Maintenance Of The Air Fi Lter; Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts - Parkside FBS 43 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

Caution! Do not use the equipment to remove
objects from footpaths, etc.
The petrol scythe is a powerful tool and can cata-
pult small stones and other objects a distance of
15 meters or more, causing injuries and damage
to cars, houses and windows.
Sawing
The equipment is not suitable for sawing.
Jamming
If the cutting tool jams as a result of attempting
to cut vegetation that is too dense, switch off the
engine immediately. Remove the grass and scrub
from the equipment before you restart it.
Preventing recoil
When you work with the blade, there is a risk of
recoil if it strikes solid objects (tree trunks, bran-
ches, tree stumps, stones or the like). This will
throw the equipment backwards in the direction
opposite to the rotation of the cutting tool. This can
cause you to lose control of the equipment. Do not
use the blade near fences, metal posts, boundary
stones or foundations. For cutting slender wood
growth, position the equipment as shown in Fig. 9f
in order to prevent recoil.
8. Maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the
spark boot plug (36) before carrying out any
maintenance work.
8.1 Replacing the line spool/cutting line
1. Dismantle the line spool (13) as described in
section 6.1.6. Press the spool together (Fig.
12a) and remove one half of the housing (Fig.
12b).
2. Take the spool plate (K) out of the line spool
housing (Fig. 12c).
3. Remove any remaining cutting line.
4. Place the new cutting line in the center and
hang the loop which has formed into the re-
cess in the spool splitter. (Fig. 12d)
5. Wind up the line counter-clockwise and under

tension. The spool splitter will separate the
two halves of the line. (Fig. 12e)
6. Hook the last 15 cm of the two ends of the
line onto the opposite lying line holders of the
spool plate. (Fig. 12f)
7. Thread the two ends of the line through the
metal eyelets in the line spool housing (Fig.
12c).
8. Press the spool plate into the line spool
housing (Fig. 12b).
9. Pull the two line ends sharply to release them
from the line holders.
10. Join the housing parts together again.
1 1. Cut the excess line to a length of around 13
cm. This will reduce the load on the engine
when starting and warming up.
12. Refi t the line spool (see section 6.1.6). If you
are replacing the complete line spool, skip
points 3-6.
8.2 Maintenance of the air fi lter
Soiled air fi lters reduce the engine output by sup-
plying too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential.
The air fi lter (35) should be checked after every
25 hours of use and cleaned if necessary. If the
air contains a lot of dust, the air fi lter should be
checked more frequently.
1. Remove the cover from the air fi lter housing
(Fig. 10a / Item 8)
2. Remove the air fi lter (Fig. 10b/10c)
3. Clean the air fi lter by tapping it or blowing it
out (with compressed air).
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Important: Never clean the air fi lter with petrol
or infl ammable solvents.
