Grinding the safety hood blade
The safety hood blade can become blunt over time.
• When you notice this, undo the screw holding the
safety hood blade on the safety hood.
• Clamp the blade in a vise.
• Sharpen the blade with a fl at fi le and make sure
that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in
the process. File in one direction only.
Replacing and resharpening the cutting blade at the
end of the mowing season always resharpen the cut-
ting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade
with a new one.
Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vi-
brate violently-risk of accident!
Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 32 - 33
1. Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark
plug using the socket spanner supplied.
2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3. Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.5-0.7 mm.
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid
cross-threading.
5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with span-
ner to compress the washer.
Clean the air filter Fig. 28 - 31
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supply-
ing too little air to the carburetor. Regular checks are
therefore essential.
• Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge
filter element.
• To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace
the air filter cover.
• Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse
and allow drying naturally.
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or
inflammable solvents.
Checking the oil level
m CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too lit-
tle oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine.
Use only SAE30 / 10W30 engine oil.
Checking the oil level (Fig. 45):
• Laying unit on a flat surface.
• Unscrew the oil dip stick by turning anticlockwise,
pull out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back in the
filling mount as far as the stop.
• Pull out the dip stick again and read off the oil
level while holding horizontally. The oil level must
be between the maximum and the minimum
Changing the oil (Fig. 44-45)
• Change the engine oil every year before the start of
the season when the engine is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30 / 10W30).
• Open the oil filler screw ( 23).
• Drain the warm engine oil into a drip tray.
