Important: The cutting tool starts to operate
when the engine is started.
8. After approx. 5-10 seconds actuate the thrott-
le lever briefl y. This will release the choke le-
ver and the engine will return to idling speed.
9. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps
4-8 above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
Troubleshooting". Please note: Always pull the
starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out
at an angle, then friction will occur 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.
7.2 Starting the engine when warm
(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The
equipment should start after 1-2 tugs. If the
equipment does not start after 6 pulls, repeat
steps 1 – 7 of the procedure for starting the
engine from cold.
7.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment im-
mediately, set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0"
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engi-
ne has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/
OFF switch to "Stop" or "0".
7.4 Practical tips
Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the equip-
ment.

8. Working with the petrol power
scythe
Extending the cutting line
Caution! Do not use any kind of metal wire or
metal wire encased in plastic in the line spool.
This may cause serious injuries to the user.
To extend the cutting line, run the engine at full
speed and tap the line spool on the ground. This
will automatically extend the line. The blade on
the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate
length (Fig. 26).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants
at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube over-
heating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become
trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 27) and
prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate
ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using
a screwdriver or the like.
Diff erent cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it
will cut weeds and long grass in places which are
diffi cult to access, e.g. along fences, walls and
foundations and also around trees. It can also
be used for „mowing" down vegetation so that a
garden can be better prepared or a certain area
cleared down to the soil.
Please note: Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc.
will result in the line suff ering more than normal
wear.
Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide which cutting
height you require. Guide and hold the line spool
at the required height to obtain an even cut (Fig.
28).
Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight
angle so that the underside of the line spool is
above the ground and the line strikes the correct
target. Always cut away from yourself. Never draw
the trimmer towards yourself.
