Avoid recoil
Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to
jamming of the chain on top of rail.
Do not cut more than one branch at a time.
Do not tilt the rail to the side when you pull them out
of a cutting gap, since the chain could get caught
otherwise.
Operation Leaf blower
Do not smoke while refueling or operating equipment.
•
Do not touch or let your hands or body come in
•
contact with a hot muffler or spark plug wire.
•
Due to the danger of exhaust fumes, never operate
blower in a confined or poorly ventilated area.
Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit
•
conditions.
Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make
•
sure you stand squarely and keep your balance
at all times.
•
If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass.
Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold particu-
•
larly while working on slopes.
Always walk. Never run.
•
Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
•
Never direct the blow hole at persons or animals.
•
•
The machine may only be used at reasonable
times of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or
late evening when it will be a nuisance to other
people. Permitted times of use specified by local
authorities must be observed.
The machine must be run at the lowest possible
•
motor speed required to carry out the work.
•
Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush
before starting any blowing work.
Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface
•
a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that
•
the air current can work near to the ground.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and
•
blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
If the device makes abnormal noises or has unu-
•
sually high levels of vibration, it must be checked.
Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the
operator and damage the unit.
Never operate the appliance with defective guards
•
or shields, or without safetydevices, for example
debris collector in place
Do not expose the hot engine to flammable materials
•
The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
•
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders.
Select the blow function using the selector lever
•
on the side of the machine and switch on.
•
Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground
and swing the machine from side to side, moving
forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be
cleared.
Blow the debris into a convenient heap

10. Maintenance
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves when
working on or around cutting tools. For non-use,
transport or storage always attach the transport
guard to all cutting tools. Fig. 1 (14a, 15a, 17a)
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning
work, always turn off the engine and pull out the
spark boot
1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the
engine.
2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.
3. Use a moist piece of cloth to clean the plastic
parts. Do not use any cleaning agents, solvents,
or sharp objects.
4. During the course of work, wet grass and weed
wraps around the drive shaft below the cutting
guard for technical reasons. Remove this, oth-
erwise the engine will overheat because of too
much friction. Fig. 38
Regular checks
Keep in mind that following specifications relate to
normal usage. Owing to circumstances (longer pe-
riods of daily work, severe dust exposure, etc.), the
specified intervals will become correspondingly
shorter.
• Before starting work, after tank filling, after impact
or dropping:
Check the cutting tools for secure seating, general
visual check for cracks and damage.
• Immediately replace damaged or blunt cutting
tools, even in the event of minor hairline cracks.
• Sharpen cutting tools (also when required).
• Weekly inspection:
Lubrication of gear (also, if necessary).
• If necessary:
Retighten accessible fastening screws and nuts.
You will avoid excessive wear and tear and dam-
ages of the tool, when you follow the instructions
in this manual.
Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 24-29
1. Pull off the line guard cap from the line spool (5)
by forcefully pressing between the retaining plates.
2. Remove the spool with line remaining and the
compression spring.
3. Remove the used up spool.
4. Take the new line spool and pull out 10 cm at both
lines each.
5. Now, place the line spool (5) on the tapered
spring, and guide both lines each through the
round metal lugs at the line spool housing.
6. Then place the spool cover on the new line spool
(5). Turn it so that the plates of the spool cov-
er are pushed with the springs in the line spool
housing.
