2. Insert an Allen key into the hole on the side of the
lower retaining flange to prevent the gear from turn-
ing. Use the included wrench to unscrew the nut turn-
ing it clockwise.
3. Remove the upper retaining flange.
4. Mount the blade as shown in Fig. 8. Put the flange
with its flat surface onto the cutting blade (Fig. 8).
5. Use the included wrench to tighten the nut turning it
anticlockwise.
6. Secure the screw with the split pin again (Fig. 9).
7. Make sure to unblock the gear again by removing the
Allen key from the bore on the side of the retaining
flange.
8. To exchange the line cutting head with the metal blade
please proceed as follows:
Insert an Allen key into the hole on the side of the

ASSEMBLY OF THE SHAFT COuPLING
Attention: Switch off the device before mounting
the attachment. DANGEr OF INJurY !
Note: To facilitate mounting and dismounting the attach-
ment put the tool on the ground or a workbench.
1. Loosen the knob (A) by turning it anticlockwise (Fig. 10).
2. Hold the attachment (B) and push it straightly into the
quick-change coupling (C) until the release button (D)
engages into the corresponding hole (E) of the coupling
(Fig. 10+11).
3. Turn the knob (A) clockwise to tighten it (Fig. 12).
Attention: Before operation, the release button
must have engaged into the hole of the coupling
and the knob must have been tightened firmly!
ASSEMBLY OF THE SHOuLDEr STrAP
ATTENTION! - Always use the shoulder strap.
Attach the strap to the device immediately after
starting it whole the engine is idling. Always
switch the engine off first, when you detach the
strap.
1. Put the strap on; the strap must lead over your right
shoulder (Fig. 13).
2. Hook the snap hook of the shoulder strap into the
bracket provided at the main tube (Fig. 14).
3. Adjust the length of the strap such that the cutting
tool is positioned parallel to the ground, when the
strap is put over the shoulder. Determine the cor-
rect adjustment for the respectively installed cutting
tool by performing some test swings with the engine
switched off.
4. Never carry the belt diagonally across your shoulders
and chest, but rather only on one shoulder, so that
you can rapidly move away from the tool in case of
danger.
NOTE: Never start the engine with the shoulder strap
hang up.
FuEL AND OIL
FuEL
For a maximum performance of your trimmer, use regular
petrol (two-star, unleaded) mixed with a special 40:1
2-stroke engine oil. Please adhere to the mixing instruc-
tions.
ATTENTION: Do never use pure fuel without oil. This
will damage the engine and you will loose your warranty
rights. Do not use fuel mixtures that have been stored
for more than 90 days.
ATTENTION: Only use high-quality 2-stroke mixing oil
for air-cooled engines, mixture ratio 40:1.
FuEL MIXTurE
Mix the fuel with 2-stroke oil in an approved container.
Refer to the mixing table to find the required mixture ratio
for the fuel and oil. Shake the container to properly mix
the two fluids.

STArTING THE ENGINE
COLD STArT
In order not to overtax the engine when starting it, cut the
trimmer cord to 17 cm (Fig. 15).
1. Put the ignition switch in position 'I' (Fig. 16).
2. Slide the choke to position 'Start'
3. Push the fuel pump (16) 6 times (Fig. 18).
4. To push the throttle lever (9) it is necessary to first
push the locking lever (11). Pull throttle lever and
block it in half-gas position using the locking button
(12); let go of the throttle lever (fig. 19).
5.
Firmly hold the device by the handle.
rope 2-3 times (Fig. 20); to start the motor it is re-
quired to evenly, quickly pull the rope.
6. Slide the choke to 'RUN'
starter rope until the engine starts.
7. As soon as the engine starts running shortly open the
throttle to unlock the throttle lever from its half-gas
position.
8. Let the motor idle for about 10 seconds to warm up.
9. If the motor does not start
NOTE: If the engine should not start after several tries
proceed as described in the chapter 'Trouble-shooting'.
NOTE: Always pull out the starter rope straight. If you
do not pull straight the rope will chafe at the eyelet. This
chafe will cause the rope to fan out and thus to a higher
wear and tear. Always hold the starter rope handle when
the rope is pulled back. Do not let the rope flick back
when it is pulled out. This could lead to a hook-up of
the rope and/or a damage to the starter housing.
