Mixing

Ratio of mixture 40:1
Petrol
1 litre
2 litres
5 litres
10 litres
• Measure the oil quantity accurately as a small deviation of it
has a large effect on the ratio of mixture in particular for small
fuel quantities.
• Do not change the ratio of mixture. This will lead to more
residues of combustion, a higher fuel consumption, a
decrease of output or damages to the engine.
Mix petrol and oil in the supplied fuel mixing can (26).
• Fuels have only a limited shelf-life. Outdated fuels and fuel
mixtures may result in starting problems. Therefore, mix only
that quantity of fuel which you can use.
• Only store fuels in containers approved and identified for this.
Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.
• Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach for
children.
Make sure to dispose of fuel remainders and liquids used
for cleaning according to relevant regulations and in an
environmentally compatible manner.

Fuelling of the device

• Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid eye and skin contact.
• Strictly follow the instructions under "Safe
handling of fuels"
Only fuel the device outdoors or in sufficiently ventilated
rooms.
Clean the area around the filler neck. Contamination in the
tank may result in malfunction.
Carefully open the tank cap (23) to allow possible
overpressure to relax.
Shake the container once more before pouring the fuel into
the tank.
Carefully fill the fuel mixture up to the lower edge of the filler
neck. Avoid spilling of fuel or oil. Clean the device
immediately when you have spilled fuel or oil.
Make sure that no fuel can enter the soil.
Carefully close the tank cap after fuelling and check that it
does not get loose during operation.
Check that there is no leakage on the tank cap and fuel
lines. If there are leaks this product may not be started.
Clean the tank cap and the area around it.
Go away at least three metres from the fuelling place
to start the machine.

Start-up

Caution! Prior to starting the machine learn how to put
it out of action in emergency cases.
You may not start to operate the machine until you
have read these operating instructions, observed all
the instructions given and installed the machine as
described!
Check the device before each use for
− possible damages,
− loose fastening elements,
− correctly assembled and intact covers and protective
devices.
Make sure that the throttle lever lock (31), cold start push
button (32), ON/OFF switch (33), throttle lever (34) on the
safety handle (30) and the complete machine function
properly.

Starting the machine

This machine is equipped with a centrifugal clutch. The
cutting tool starts rotating with idle speed after starting.
Place the machine on a solid ground for starting. Firmly hold
the machine and make sure that neither the cutting tool nor
the throttle lever comes into contact with fixed objects.
Always keep your hands and feet at a safe distance to the
cutting tool.
Put the machine on the ground.
Assume a safe standing position.
Make sure that the cutting tool has no contact with the
ground.

Starting with cold engine

1. Firmly press on the fuel pump (25) several times until
petrol (gasoline)/foam is visible in the priming pump.
2. Slide the ON/OFF switch (33) on the safety handle (30)
to  .
3. Operate the following in this order
− throttle lever lock (31)
− throttle lever (34)
− cold start switch (32)
When the cold start switch (32) engages, the engine
receives the correct petrol (gasoline)/air mixture.
4. Put the choke lever (24) to the OFF position
5. Firmly hold the machine and pull the cranking rope on
the cranking handle (21) slowly up to the first resistance and
then further rapidly and vigorously. Repeat this several times
if required.
Do not fully pull out the cranking rope and slowly
guide the cranking handle back to make sure that
the cranking rope is correctly wound up.
