4. Pull the recoil starter handle (9) 3-5 times to start the
engine. Fig. 21
Never place feet on the shaft or kneel on it.
5. Once the motor is running, briefly wait, then put the
choke lever into position.
6. To start the cutting tools, operate the release lever (8)
with the palm of your hand, and the throttle lever (11)
with your fingers. The further you push the throttle
lever, the higher the motor speed. When releasing
the throttle lever, the motor becomes idle and the
cutting tools stop. Fig.23. The cutting tools should
not continue turning and should not move when the
motor is idle.

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.
Note: Do not start the motor in tall grass.
m Attention: When the engine has been switched off,
the cutting unit continues running for several seconds
therefore do not touch the cutting unit until it has come
to a standstill!

9. Working instructions

Working with brush cutter / grass trimmer
• When you work with the petrol brush cutter for the first
time, familiarize yourself with the operation and control
of the petrol cutting blade without running engine.
• The design of the petrol brush cutter allows for
operation only at the right side of the user's body.
• Keep the petrol brush cutter firmly with both hands on
the handles.
• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to
rotate briefly after the throttle has been released.(see
Maintenance).
• Always so that the cutting tool no longer turns in a
proper engine idle not press down the throttle.
• Always work with high speed so you have the best
cutting results.
• Poke when working on a stone or a tree, turn off the
engine and remove the spark plug then examine the
petrol brush cutter for damage.
• Caution: Always be extra careful when working in
difficult terrain and slopes. Cut tall grass gradually so
as not to overload the unit.
• Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection
and a safety helmet.
Mowing with grass trimmer
• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also at
uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.
• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle,
and use the tip of the line to cut around the obstacle.
When the trimming line comes into contact with
stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or breaks
off ahead of time.
• Swing the petrol cutting blade like a normal scythe
horizontally from right to left and back again. You
define the cutting height depending on how high you
are holding the tool.
• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.
RISK OF INJURIES
Automatic thread trimming (Fig. 36)
The petrol cutting blade is delivered with a filled line
cassette. This line will wear out during work. To feed new
line, forcefully press the head of the line cassette onto the
ground while the engine is running at working speed.
