During break-in period
A factory-new machine should not be 
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for 
the first three tank fillings. This avoids 
unnecessary high loads during the 
break-in period. As all moving parts 
have to bed in during the break-in 
period, the frictional resistances in the 
engine are greater during this period. 
The engine develops its maximum 
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
After a long period of full throttle 
operation, allow the engine to run for a 
short while at idle speed so that engine 
heat can be dissipated by the flow of 
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition, 
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After Finishing Work
Storing for a short period: Wait for the 
engine to cool down. Empty the fuel tank 
and keep the machine in a dry place, 
well away from sources of ignition, until 
you need it again. For longer out-of-
service periods – see "Storing the 
Machine".
If there is a noticeable loss of engine 
power
N Turn the choke knob to g
N Take out the screw (1) and remove 
the filter cover (2). 
N Clean away loose dirt from around 
the filter.
N Grip the filter element (3) at the 
cutout (arrow) in the filter 
housing (4) and remove it.
N Fit a new filter element. As a 
temporary measure you can knock it 
out on the palm of your hand or blow 
it out with compressed air. Do not 
wash.
N Replace damaged parts.
Installing the filter
N Install the filter element in the filter 
housing and fit the cover.
N Insert the screw and tighten it down 
firmly.
The carburetor has been set at the 
factory to provide an optimum fuel-air 
mixture under most operating 
conditions.
Adjusting Idle Speed
Engine stops while idling
N Warm up the engine for about 
3 minutes.
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA) 
slowly clockwise until the engine 
runs smoothly – the cutting 
attachment must not rotate.
Attachment runs when engine is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA) 
slowly counterclockwise until the 
cutting attachment stops running 
and then turn the screw about 
another 1/2 to 3/4 turn in the same 
direction.
WARNING
If the attachment continues to run when 
the engine is idling, have your machine 
checked and repaired by your servicing 
dealer.
