4. Press the fuel pump more than 5 times. Fig. 32
5. Pull the recoil starter handle (11) 3-5 times to
start the engine. Fig. 33
6. Pull the rope until engine starts. Fig. 33
7. Wait a while adjust the choke lever to
tion. Fig. 34
8. To start the cutting tools, operate the release le-
ver (7) with the palm of your hand, and the throttle
lever (8) with your fingers. The further you push
the throttle lever, the higher the motor speed.
When releasing the throttle lever, the motor be-
comes idle and the cutting tools stop. Fig. 30.
The cutting tools should not continue turning and
should not move when the motor is idle. Fig. 30
9. Adjusting line length when working:
This machine is fitted with a "Tap & Go" head.
To release more line, tap the cutting line head
against the round with engine at top speed: the
line will be released automatically and the knife
cut off the excess length. Fig. 48
10. If meet any problems, press the engine switch to
off position, the machine will stop running. If need
stop cutting head working, release the throttle le-
ver (8). Fig. 30
11. In an emergency, the safety button (m) can be
pressed from the harness. The machine then de-
taches immediately from the carrying strap and
falls to the ground. Fig. 28
12. If the machine is hot, the throttle level can be ad-
justed to ON position directly when re start the
machine.
Note: If the engine does not start up even after sev-
eral attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshoot-
ing".
Note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight
line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction will oc-
cur 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.
Note: Do not start the motor in tall grass.
m Attention: When the engine has been switched
off, the cutter continues running for several seconds
therefore do not close to cutting head of brush cutter
until the cutter has come to a standstill!

9. Working instructions

Extending the cutting line
Caution! Do not use any kind of metal wire or metal
wire encased in plastic in the line spool. This may
cause serious injuries to the user. To extend the cut-
ting line, run the engine at full speed and tap the line
spool on the ground. This will automatically extend
the line. Fig. 48
The blade (A) on the safety shield will cut the line to
the appropriate length. Fig. 24
m Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants
at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube over-
heating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants become
trapped under the safety shield and prevent the shaft
tube from receiving adequate ventilation. Remove
the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like.
Fig. 49
Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut
weeds and long grass in places which are diffi cult
to access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations
and also around trees. It can also be used for „mow-
ing" down vegetation so that a garden can be better
prepared or a certain area cleared down to the soil.
Fig. 50
m Attention: Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will
result in the line suff ering more than normal wear.
Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the line spool parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide which cutting
height you require. Guide and hold the line spool at
the required height to obtain an even cut. Fig. 50
Low trimming
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle
so that the underside of the line spool is above the
ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always
cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer to-
wards yourself.
Cutting along fences/foundations
Approach wire mesh fences, lath fences, natural
stone walls and foundations slowly so that you can
cut close to them without striking the obstacle with
the line. If, for example, the line strikes stones, stone
walls or foundations, it will wear or fray. If the line
strikes wire fencing, it will break.
Trimming around trees
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly
so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around
the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or
weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the line spool
forwards slightly.
