Attachment and operation/Working instructions for Brush Cutting and Line Trimming
Note: If there is a problem, press the switch On/Off (18) to the OFF position (Fig. 25), to stop the machine
running. To stop the cutting head from running,, release the throttle lever (17). (Fig. 25)
If any problem occurs, pull the emergency release (22), then release the brush cutter immediately. (Fig. 17)
Note: If the engine does not start up after several attempts, read the section "Troubleshoot-
ing“.
Note: Always pull the starter cable (16) 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.
Note: Do not start the motor in tall grass.
m ATTENTION! When the engine has been switched off, the cutter continues running for sever-
al seconds therefore do not stand close to cutting head until the cutter has come to a standstill!
8. Working instructions for Brush Cutting and Line Trimming
8.1 Extending the cutting line
m CAUTION! 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. Fig. 26
The integrated blade (35) on the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate length. (Fig. 14)
m IMPORTANT! Slide the switch on/off (18) to the ‘OFF’ position. Remove all grass and weed
remnants at regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube overheating. Lawn, grass and weed
remnants become trapped under the safety shield and prevent the shaft tube from receiving
adequate ventilation. Remove the remnants carefully using a screwdriver or the like. (Fig. 27)
8.2 Different cutting methods
When the equipment is correctly assembled it will cut weeds and long grass in places which
are difficult to access, e.g. along fences, walls and foundations and also around trees. It can
also be used for "mowing“ down vegetation so that a garden can be better prepared or a cer-
tain area cleared down to the soil. (Fig. 28)
m ATTENTION! Even if it is used carefully, cutting around foundations, stone or concrete walls,
etc. will result in the line suffering more than normal wear.
8.3 Trimming/mowing
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything motion. Always keep the line spool parallel
to the ground. Check the site and decide which cutting height you require. Guide and hold
the line spool at the required height to obtain an even cut. (Fig. 28)
