2-stroke oil into the mixing bottle (see scale
printed on the bottle). Then shake the bottle well.

7. OPERATION
Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may diff er from one location to another.
Before starting up the equipment remove the protective
caps from the cutting blade.
7.1 Starting the engine when cold
Fill an adequate amount of petrol into the tank.
▶ Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
▶ Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 1/Item 7) 10 times.
▶ Put the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 9) to „I".
▶ Secure the throttle lever. To do so, press the throt-
tle lever lock (Fig. 1/Item 12) and then press the throt-
tle lever (Fig. 1/Item 11) and lock the throttle lever by
pressing the lock (Fig. 1/Item 10) at the same time.
▶ Set the choke lever (Fig. 1/Item 5) to „ „.
▶ Grip the device fi rmly and pull the starter cable (Fig.
1/Item 4) out until you feel the fi rst resistance. Then
tug sharply on the starter cable 6 times. The device
should start.
Note! Never allow the starter line to snap back. This
may result in damage. Once the engine has started, move
the choke lever immediately to " " and allow the device to
warm up for approx. 60 seconds.
Warning! Since the throttle lever is secured, the cutting
tool will start to operate when the engine is started.
Then release the throttle lever by actuating it once.
▶ 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 Troubleshoot-
ing". 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 han-
dle 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.)
▶ Set the equipment down on a hard, level surface.
18 | English
▶ Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
▶ Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the starter
cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug sharply
on the starter cable. The equipment should start af-
ter 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.
8. WORKING WITH THE
GASOLINE GRASS TRIMMER
Extending the cutting line
Caution! Do not use any kind of metal wire or met-
al 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 auto-
matically extend the line. The blade on the safety
shield will cut the line to the appropriate length
(Fig. 26).
Important: Remove all grass and weed remnants
at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube
overheating. Lawn, grass and weed remnants be-
come trapped under the safety shield (Fig. 27) and
prevent the shaft tube from receiving adequate
ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using
a screwdriver or the like.
Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut
weeds and long grass in places which are diffi cult to
access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations and also
around trees. It can also be used for „mowing" down vege-
tation so that a garden can be better prepared or a certain
