and wavy washer (20) from the handle support
(14)
• Take off the two half shells (a) from the handle
support.
• Position the two-handed "bike handle" (5) with the
two half shells (a) on the handle support (14).
• Insert quick release screw (15) with sleeve (19)
and wavy washer (20) into the handle support, but
only so far that the quick release mechanism can
still flip over when the handle is sitting tight. The
quick release mechanism can be flipped over to
the front or rear. If the handle is not quite tight yet,
tighten the quick release screw another half turn
and flip the mechanism to the opposite side.
• The r.h. side of handle should be fitted as near as
possible to the handle support..
• In order to adjust the handle to the perfect
position, flip up the quick release mechanism and
loosen the screw one turn if necessary.
• Adjust the handle and screw the quick release
screw (15) back in again, then flip the quick
release mechanism back over.
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!

balance the brushcutter the hook is hung in one of
the various fastening holes. Release the strap on the
respective hook.
The cutting tool must come to rest directly above the
ground (0 cm - 10 cm) when your hands are off the
attached brushcutter.
