• Check that all safety devices are in proper condition.
Start Fig. 17, 19-23
Once the machine has been set up properly, start the en-
gine as follow:
1. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. Fig. 20
2. Put the choke lever on the
3. Press the fuel pump more than 5 times. Fig. 19
4. Pull the recoil starter handle (9) 3-5 times to start the
engine. Fig. 21
Never place feet on the shaft or kneel on it.
5. Wait a while adjust the choke lever to
Fig. 22
6. To start the cutting tools, operate the release lever
(8) with the palm of your hand, and the throttle lever
(11) with your fingers. The further you push the throt-
tle lever, the higher the motor speed. When releas-
ing the throttle lever, the motor becomes idle and the
cutting tools stop. Fig.23. The cutting tools should
not continue turning and should not move when the
motor is idle.
7. If there are problems, immediately turn the motor
switch (7) to "0" so the motor stops. Caution: The
cutting tools may continue turning for a few seconds.

8. If any problem occurs, pull the pin of safety belt, then
release the brush cutter immediately. Fig. 17
9. If the motor is warm, you can leave the choke lever in
the "warm start and work" position.
Note: If the engine does not start up even after several
attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshooting".
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.
m Attention: When the engine has been switched off,
the cutting unit continues running for several seconds
therefore do not touch the cutting unit until it has come
to a standstill!
9. Working instructions
Working with brush cutter / grass trimmer
• When you work with the petrol brush cutter for the first
time, familiarize yourself with the operation and control
of the petrol cutting blade without running engine.
• The design of the petrol brush cutter allows for opera-
tion only at the right side of the user's body.
• Keep the petrol brush cutter firmly with both hands on
the handles.
• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to ro-
tate briefly after the throttle has been released.
position. Fig. 20
position.
• Always so that the cutting tool no longer turns in a
proper engine idle not press down the throttle.
• Always work with high speed so you have the best cut-
ting results.
• Poke when working on a stone or a tree, turn off the
engine and remove the spark plug then examine the
petrol brush cutter for damage.
• Caution: Always be extra careful when working in dif-
ficult terrain and slopes. Cut tall grass gradually so as
not to overload the unit.
• Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection
and a safety helmet.
Mowing with grass trimmer
• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also at un-
even edges, fencing posts, and trees.
• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle,
and use the tip of the line to cut around the obsta-
cle. When the trimming line comes into contact with
stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or breaks
off ahead of time.
• Swing the petrol cutting blade like a normal scythe horizon-
tally from right to left and back again. You define the cutting
height depending on how high you are holding the tool.
• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.
RISK OF INJURIES
Mowing with brush cutter and hedge trimmer
Use the cutting blade to comb through brushwood, rank
growth, young tree populations (trunk diameter of maxi-
mum 2 cm), and high grass.
• While using metal cutting tools, there is generally a risk
of recoil, when the tool hits a solid obstacle (stones,
trees, branches, etc.). Thereby, the tool is hurled back-
wards against the rotating direction.
• To cut rank growth and brushwood, you "immerse" the
cutting blade from the top.
CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this work-
ing technique, because the further away the cutting tool
is from the ground, the higher is the risk that objects to
be cut and particles will be hurled sideways.
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. Nev-
er 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 balance, it must
be replaced.
