6. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may differ from one location to
another.
Operate and start the equipment only outdoors in well
ventilated areas to reduce the danger of injury from
toxic gases.
6.1 Starting the engine from cold (Fig. 3-5)
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol mix.
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 4/Item 5) to " ".
3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 4/Item 9) 10
times.
4. Move the On/Off switch (Fig. 3/Item 6) to "I".
5. Hold the machine by the front handle in your left
hand and pull the starter cable (Fig. 5/Item A) up
to the first resistance point (approx. 10 cm) with
your right hand. Then tug sharply on the starter
cable 4 times. The equipment should start.
Important: Never allow the starter line to snap
back. This may result in damage.
6. Once the engine has started, allow the equipment
to warm up for 10 seconds.
Important: Since the choke lever is secured, the
cutting tool will start to operate when the engine is
started.
Actuate the choke lever once to release the
throttle (Item 14). (The engine will then return to
idle mode.) Remember: Before you can actuate
the throttle lever, you must press the throttle lever
"Release" lever through as far as the stop.
7. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 5-6.

Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
troubleshooting".
Please note: Always pull the starter cable out in a
straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, friction will
occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the
cable will become frayed and will wear away faster.
6.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the
machine has not been switched off for more than
15-20 minutes)
2-stroke oil
1. Put the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
2. Move the On/Off switch to "I".
3. Hold the machine by the front handle in your left
hand and pull the starter cable up to the first
resistance point (approx. 10 cm) with your right
hand. 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.
6.3 Switching off the engine
Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the machine
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".
6.4 Practical tips
Never allow the machine to run at low speed for
starting or for cutting.
Cutting for dense growth: The most effective
method is to use wide, sweeping movements,
guiding the cutting edge of the blade straight through
the branches. A slight incline of the blade downwards
towards the movement will produce best cutting
results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the
like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a
level height. The branches above it will be cut off.
(Fig. 6)
Cutting the side of a hedge: Cut the sides of the
hedge with curve-shaped movements from the
bottom up. (Fig. 7)
Please note: As a result of its design, if you work
with the machine on its side for a lengthy period and
the tank not completely filled, the motor may stall.
