7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage and
ordering of spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Maintenance
Always switch off the head trimmer and remove the
spark plug boot before carrying out any maintenance
work.
1. The cutter blades are high quality, made of
tempered steel and in normal use there is no
need to sharpen the blades. If you accidentally
strike a wire, stone, glass or other hard object,
this may cause a notch in the blade. There is no
need to remove the notch as long as it does not
adversely affect the movement of the cutting
edges. If it does adversely affect this movement,
switch off the machine and use a fine file or a
fine grinding stone to remove the notch. Ensure
that the blade's cutting edge is always well oiled
(see Fig. 8).
2. If you drop the hedge trimmer, check whether it
has suffered any damage. If it is damaged
contact an authorized customer service outlet or
send the machine to ISC GmbH to have it
repaired.
3. Only clean the machine after it has been
switched off. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean it. Never allow fluid to get into the
machine. Do not use caustic cleaning products.
7.2.1 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 9-11)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply
too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter
should be checked after every 25 hours of use and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust,
the air filter should be checked more frequently.
1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig. 9-10)
2. Remove the filter element (Fig. 11)
3. Clean the filter element by tapping it or blowing
it.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Please note: Never clean the air filter with petrol or
inflammable solvents. Clean the air filter with
compressed air or by tapping it.
7.2.2 Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 12-14)
Spark plug gap = 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Tighten the
spark plug with a torque of 14.7-21.5 Nm.
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10
hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a
copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug
after every 50 hours of operation.
1. Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 13) by twisting.
2. Remove the spark plug (Fig. 14) with the
supplied spark plug wrench.
3. Assemble in reverse order.
7.2.3 Maintenance of the gearbox (Fig. 15)
The gearbox must be lubricated every year before
the start of the season at the lubrication nipple (Fig.
15/Item A). Place a conventional grease gun on the
nipple and press approx. 3 strokes of conventional
machine grease into the gearbox. If you use the
trimmer frequently, grease the gearbox more often.
7.2.4 Carburetor settings
Important. Settings on the carburetor may only be
made by authorized customer service personnel.
Setting the idling speed:
Important. Set the idling speed when the machine is
warm.
If the engine stalls when the throttle is not pressed
and you have ruled out all the other causes listed in
section 9 Troubleshooting, the idling speed must be
adjusted. To do this turn the idling speed screw (Fig.
16/Item 5) clockwise until the machine runs smoothly
at idling speed.
If the idling speed is so fast that the cutting blades do
not reach a standstill, the idling speed must be
reduced by turning the idling speed screw (Fig.
16/Item 5) counterclockwise until the cutting blades
stop.
7.3 Storage
Please note: If you fail to follow these instructions
correctly, deposits may form on the interior of the
carburetor which may result in the engine being more
difficult to start or the machine suffering permanent
damage.
1. Carry out all the maintenance work.
2. Drain the fuel out of the tank (use a conventional
plastic petrol pump from a DIY store for this
purpose).
