Maintenance

Replacing the strimmer/cutting filament
5@
1.) The strimmer is removed as described in the section Installing/
replacing the strimmer. Press the marking (see Fig. 5a), turn the cover
and remove one half of the casing (see Fig. 5b).
2.) Remove the spool bobbin
3.) Remove any remaining cutting filament.
4.) Double the new cutting filament in the middle and hook the loop that
you have made into the recess on the spool bobbin (see Fig. 5d).
5.) Wind the filament tightly in an anticlockwise direction. The spool bob-
bin separates the two halves of the cutting filament (see Fig. 5d).
6.) Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the filament into the opposite
filament holders (see Fig. 5e).
7.) Guide the two ends of the filament through the metal lugs in the strimmer
housing (see Fig. 5e).
8.) Press the spool bobbin
9.) Reconnect the two halves of the housing.
10.) Pull hard on the two ends of the filament to free them from the filament
holders (see Fig. 5f).
11.) Cut any excess filament back to about 13 cm. This reduces the load
on the engine when starting and warming up.
12.) Refit the strimmer (see section "Installing/replacing the strimmer").
Skip points 3–6 if you are replacing the entire strimmer.
Air filter maintenance
Contaminated air filters reduce the engine performance due to low air
supply to the carburettor.
Regular inspection is essential. The air filter
every 25 hours of operation and cleaned if necessary.
The air filter must be checked more frequently if the air is dusty.
1.) Remove the cover of the air filter housing
2.) Remove the air filter
3.) Clean the air filter

■ Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable solvents.

Spark plug maintenance
1.) Pull off the spark plug connector
and
2.) Unscrew the spark plug using the spark plug wrench supplied
3.) Assembly takes place in the reverse order.
Electrode gap = 0.6 mm (distance between the electrodes between which
the ignition spark is generated). Check the spark plug for contamination
after the first 10 hours of operation and clean it with a copper wire brush
if required.
Afterwards, service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.
Grinding the protective guard blade
The blade (see Fig. 2a) can become blunt over time. If you find this

Adjusting the carburettor
Remove the cover of the air filter housing
Adjusting the throttle cable
If the appliance no longer reaches maximum speed after a while and all
other causes as described in the "Troubleshooting" section have been ruled
out, this may mean that the throttle cable needs to be adjusted. To adjust
the throttle cable, screw in the screw
as the lock nut correctly (see Fig. 4).

Lubricating the gears
■ Add liquid gear grease after every 20 hours of operation (approx. 10 g)
to lubricate the angle gear.
♦ To do this, undo the screw
into the gear housing.
♦ After filling the gearbox, close the lubrication hole with the screw

Storage and transportation

■ Store the appliance in a safe location.
■ Store the appliance and accessories in a safe location which is
protected against naked flames and sources of heat/sparks, such as
gas-powered water heaters, dryers, oil stoves or mobile heaters, etc.
■ Ensure that the protective guard
free of cutting residue when storing.
■ The plastic cover for the 3-section cutting blade
transport and storage.
■ Always turn the appliance off before performing any maintenance work
and remove the spark plug connector
Storing the appliance
The appliance must be prepared for storage if it is to be stored for longer
than 30 days. Otherwise the residual fuel in the carburettor will evaporate
and leave a gooey sediment. This may make starting the appliance more
difficult and result in expensive repair work.
1.) Remove the filler cap
Carefully empty the fuel tank
2.) To remove all fuel from the carburettor, start the engine and leave it to
run until it stops.
3.) Allow the engine to cool for about 10 minutes.
4.) Remove the spark plug (see section "Spark plug maintenance").
