6.4 Fuel mixture table
Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil
Petrol
1 liters 25 ml
5 liters 125 ml
7. Using the home waterworks
Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may differ from town to town.
Before starting up the equipment remove the
protective caps from the cutting blade (15).
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 surface.
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 firmly and pull out the starter
cable (Fig. 1/Item 4) until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable 4 times. The
equipment should start.
Important: Never allow the starter cable to snap
back. This may damage the equipment.
Important: The cutting tool starts to operate
when the engine is started.
6. After approx. 5-10 seconds actuate the throttle
lever briefly. This will release the choke lever and
the engine will return to idling speed.
7. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 4-6
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 surface.
2-stroke oil
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the starter
cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug
sharply on the starter cable. The equipment
should start after 1-2 tugs. If the equipment does
not start after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 7 of the
procedure for starting the engine from cold.

7.3 Switching off the engine

Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the equipment
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0"
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to "Stop" or "0".

7.4 Practical tips

Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the equipment.
Extending the cutting line
Warning! 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 cutting line run the engine at full speed
and tap the line spool on the ground. This will
automatically extend the line. The blade on the safety
shield will cut the line to the appropriate length (Fig.
9b).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remains at
regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating.
Grass and weed remains become trapped under the
safety shield (Fig. 9c) and they prevent the shaft tube
receiving adequate ventilation. Remove the remains
carefully using a screwdriver or the like.
Different cutting methods
If the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut
weeds and long grass in places with difficult access,
for example along fences, walls and foundations and
also around trees. It can also be used for mowing
work to remove vegetation to allow the better
preparation of a garden or to clear a certain area
down to the soil.
Please note: Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will
result in the line suffering above normal wear.
