

be stored.

n Store the unit locked away or high

up to prevent unauthorised use
