Maintenance and Care

Before each maintenance and cleaning work
− Stop the engine.
− Wait until the cutting device does not longer move.
− Stop the engine and pull off the spark plug
connector (with the exception of idle speed
adjustment).
− allow the device to cool down
Do not carry out maintenance work close to open
flames. Risk of fire.
Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this
chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.
Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected
damages and injuries.

Maintenance

In order to aviod possible injuries wear gloves.
To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the hedge trimmer
carry out the following maintainance works regularly.
Check the hedge trimmer for obvious defects such as
− loose fastening elements
worn or damaged components
−
− deformed, broken or damaged cutting device
leaks from the fuel tank cap or fuel lines
−
Check the hedge trimmer after each application for
wear and tear, in particular sliding play of the cutting device
−
− correct assembly and faultless covers and protective
devices.
Necessary repair or maintainance operations have to be carried
out before the usage of the hedge trimmer.

Adjusting the cutting device

Readjust the sliding play if cut material is clamped between the
blades or the play has increased due to normal wearing of the
cutting device after a longer period of use.
To obtain good cutting results the free motion between the
blades and the sword must be correctly adjusted.

For this proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the nuts (A) on the top surface of the cutting device.
2. Slightly tighten the screws (B) on the underside (if required
loosen them previously).
3. Turn the screw back anticlockwisely by a quarter up to a half
turn.
4. Use a allen key (30) to hold the screw and firmly tighten the
nuts.

The sliding play is correctly adjusted if the washer
under the screw head can just be freely moved back
and forth by hand.
5. Lubricate the cutting device using environmental-compatible
lubricating oil.

If the play is too small, this may cause a great extent of
heating and thus damage to the device.

Lubricating the gearbox



Lubricate the gearbox every 25 operating hours.
1. Put the grease gun onto the grease filling plug (33). The
grease filling plug is located at the gearbox (on the bottom of
the hedge trimmer).
2. Force some grease into the zerk fitting.

Do not fully fill the gearbox. Grease expands due to heat
generated during operation there is the risk of damages to
seals and grease leakage when the gearbox is fully filled
with grease.
Use SHELL ALVANIA RL3, for example, or an equivalent
grease brand.

Adjusting the idle speed

The carburetor is factory-set to the correct idle speed so that the
correct fuel-air mixture is fed to the engine.

The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine runs
smoothly in every position. It should be a clear difference
to the speed at which the cutting device begins to move.
Also the cutting device may not move when the choke is
put to .
In the cases below the carburetor (idle speed) has to be
corrected:
− The cutting device continues to move at idle speed (idle
speed too high).
− Erratic running or lack of acceleration (idle speed too low)
− Adjustment to weather conditions and temperatures
An incorrect carburetor adjustment results in severe
engine damages. Do not continue working with the
machine in such a condition.

Do not continue working with the hedge trimmer in
such a condition.
Cleaning / replacing the air filter

Clean the air filter (21) from dust and dirt on a regular basis to
prevent
− starting problems,
− carburettor faults,
− loss of output,
worn engine parts
−
− too high fuel consumption.
Clean the air filter every 8 operating hours, or more frequently in
dusty environments.

1. Put the choke (20) to
coming into the carburettor.

2. Loosen the fixing screw (17) and remove the air filter
cover (18).
