tached.
• Check that all safety devices are in good condition.
Starting Fig. 60, 26 - 30
Once the device is properly assembled, start the en-
gine as follows:
1. Press the engine switch to the on position. Fig. 27
2. Set the choke lever to the position. Fig. 27
3. Press the fuel pump more than 5 times. Fig. 26
4. Pull the handle of the starter cable (9) 3 to 5 times
to start the engine. Fig. 28
ATTENTION! Never place your foot on the shaft
or kneel on it.
5. Once the engine is running, wait a short time and
then set the choke lever to the "
6. To start the cutting device, press the release lever
(8) with the palm and the throttle with the fingers
(11). The further you press the throttle lever, the
higher the engine speed becomes. Loosening the
throttle grip brings the engine back into idling and
the cutting tool stops. Fig. 30. The cutting tool
must not rotate or move while idle!
7. If problems occur, switch the engine switch (7) to
"0" immediately so that the engine stops. Atten-
tion, the cutting device can keep turning for a few
seconds. Fig. 30
8. In an emergency, the safety button (m) on the
carrying strap can be pressed. The machine then
immediately detaches from the carrying strap and
falls to the floor. Fig. 60
9. To start the engine when warm, move the choke
lever to the "Warm start and working"
tion.
Note: If the engine does not start up after several at-
tempts, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
Note: Always pull the start pull cord out straight. If it is
pulled out at an angle, friction will occur on the lug. This
friction causes the cord to wear through and wear out fast-
er. Always hold the starter handle when the cord retracts.
Never let the cord snap back from its extended state.
Note: Do not start the engine in tall grass.
m Attention: If the engine has been switched off, the
cutting device continues running for a few seconds;
therefore keep away from the cutting device until it
comes to a complete standstill!

11. Working instructions

Working with petrol brush cutters/trimmers
• With the device switched off, first familiarise your-
self with the operation and guidance if you are work-
ing with a petrol brush cutter for the first time.
• The petrol brush cutter is designed so that it is oper-
ated solely from the right-hand side of the operator.
• Always hold the petrol brush cutter firmly with both
hands on the handles.
• Hold the operating handle with your right hand and
the handle on the shaft with your left hand.
• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues
to rotate for a short time after the throttle lever has
" position. Fig. 29 been released.
• Always ensure that the engine is idling properly
so that the cutting tool no longer rotates when the
throttle is not pressed.
• Always work at high speed to achieve the best cut-
ting results.
• Move the device with a uniform curved movement
from left to right and back again. Then cut the next
section. Fig. 46
Attention: Always move the device back into the
starting position before cutting the next path.
• If you hit a stone or tree while working, switch off the
engine and remove the spark plug connector, then
inspect the petrol brush cutter for damage.
• Attention: Always be particularly careful when working
in difficult terrain and on slopes. Cut long grass in stag-
es to ensure that the device is not overloaded. Trim the
posi- tips first, then work your way forward in stages.
• Always wear safety goggles and hearing protec-
tion and a safety helmet when carrying out thinning
work.
• The petrol brush cutter is suitable for thinning out
undergrowth, wild growth, young trees (maximum
trunk diameter 2 cm) and long grass.
• When using metal cutting tools, there is always
a risk of kick-back if the tool hits a solid obstacle
(stones, trees, branches, etc.). The device is thrown
back against the direction of rotation.
• With wild growth and undergrowth, "plunge" the
hedge trimmer from above. This chops the material
to be cut.
