m Warning: Do not remove objects from footpaths
etc. with the device!
The device is a powerful tool and small stones or oth-
er objects can be thrown 15 metres or more away and
cause injuries or damage to cars, houses and windows.
Jamming
If the cutting blade jams because the vegetation is too
dense, stop the engine immediately. Clear the device
of grass and undergrowth before operating it again.
(fig. 42)
Avoidance of kick-back
When working with the cutting blade, there is a danger
of kick-back if it hits solid obstacles (tree trunk, branch,
tree stump, stone or the like). The device is thrown
back against the direction of rotation of the tool. This
can lead to loss of control over the device. Do not use
the cutting blade near fences, metal posts, boundary
stones or foundations.

Storing the device
If you stow the device for longer than 30 days, it must
be prepared ahead of time. Otherwise, the remaining
fuel in the carburettor will evaporate and leave a rub-
bery sediment behind. This could make it difficult to
start and result in expensive repair work.
1. Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any
pressure in the tank. Carefully empty the tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops in order
to remove the fuel from the carburettor.
3. Allow the engine to cool down (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Remove the spark plug
5. Add 1 teaspoon of clean 2-stroke oil to the com-
bustion chamber. Pull the starter cord slowly
several times to coat the internal components.
Re-insert the spark plug.
Note: Store the device in a dry location, far away from
potential sources of ignition, such as furnaces, hot wa-
ter boilers with gas, gas dryers, etc.
Recommissioning
1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter cord quickly to remove excess oil
from the combustion chamber.
3. Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode
gap on the spark plug is correct is correctly set,
or insert a new spark plug with the correct elec-
trode gap.
4. Prepare the device for operation.
5. Fill the tank with the correct fuel/oil mixture. See
fuel mixing table.
