The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal force.
The knife at the line guard will shorten the trimming
line to the correct length.
Run the trim line approach cautiously to an obstacle
and cut with the tip of the line around the obstacle.
Working with hedge trimmer
• The hedge trimmer may be used only for cutting
hedges, bushes and shrubs
• Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe
distance from the body.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the
wood's type, age, moisture and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch
shears to your desired length before trimming the
hedge.
• Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer
can be guided forward and backward or by oscillat-
ing movements from one to another side.
• At first cut the sides of the hedge and then the up-
per edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the
hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of
the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a
large portion of the hedge.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of
the hedge (e.g. wires) as these can damage the
knives of the hedge trimmer.
Best time for hedge trimming:
• Leaved hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every
6 weeks
Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so,
put off hedge trimming or leave this area out.
Angle adjustment
By swivelling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can
be adjusted to the working conditions from +90° to
-75°. Fig. 42.
• Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has
been turned off.
• Push both levers down and put the cutter head in
the required position. Fig. 41
• Release both levers until they click into place in
the notch.
• Before use, check that the adjustment levers have
clicked into place properly. Fig. 42
Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time
before starting work, with environmentally friendly lu-
bricant.
Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well.

Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been
turned off.
Caution: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the
bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of
pieces hurled away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting
blade, take note of following points:
• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is
larger than 2 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages.
Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt,
it must be sharpened according to instructions.
When the cutting blade is apparently out of bal-
ance, it must be replaced.
Working with pole saw
Oiling of the chain and bar
It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.
• Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig. 47 / L)
• Fill the chain oil tank (Fig. 47 / M ) to 80% with
chain oil.
• Close Oil tank cap (Fig. 47 / L)
Oil Supply Control
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is
working properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain,
Bar and Sprocket Oil.
Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cut-
ting operations is essential to minimize friction with
the guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Run-
ning the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease
cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid
dulling of chain, and lead to excessive wear of bar
from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke
or bar discoloration.
To check the saw chain lubrication, hold the chain
saw with the saw chain over a piece of paper and
give a few seconds of full throttle.
The oil quantity can be checked on the paper. The
chain must always be thrown off a small amount of
oil. After a few seconds, a light oil trail must be visi-
ble.

Use screw (R) to reduce or increase the amount of
oil.
Clockwise - oil quantity is reduced (-)
Counterclockwise - oil quantity increases (+)
