(Fig. 10). Before using the unit

again, have the ignition switch

checked by a specialist workshop!

Holding the lawn trimmer

Before using the unit, place

yourself in the operating position

(Fig. 12). Check the following:

– The user is wearing eye protec-

tion and the correct clothing.

– The shoulder strap has been

set to the correct height.

– The handle bar has been set

in such a way that you can grip

it with both hands without having

to stretch out your arms.

– The unit is below waist height.

– Hold the cutting attachment

parallel to the ground so that

the vegetation to be cut can

easily be reached without the

user having to bend forward.

Setting the length

of the trimmer line

(depending on model)

You can release the trim line with

the bump knob cutting attachment

without stopping the engine.

To release more line, tap the

cutting attachment on the ground

(Fig. 13) while running the lawn

trimmer at a higher speed.

Note

The trim line should always

be at max. length.

The shorter the trim line becomes,

the more difficult it is to release.

Each time the head is bumped,

approx. 25 mm of cutting line are

released. A blade in the cutting

attachment cover cuts the line back

to the correct length if too much line

is released.

!

English Operating manual

10

It is best to bounce the bump head

on bare ground or hard earth.

If you attempt to release the trim

line in tall grass, the engine may

stall. Always keep the trim line fully

extended. The shorter the trim line

is, the more difficult it is to release.

Note

Do not run the bump head along

the ground.

The line may break by:

– becoming entangled with foreign

objects,

– normal material fatigue,

– attempting to cut thick-stalked

weeds,

– striking walls, garden fences, etc..

Tips for best trim results

– Keep the cutting attachment

parallel to the ground.

– Use only the tip of the line for

cutting, especially along walls.

If more than the tip is used for

cutting, the cutting capacity

is reduced and the engine may

overload.

– Cut grass which is taller than

20 cm from the top down in small

stages to prevent premature

wear of the line and engine

resistance.

– If possible, cut from left to right.

Cutting to the right improves

the cutting capacity of the unit.

Grass clippings are then ejected

by the user.

– Slowly move the lawn trimmer

at the required height in and

out of the cutting area.

Walk either forwards and back-

wards or from side to side.

Better results are achieved

by cutting shorter pieces.

– Cut dry grass and weeds only.

The service life of the cutting line

depends on the following:

– following of the previous cutting

tips,

– the vegetation which is to be cut,

– where it is cut.

For example, a line wears out

more quickly if it is cutting against

a house wall than around a tree.

Decorative cutting

You will receive a decorative cut if

you cut all vegetation around trees,

posts, fences, etc.

Rotate the whole unit until you

are holding the cutting attachment

at an angle of 30° to the ground

(Fig. 14).

Working with the cutting

blade (depending on model)

Before using the unit, place your-

self in the operating position

(Fig. 12). See Holding the lawn

trimmer.

Tips for working with the cutting

blade:

– Cut rhythmically.

– Stand firmly but comfortably

on the ground.

– Before you start cutting, set

the unit to full speed.

At full speed the blade has

maximum cutting force and will

therefore not jam so easily, stick

or cause blade impacts which

may result in serious injury

to the user or other persons.

– When cutting, move the upper

part of your body from right

to left.

– Always release the throttle and

reduce the engine to no load

when you are not cutting.

– Rotate the unit in the same

direction in which the blade

is cutting. This promotes cutting.

– Move one or two steps to the

next trimming area after swinging

back the unit and stand firmly

again.

Follow these instructions to prevent

vegetation from wrapping itself

around the blade:

– Cut at full speed.

– Swing from right to left into

the vegetation which

is to be cut (Fig. 15).

– When swinging back, avoid

vegetation which has just

been cut.

Using approved accessory

equipment from the

Trimmer-Plus range

Caution

Follow all instructions in the

manuals for the Trimmer-Plus

accessory equipment.

Notes

– Before installing the Trimmer-

Plus accessory equipment,

insert the spacer (24, Fig. 1)

into the shaft coupling (Fig. 30).

– The Trimmer-Plus accessory

equipment is installed/removed

in the same way as described

in the section Installing/

removing the lower drive shaft".

Maintenance and cleaning

Caution

Before working on the unit:

– Switch off the engine.

– Wait until all moving parts have

come to standstill; the engine

must have cooled down.

– Remove spark-plug terminal

from the engine to prevent

the engine from starting

unintentionally.

Have all repairs carried out

by a specialist workshop only.

At the end of the season have

the unit inspected and serviced

by a specialist workshop.

Do not splash the unit with water,

otherwise electric components may

be damaged. Clean the unit after

every use. Failure to clean the unit

can damage the materials and

cause malfunctions.

Installing the cutting line

(depending on model)

Always use a replacement cutting

line with a diameter of 3.0 mm.

If using a cutting line which has

a length other than the one indica-

ted, the engine may overheat

or misfire. There are two methods

of replacing the cutting line:

– Winding a new line onto

the spool

– Fitting a spool with a prewound

line
