for the first time, familiarize yourself with the
operation and control of the petrol cutting blade
without running engine.
- The design of the petrol brush cutter
allows for operation only at the front side
of the user's body.
- Always keep in mind that the cutting tool keeps
rotating for a short while after the throttle control
was released.
- Always ensure a proper idle running of the
engine, so that the cutting tool will no longer
rotate, when the throttle control is pressed.
- Always use the highest speed for work, this way
you will achieve the best cutting result.
If you hit a stone or tree during work, switch off
the engine and inspect the petrol brush cutter for
damages.
Caution: When working in a difficult surrounding
and on slopes, always stand below the cutting
head.
Always wear safety goggles and ear protection,
and a safety helmet during work.
Using Trimmer head for Cutting
- Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also
at uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.
- Carefully advance the trimming line to an
obstacle, and use the tip of the line to cut around
the obstacle. When the trimming line comes into
contact with stones, trees, and walls, the line
wears out or breaks off ahead of time.
- Swing the petrol cutting blade like a normal
scythe horizontally from right to left and
back again. You define the cutting height
depending on how high you are holding the tool.
- Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.
RISK OF INJURIES
Using Cutting Blade for Cutting
- Use the cutting blade to comb through
brushwood, rank growth, young tree populations
(trunk diameter of maximum 2 cm), and high
grass.

- While using metal cutting tools, there is
generally a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a solid
obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby,
the tool is hurled backwards against the rotating
direction.
- To comb through young tree populations and
to cut grass, move the tool like a scythe closely
above the ground.
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
balance, it must be replaced.
Automatic Feeding of Trimming Line
The petrol cutting blade is delivered with a line
cassette.
This line will wear out during work. To feed new
line, forcefully press the head of the line cassette
onto the ground while the engine is running at
working speed.
The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal
force.
The knife at the line guard will shorten the
trimming line to the correct length.
