Note: If the engine does not start up even after sev-
eral attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshoot-
ing".
Note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight
line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction will oc-
cur 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.
Note: Do not start the motor in tall grass.
m Attention: When the engine has been switched
off, the cutting unit continues running for several sec-
onds therefore do not touch the cutting unit until it
has come to a standstill!

9. Working instructions
Working with brush cutter / grass trimmer
• When you work with the petrol brush cutter for the
first time, familiarize yourself with the operation
and control of the petrol cutting blade without run-
ning engine.
• The design of the petrol brush cutter allows for op-
eration only at the right side of the user's body.
• Keep the petrol brush cutter firmly with both hands
on the handles.
• Hold the operating handle with your right hand and
the handle on the shaft with your left hand.
• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to
rotate briefly after the throttle has been released.
• Always so that the cutting tool no longer turns in a
proper engine idle not press down the throttle.
• Always work with high speed so you have the best
cutting results.
• Move the device with a uniform curved movement
from left to right and back again. Then cut the next
section. Fig. 46
Attention: Always move the device back into the
original position before cutting the next path.
• Poke when working on a stone or a tree, turn off
the engine and remove the spark plug then exam-
ine the petrol brush cutter for damage.
• Caution: Always be extra careful when working in
difficult terrain and slopes. Cut tall grass gradually
so as not to overload the unit.
• Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection
and a safety helmet.
• Use the cutting blade to comb through brushwood,
rank growth, young tree populations (trunk diam-
eter of maximum 2 cm), and high grass.
• While using metal cutting tools, there is generally
a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a solid obstacle
(stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby, the tool is
hurled backwards against the rotating direction.
• To cut rank growth and brushwood, you "immerse"
the cutting blade from the top. This chops the ma-
terial to be cut
• Attention! The cutting unit is still running! Do not
stop the cutting unit with your hand.
• Keep the cutting unit of the string trimmer away
from feet.
CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this
working technique, because the further away the cut-
ting tool is from the ground, the higher is the risk that
objects to be cut and particles will be hurled side-
ways.
Mowing with grass trimmer
• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also at
uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.
