• Release both levers until they click into place in
the notch.
• Before use, check that the adjustment levers have
clicked into place properly. Fig. 49
Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time
before starting work, with environmentally friendly lu-
bricant.
Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well.
Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been
turned o.
Caution: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the
bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of
pieces hurled away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting
blade, take note of following points:
• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is
larger than 2 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages.
Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt,
it must be sharpened according to instructions.
When the cutting blade is apparently out of bal-
ance, it must be replaced.
Working with pole saw
Oiling of the chain and bar
It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.
• Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig. 54 / L)
• Fill the chain oil tank (Fig. 54 / M )) to 80% with
chain oil.
• Close Oil tank cap (Fig. 54 / L)
Oil Supply Control
Always make sure that the automatic oil system is
working properly. Always ensure the oil tank is full.
During sawing work, the guide and the chain must
always be suciently oiled to reduce friction with the
chain bar.
The chain bar and the chain must never be without
oil. If you operate the chain dry or with too little oil,
the cutting performance will decrease, the service
life of the chain bar will reduce, the chain will become
blunt quickly and the guide will wear rapidly owing to
overheating. You can detect a lack of oil from smoke
development or the guide changing colour.
To check the chain lubrication keep the chain on a
piece of paper and give full throttle for a few seconds.
On the paper the quantity of oil can be checked. The
saw chain must always throw o a little oil. After a
few seconds, a slight oil trace must be visible.
Make sure that there is always enough oil in the tank
because chain lubrication is always on.
• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle,
and use the tip of the line to cut around the ob-
stacle. When the trimming line comes into contact
with stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or
breaks o ahead of time.
• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.
RISK OF INJURIES
Mowing with grass trimmer
• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also at
uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.
• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle,
and use the tip of the line to cut around the ob-
stacle. When the trimming line comes into contact
with stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or
breaks o ahead of time.
• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.
Risk of injuries
Automatic thread trimming Fig. 44
The petrol cutting blade is delivered with a lled line
cassette.
This line will wear out during work. To feed new line,
forcefully press the head of the line cassette onto the
ground while the engine is running at working speed.
The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal force.
The knife at the line guard will shorten the trimming
line to the correct length.
Run the trim line approach cautiously to an obstacle
and cut with the tip of the line around the obstacle.
Working with hedge trimmer
• The hedge trimmer may be used only for cutting
hedges, bushes and shrubs
• Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands on a safe
distance from the body.
• Due to its double sided knives the hedge trimmer
can be guided forward and backward or by oscillat-
ing movements from one to another side.
• At rst cut the sides of the hedge and then the up-
per edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge in trapezium shape.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of
the hedge (e.g. wires) as these can damage the
knives of the hedge trimmer.
• Attention! The blades are still running! Do not stop
the blades with your hand.
Angle adjustment
By swivelling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can
be adjusted to the working conditions from +90° to
-75°. Fig. 49.
• Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has
been turned o.
• Push both levers down and put the cutter head in
the required position. Fig. 49
