• For operation, hook the brush cutter into the snap hook
(k) of the carrying strap while the engine is running.
m ATTENTION! In an emergency, the safety latch
(l) can be pulled from the harness. The machine
then detaches immediately from the carrying strap
(9) and falls to the ground.
6. Mounting the hedge trimmer Fig. 27-29
• Remove the screw (d), align the holes (c) so that they
are flush and screw the screw (d) back in.
• Place the hedge trimmer (15) precisely as shown in
Figure 27 on the connecting rod (3).
• Tighten with screw (a).
• Adjust the slope by unlocking the lock (Fig. 29)
• The hedge trimmer can be tilted from 0 ° to 90 °
(Fig.29).
7. Fitting the cutter bar and the chaine (Fig. 30-32)
• Remove the chain wheel cover (Fig. 32/ Item J) by
undoing the fastening nut (Item I). Lay the chain
(Item F) as shown into the groove which runs
around the cutter bar (Item E).
• Note the alignment of the chain teeth (Fig. 31).
Insert the cutter bar as shown in Fig. 31 into the
mount at the gear unit.
• Place the chain round the chain wheel (Item H).
Make sure that the teeth of the chain engage se-
curely in the chain wheel.
The cutter bar must be hooked into the chain ten-
sioning bolt (Item G).
• Fit the chain wheel cover
m Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw
until after you have adjusted the chain tension
(see section 7.1).
7.1 Tensioning the chain (Fig. 33-35)
• Undo the fastening screw (Item I) of the chain wheel
cover by a few turns (Fig. 32).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning
screw (Fig. 34/ Item K). Turning the screw clockwise
increases the chain tension, turning it counterclock-
wise decreases the chain tension.
• The chain is correctly tensioned if it can be raised by
around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar (Fig. 33).
• Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover (Fig.
35).
m Important! All the chain links must lie properly in
the guide groove of the cutter bar.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe
operation. When the saw chain can be raised by
around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you know
that the chain tension is ideal.
During cutting, the temperature of the chain rises and
its length changes.

It is important therefore to check the chain tension at
least every 10 minutes and to adjust it again as re-
quired. This applies in particular to new saw chains.
When you have fi nished working, slacken the chain
again as it will shorten when it cools down. This will
help to prevent damage to the chain.
