6. Before starting

Each time before use, check the following:
•
That there are no leaks in the fuel system.
•
That the equipment is in perfect condition and
that the safety devices and cutting devices
are complete.
•
That all screws are securely fastened.
•
That all moving parts move smoothly.

6.1 Fuel and oil

Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special
2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as indica-
ted in the fuel mixing table.
Important: Do not use a fuel mixture which has
been stored for longer than 90 days. Important:
Never use 2-stroke oil with a recommended mi-
xing ratio of 100:1. The manufacturer's warranty
will be voided in case of engine damage due to
inadequate lubrication. Important: Only use con-
tainers designed and approved for the purpose to
transport and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke
oil into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the
bottle). Then shake the bottle well.

7. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
Before starting up the equipment remove the pro-
tective caps from the cutting blade.
7.1 Starting with a cold engine
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix. See „Fuel and oil".
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 2/Item 29)
10 times.
3. Move the On/Off switch (Fig. 2/Item 9) to „I".
4. Set the choke lever (Fig. 2/Item 17) to I I.
5. Actuate the decompression lever (Fig. 42/
Item 33).

6. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 2/Item 14) until you feel it
begin to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 2 times.
7. Set the choke lever (Fig. 2/Item 17) to I I.
8. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 2/Item 14) until you feel it
begin to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 4 times. The equipment should start.
Important: Never allow the starter line to snap
back. This may result in damage.
Once the engine has started, allow the equip-
ment to warm up for 10 seconds.
Important: Since the choke lever is secured,
the cutting tool starts to operate when the
engine is started.
Then release the choke lever by actuating the
throttle lever once.
9. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps
4-9 above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section „Engine
troubleshooting".
Please note: Always pull the starter cord out in
a straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then
friction will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this
friction, the cable will become frayed and will
wear away faster. Always hold the starter handle
when the cable retracts.
Never allow the cable to snap back when it has
been pulled out.
7.2 Starting with a warm engine
(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Switch the On/Of switch to „I".
3. Actuate the decompression lever (Fig. 42/
Item 33).
4. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The
equipment should start after 1-2 tugs. If the
equipment does not start after 6 pulls, repeat
steps 1 – 9 of the procedure for starting the
engine from cold.
