36. Take special care in slippery conditions - on
slopes and uneven ground.
37. Work in a line across the slope and take special
care when turning around.
38. Watch for hidden obstacles such as tree stumps
and roots to avoid stumbling.
39. Clean the cutting head at regular intervals.
40. Check the condition of the cutting head at fre-
quent intervals. If the behaviour of the cutting
head changes (vibration, noise), check immedi-
ately as follows: Switch off the tool, hold it firmly
and bring the cutting head to a standstill by
pressing it against the ground. Then disconnect
plug from power supply. Check condition of cut-
ting head - look for cracks.
41. Be sure to bring the unit onto normal working
position before turning it on again.
42. Have a damaged cutting head replaced immedi-
ately - even if it only has superficial cracks. Never
attempt to repair a damaged cutting head.
43. Always switch off your tool and disconnect it
from the power supply before taking a break and
after finishing work. Do not forget maintenance.
(Plug disconnected!) Only carry out maintenance
and repairs described in these operating instruc-
tions. Any other work should be performed by
your dealer. Do not grease - this is unnecessary,
as this unit has been pregreased at the factory.
44. Inspect cooling air slots on the motor housing at
regular intervals for clog-ups and clean as necessary.
45. Only use original spare parts.
46. Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth. Do not use
aggressive cleaning chemicals.
47. Never hose down the electric tool!
48. Store tool indoors in a dry, high or locked place
and always keep out of reach of children.
Important notice - so your guarantee does not expire:
• Always keep the air-intake clean.
• Never press the cutting head on the ground,
when doing this you brake the turned-on motor.
• Never hit the cutting head on a hard under-
ground, otherwise you will unbalance and dam-
age the motor shaft.
6. Assembly
Mounting the protective cover for operation with
cutting disc (fig. 1 - 3)
1. Remove the 3 screws from the gear housing
2. Then loosen the hexagon nut of the drive shaft; take
care: it has a left-handed thread. Loosen it by turning it
clockwise! Remove the disk and holder from the shaft.
3. Put the protection cover on the gear housing aligning
the screw bores and fasten the cover using the
hexagon socket screws and washers. Tighten the
screws well.
Mounting the cutting disk (fig. 2 + 4)
1. Slide the cutting disk holder onto the drive shaft as far
as it will go. Put the cutting disk on the holder. Make
sure that the cutting disk is exactly centred on the
holder. It must absolutely not be in a tilted position. If
the disk has been positioned correctly screw on the
nut by turning it anti-clockwise.
2. Now block the gear by inserting the Allen key laterally
into the opening in the disk holder. Make sure that the
opening in the disk holder is aligned with the opening
in the gear housing.
3. With the gear being blocked, use a 19mm spanner
to firmly tighten the nut (applying a torque of about
25 Nm).
4. Remove the 4 protection caps from the cutting disk.
5. Keep the caps to regularly reuse them when
transporting or storing the tool.
6. The brushcutter has two-sided cutting surfaces
meaning that it may be turned around and used
further if one side has become blunt after a longer
period of use.
Mounting the handle (fig. 5 + 6)
Remove the 4 screws from the handle. Put the handle
holder onto the underside of the tube. Make sure that
the locking pin located in the handle holder is seated
in one of the 2 bores on the shaft. The 2 bores serve to
variably adjust the handle to the operator's individually
desired position.
Put the handle onto the holder (the holes must fit exactly)
and screw it to the handle holder using the 4 screws
and nuts.
How to Assemble the Shaft (fig. 7 + 8)
1. Loosen wing screw (1) on the coulping sleeve (2),
and pull the lock button (3) and Insert the driver tube
(4) until the lock button (3) secured in place.
2. Screw down the wing screw (1).
Note: If the upper and bottom shaft cannot be
completely put together, turn the cutting head manually
back and forth. The drive shafts inside of the shaft
are thus put into correct position and thus the shaft
coupling can click into place properly.
How to Detach the Bottom Shaft (fig. 9)
1. Unscrew the star grip screw (1) anticlockwise.
2. Press the release button (3) into it.
3. Pull the bottom shaft (4) straightly out of the shaft
coupling.
Installing and putting on the shoulder strap
1. Put the shoulder strap around your right shoulder.
2. Hook the snap hook into the holding device on the
shaft.
(fig. 1).
3. Adjust the length of the strap to your height.
7. Modifying the brushcutter for operation
with nylon line
Mounting the protective cover (fig. 11)
For the operation of the brushcutter with nylon line
cutting head, it is mandatory to mount the big plastic
protective cover.
The tool must never be operated without this
additional cover! Danger of injury!
