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.
NOTE: Do not start the motor in tall grass.
ATTENTION: When the engine has been switched off, the cutter
continues running for several seconds; therefore, do not touch the
cutter head until it has come to a complete standstill.
Working instructions
Extending the cutting line
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.
The blade on the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate
length.
IMPORTANT: 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 tool. Do not use bare
hands.
