dismantle, simply slacken the handle screw and
actuate the locking lever.
6.1.3 Fitting the blade guard hood
Important: The cutting blade guard hood (15)
must be fi tted when you want to work with the
cutting blade.
The guard hood for the cutting blade must be ins-
talled as shown in Figures 5a – 5b.
6.1.4 Fitting/Replacing the cutting blade
The procedure for fi tting the cutting blade
(18a/18b) is shown in Figures 6a-6g. To dismant-
le, proceed in reverse order.
•
Fit the carrier plate (22) onto the spline shaft
as shown in Figure 6b.
•
Secure the cutting blade (18a/18b)) on the
carrier plate (Fig. 6c).
•
Place the pressure plate (23) over the thread
of the spline shaft (Fig. 6d).
•
Plug on the cover of the pressure plate (24)
(Fig. 6e).
•
Look for the hole in the carrier plate, line up
with the notch underneath, lock with the sup-
plied hex wrench (29), and then tighten the
nut (25) with the spark plug wrench (27) (Fig.
6f/6g). Important: Left-hand thread
•
The cutting blades (18a/18b) are delivered
with plastic protective caps fitted to them.
Remove these caps before use and refit them
after use.
6.1.5 Fitting the cutting line guard hood
on the cutting blade guard hood
Important: The cutting line guard hood (14) must
be fi tted in addition when you want to work with
the cutting line.
The guard hood for the cutting line must be ins-
talled as shown in Figures 7a – 7b. Make sure
that the cutting line guard hood engages correctly.
A blade (Fig. 7a/ Item F) on the underside of the
guard hood automatically cuts the cutting line to
the optimum length. It is covered by a guard (Fig.
7a/Item G).
Remove the guard before you start working and
replace it when you have fi nished working.

6.1.6 Fitting/Replacing the line spool
The procedure for fi tting the line spool (13) is
shown in Figure 7c. To dismantle, proceed in re-
verse order. The line spool is already fi tted when
the equipment is delivered.
Look for the hole in the carrier plate (22), line up
with the notch beneath it, lock with the supplied
hex wrench (29), and screw the line spool onto
the thread.
Important: Left-hand thread

6.2 Setting the cutting height

•
Fit the carrying strap (17) as shown in Figures
8a-8c.
•
Hook the equipment to the carrying belt (Fig.
8d).
•
Adjust to the perfect working and cutting po-
sition using the various strap adjusters on the
carrying strap (Fig. 8e).
•
To confirm the optimum length of the carrying
strap, make a few swinging movements with
the engine off (Fig. 9a).
The carrying strap is fi tted with a quick-release
mechanism. Pull the red strap section (Fig. 8f) if
you need to remove the strap quickly.
Important: Always use the strap when working
with the equipment. Attach the strap as soon as
you have started the engine and it is running in
idle mode. Switch off the engine before you take
off the carrying strap.

6.3 Fuel and oil

Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special
2-stroke engine oil.
Mix the fuel mixture as indicated 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 recom-
mended mixing ratio of 100:1. The manufacturer's
warranty will be voided in case of engine dama-
ge due to inadequate lubrication.
Important: Only use containers designed and
approved for the purpose to transport and store
