Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to "Stop" or "0".
6.4 Practical tips
Never allow the machine to run at low speed for
starting or for cutting.
Cutting for dense growth: The most effective
method is to use wide, sweeping movements,
guiding the cutting edge of the blade straight through
the branches. A slight incline of the blade downwards
towards the movement will produce best cutting
results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the
like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a
level height. The branches above it will be cut off.
(Fig. 6)
Cutting the side of a hedge: Cut the sides of the
hedge with curve-shaped movements from the
bottom up. (Fig. 7)
Please note: As a result of its design, if you work
with the machine on its side for a lengthy period and
the tank not completely filled, the motor may stall.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage and
ordering of spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Maintenance
Always switch off the head trimmer and remove the
spark plug boot before carrying out any maintenance
work.
1. The cutter blades are high quality, made of
tempered steel and in normal use there is no
need to sharpen the blades. If you accidentally
strike a wire, stone, glass or other hard object,

this may cause a notch in the blade. There is no
need to remove the notch as long as it does not
adversely affect the movement of the cutting
edges. If it does adversely affect this movement,
switch off the machine and use a fine file or a
fine grinding stone to remove the notch. Ensure
that the bladeʼs cutting edge is always well oiled
(see Fig. 8).
2. If you drop the hedge trimmer, check whether it
has suffered any damage. If it is damaged
contact an authorized customer service outlet or
send the machine to ISC GmbH to have it
repaired.
3. Only clean the machine after it has been
switched off. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean it. Never allow fluid to get into the
machine. Do not use caustic cleaning products.
7.2.1 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 9-11)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply
too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter
should be checked after every 25 hours of use and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust,
the air filter should be checked more frequently.
1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 9-10)
2. Remove the filter element (Fig. 11)
3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing
it.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Please note: Never clean the air filter with petrol or
inflammable solvents. Clean the air filter with
compressed air or by tapping it.
7.2.2 Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 12-14)
Spark plug gap = 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Tighten the
spark plug with a torque of 12-15 Nm.
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10
hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a
copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug
after every 50 hours of operation.
1. Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 13) by twisting.
2. Remove the spark plug (Fig. 14) with the
supplied spark plug wrench.
3. Assemble in reverse order.
7.2.3 Maintenance of the gearbox (Fig. 15)
The gearbox must be lubricated every year before
the start of the season at the lubrication nipple (Fig.
15/Item A). Place a conventional grease gun on the
nipple and press approx. 3 strokes of conventional
machine grease into the gearbox. If you use the
trimmer frequently, grease the gearbox more often.
