Preparing the equipment for use
ENGLISH 9
5. Preparing the equipment for use
For shipping purposes, the brushcutter is partly
disassembled and has to be reassembled prior to
use.
Only use the brushcutter after it has been fully
assembled.
Ensure that the tank is fully drained before any
assembly, disassembly or modification.
5.1 Completion - Loop handle
Model 121L, 129L and 129LTS
Install the safety end-stop (1) on the loop handle
and secure with the spring clip (2).
Note: Always install the safety end-stop (1) on the
operator side of the motorised scythe. If, during use,
you carry the brushcutter on your r.h. side, install
the safety end-stop in l.h. orientation. However, if,
during use, you carry the brushcutter on your l.h.
side, install the safety end-stop in r.h. orientation.
The loop handle can be adjusted forward by approx.
25mm, if required for balance. For special
applications, such as for trimming edges, the loop
handle can be moved 90 degrees.
To lock the loop handle in place, simply tighten
knurled nut (3) by hand and secure with lock lever
(4).
Please note: Before commencing work, check that
the loop handle has been safely secured using the
quick acting lock.
5.2 Installation - Bicycle handlebar
Model 121B, 129B and 129BTS
• Lightly secure both semi-shells (1) to the handle
using two screws (8).
• Position the handle on the handle support (2).
• Insert square nut (3) into the front of handle
support (2), and insert quick acting screw (4) with
washer (5) through the handle support, but only
far enough to allow quick acting lock (6) to be
completely folded over, whilst the handle is still
securely fitted.
• The r.h. side of handle (7) should be fitted as
near as possible to the handle support.
• For the optimum adjustment of the handle, flip
quick acting lock (6) upwards and, if necessary,
release screws (8).
• Adjust the handle and flip quick acting lock (6)
back again.
• Now tighten screws (8).
Note: You will have achieved an optimum
adjustment, if the centre of the power tool is at the
centre of your body. Your elbow should be slightly
angled in operating position.
Important: Always lead the brushcutter with the
bicycle handlebar on the r.h. side of the body!
