assembly (13).
6.1.2 Fitting the steady grip
Fit the left steady grip (2b) or the right steady grip (2a)
as shown in Figs. 4-4a. The holes in the steady grips
are for receiving the screws. Tighten the screws (29)
securely at the top part of the steady grip holder (25).
6.1.3 Fastening the harness and cable
Hook the harness (15) into the holder as shown in Fig.
5. Then use the supplied cable ties (18) to fasten the
cable to the long handle and the steady grip.
6.1.4 Fitting the cutting blade guard hood
Important: The cutting blade guard hood must be
fitted if you want to work with the cutting blade. Using
the two screws M6x16 (30), secure the cutting blade
guard hood (26) to the clip provided as shown in Fig.

on the blade guard hood (26) as shown in Fig. 9.
Important: The cutting line cutter is on the cutting line
guard – risk of injury!
6.1.8 Fitting/Replacing the line spool
The procedure for fitting the line spool is shown in Fig.
10. To dismantle, proceed in reverse order.
Look for the hole in the carrier plate (32), line up with
the notch underneath and lock with the supplied Allen
key (22) in order to now screw the line spool (16) onto
the thread. Important: Left-hand thread
6.2. Adjusting the cutting height
Slip the shoulder strap (15) over your left
n
shoulder.
To establish the optimum length of the carrying
n
strap, make a few swinging movements without
starting the engine (Fig. 11a).
Important: Always use the strap when working with
the equipment. Attach the strap as soon as you have
started the engine and it is running in idle mode.
Switch off the engine before you take off the carrying
strap.
Check the equipment for the following each time
before use:
That there are no leaks in the fuel system.
n
That the equipment is in perfect condition and
n
that the safety devices and cutting devices are
complete.
That all screws are securely fastened.

6.3 Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of unleaded petrol and special 2-

the fuel mixing table.
Important: Do not use a fuel mixture which has been
stored for longer than 90 days.
Important: Never use 2-stroke oil with a
recommended mixing ratio of 100:1. The
manufacturer's warranty will be voided in case of
engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.
