Important: Never allow the starter cable
to snap back. This may damage the
machine.
Important: The cutting tool starts to operate
when the engine is started.
7. If the motor has already been started, let
it warm up for about 30 seconds. As soon
as you press the throttle lock (Fig. A/Item
7) and use the throttle (Fig. A/Item 8), the
swivelling choke automatically jumps to
Run „ " (See Fig. H2).
If the engine does not start up, repeat steps
1-7 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 cable 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. This may also cause
damage to the cable or the starter.
6.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the
equipment has not been switched off for
more than 15 – 20 minutes)
1. Set the equipment down on a hard, level
surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Fully depress the throttle lever (See Fig. H1).
4. Hold the equipment firmly and pull out the
starter cable until you feel it start to resist.
Then tug sharply on the starter cable. The
equipment should start after 1 - 2 pulls. If
the equipment does not start after 6 pulls,
repeat steps 1 – 7 of the procedure for
starting the engine from cold.
6.3 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".
Helpline No. UK 0151 649 1500 / IRE 189 094 6244
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".
6.4 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. M1).
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 guard (Fig. M2)
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 in a side to side 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. M3).
