7. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
Before starting up the equipment remove the pro-
tective caps from the cutting blade.
7.1 Starting with a cold engine
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol
mix. See „Fuel and oil“.
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 2/Item 29)
10 times.
3. Move the On/Off switch (Fig. 2/Item 9) to „I“.
4. Set the choke lever (Fig. 2/Item 17) to „ “.
5. Hold the equipment fi rmly and pull out the
starter cable (Fig. 2/Item 14) until you feel it
begin to resist. 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.
Once the engine has started, allow the equip-
ment to warm up for 10 seconds.
Important: Since the choke lever is secured,
the cutting tool starts to operate when the
engine is started.
Then release the choke lever by actuating the
throttle lever once.
6. 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
troubleshooting“.
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 handle
when the cable retracts.
Never allow the cable to snap back when it has
been pulled out.
7.2 Starting with a warm engine
(The equipment has been idle for less than 15-20
min.)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level sur-
face.
2. Switch the On/Of switch to „I“.
3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as
described in „Starting with a cold engine“).
4. 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 after 1-2 tugs. If the
equipment does not start after 6 pulls, repeat
steps 1 – 6 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 im-
mediately, set the On/Off switch to „Stop“ or „0“.
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engi-
ne has changed to idling speed. Then set the On/
Off switch to „Stop“ or „0“.
7.4 Fitting the shoulder strap
Important! Always use the shoulder strap when
working with the equipment. Switch off the equip-
ment before you take off the shoulder strap (risk
of injury).
1. Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder.
2. Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that
the strap attachment is at waist level.
3. To establish the optimum length of the carry-
ing strap, you should then make a few swin-
ging movements without starting the engine
(Fig. 25).
7.5 Work practice
Practice all the work steps with the engine swit-
ched off before you start to use the equipment.
