Switching Off The Engine; Practical Tips - Royal RBC 41 Mode D'emploi D'origine

Anleitung_RBC_41_SPK7:_
Please note: Never allow the starter cable to
snap back. This may damage the machine.
7. Once the engine has started, move the choke
lever immediately to " " and allow the machine
to warm up for approx. 10 seconds.
Please note: Since the throttle lever is secured,
the cutting tool starts to operate when the engine
is started.Then release the throttle lever by simply
actuating it (the engine then returns to running in
idle mode).
8. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 6-7
above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
Troubleshooting".
Please 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.
7.2 Starting the engine when warm
(if the machine has not been switched off for more
than 15 – 20 minutes)
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as
described in "Starting the engine when cold").
4. Hold the machine firmly and pull out the starter
cable until you feel it start to resist. Then tug
sharply on the starter cable. The machine should
start after 1-2 tugs. If the machine does not start
after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 7 of the procedure
for starting the engine from cold.

7.3 Switching off the engine

Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the machine
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0"
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to "Stop" or "0".

7.4 Practical tips

Practice all operating techniques with the engine
switched off before you start to use the machine.
EXTENDING THE CUTTING LINE
WARNING: Do not use any kind of metal wire or
metal wire encased in plastic in the cutting head. This
may cause serious injuries to the user.

To extend the cutting line run the motor at full speed
and tap ("BUMP") the cutting head on the ground.
This will automatically extend the line. The blade on
the safety shield will cut the line to the appropriate
length (Fig. F6 / Item A).
Caution: Remove all grass and weed remains at
regular intervals to prevent the shaft tube
overheating. Grass and weed remains become
trapped under the safety shield (Fig. I2) and they
prevent the shaft tube receiving adequate ventilation.
Remove the remains carefully using a screwdriver or
the like.
DIFFERENT CUTTING METHODS
If the machine is correctly assembled with the safety
hood and cutting head it will cut weeds and long
grass in places with difficult access, for example
along fences, walls and foundations and also around
trees. It can also be used for mowing work to remove
vegetation to allow the better preparation of a garden
or to clear a certain area down to the soil.
PLEASE NOTE: Even if it is used carefully, cutting
around foundations, stone or concrete walls, etc. will
result in the line suffering more than normal wear.
TRIMMING / MOWING
Swing the trimmer from side to side in a scything
motion. Always keep the cutting head parallel to the
ground. Check the site and decide what cutting height
you require. Guide and hold the cutting head at the
required height to ensure that you cut evenly (Fig. I3).
LOWER TRIMMING
Hold the trimmer right in front of you at a slight angle
so that the underside of the cutter head is above the
ground and the line strikes the correct target. Always
cut away from yourself. Never draw the trimmer
towards yourself.
CUTTING ALONG FENCES / FOUNDATIONS
When cutting approach wire mesh fences, lath
fences, natural stone walls and foundations slowly so
that you can cut close to them without striking the
obstacle with the line. If, for example, the line strikes
stones, stone walls or foundations, it will wear or fray.
If the line strikes wire fencing it will break.
TRIMMING AROUND TREES
When trimming around tree trunks, approach slowly
so that the line does not strike the bark. Walk around
the tree, cutting from left to right. Approach grass or
weeds with the tip of the line and tilt the cutting head
forwards slightly.
