Starting / Stopping the engine ; Using your power tool
ENGLISH 11
Note: Under good conditions, the engine will
already start under idling throttle if it is at operating
temperature. (If a part throttle stop is set it will be
cancelled by operation of the throttle control even
if the engine is at standstill.)
Starting with the stop switch in run-position
If the engine will not start under idling throttle, set
a part throttle stop in the way described above.
6.4 Turning off the engine:
Release the throttle and push the stop switch to
”STOP”.
Important: Due to the centrifugal clutch, the cutter
will run on for a short time, even if you release the
throttle. Ensure the cutter has come to a full
standstill before storing the machine.
6.5 Engine will not start:
If the engine fails to start after several attempts,
check whether all adjustments described above
have been correctly carried out, particularly that
the stop switch is not in the "STOP" position. Try
starting once again. The combustion chamber will
be flooded, if the engine still fails to start.
In that case we recommend you proceed as
follows:
Stop switch on "STOP"
 Remove the spark plug cover.
 Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug.
 Remove the spark plug and dry fuel mixture
from the electrodes.
 Move the throttle lever up to full throttle. Pull the
starter handle several times (with removed
spark plug) to clear the combustion chamber.
 Move the throttle lever down to idling position,
refit the spark plug, the plug cap and the plug
cover.
 Then:
- Position choke lever down ("warm start")
- Slide stop switch into operating position
- Lock the throttle lever at half throttle
- Turn on engine.
7. Using your power tool
7.1 Scope of Application
Only use power tools equipped with a nylon head
for cutting grass – particularly suitable around
obstacles - and for trimming light weeds and wild
growth near ground level. The nylon head is
particularly suitable for a soft cut, e.g. for clean
trimming around trees and posts.
Never use the power tool for any other purpose.
7.2 Initial use/ start-up behaviour
When switching on the engine for the first five
times prior to commencing work, first operate for a
short time in the mid-speed range without any load
until the engine has warmed up a little.
7.3 Correct operating mode
Observe the relevant safety instructions when
using the power tool.
Approach the working area with the power tool set
to idle, and then switch to full throttle. Never leave
the engine running at high speed without applying
a load.
(schematic diagram)
Dip the tool from the r.h. side 2/3 into the material
to be trimmed. Then work the power tool like a
scythe, i.e. by moving forward step by step, whilst
cutting from right to left.
Operate the power tool at full throttle to obtain an
optimum cutting result. Never operate with the
clutch in slipping range. Consequential damage
through excess loads or overheating is excluded
from our warranty.
Immediately stop the engine in case of noticeable
vibrations or when material has gathered around
the cutting tool or contact shield. Slow down the
cutting tool by pressing it onto the ground, until it
has come to a complete standstill. Pull the spark
plug cap from the plug, and clean the tool seat of
all grass, roots etc. Check the entire power tool for
perfect condition.
