carrying strap (Fig. 8e).
•
In order to establish the optimum length of
the carrying strap, you should then make a
few swinging movements without starting the
engine (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. Before starting the equipment

Check the equipment for the following each time
before use:
•
That there are no leaks in the fuel system.
•
That the equipment is in perfect condition and
that the safety devices and cutting devices
are complete.
•
That all screws are securely fastened.
•
That all moving parts move smoothly.
6.1 Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special
2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as indica-
ted on 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 damage
due to inadequate lubrication.
Important: Only use containers designed and ap-
proved for the purpose to transport and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke
oil into the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the
bottle). Then shake the bottle well.

7. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from town to
town.
Before starting up the equipment remove the pro-
tective caps from the cutting blade.
7.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix. See "Fuel and oil".
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7)
10 times.
3. Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to "I"
4. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to „ ".
5. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it
start to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 2-6x times.
6. Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to „ ".
7. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it
start to resist. Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 2-4 times. The equipment should start.
Important: Never allow the starter cable to
snap back. This may damage the equipment.
Once the engine has started, allow the equip-
ment to warm up for 10 seconds.
Important: The cutting tool starts to operate
when the engine is started.
8. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps
4-8 above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
Troubleshooting". Please note: Always pull the
starter cord out in a straight line. If it is pulled out
at an angle, then friction will occur 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.
7.2 Starting the engine when warm
(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The
