The following instructions are aimed at increasing
the service life of the starter rope and of the starter
mechanism:
• Always pull the rope out in a straight line.
• Do not let the rope drag across the edge of the
rope eyelet.
• Do not pull rope all the way out - risk of the rope
breaking.
• Always manually guide the rope back into its
start position with your hand on the starter grip -
do not let it retract on its own.
A specialist can replace a damaged starter rope.
8.4 Turning off the engine:
Release the throttle and push the stop switch to
"STOP".
Please note: Due to the centrifugal clutch, the tool
will run on for a short time despite the throttle
being released and the engine being switched off.
Ensure the tool has fully stopped before putting
the machine down.
8.5 Engine will not start:
If the engine fails to start after several attempts,
check whether all adjustments described above
have been correctly carried out, particularly that
the stop switch is not in the "STOP" position. Try
starting once again. The combustion chamber will
be flooded, if the engine still fails to start.
In that case we recommend you proceed as
follows:
Stop switch on "STOP"
• Remove the spark plug cover.
• Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug.
• Remove the spark plug and dry fuel mixture
from the electrodes.
• Move the throttle lever up to full throttle. Pull the
starter handle several times (with removed
spark plug) to clear the combustion chamber.
• Move the throttle lever down to idling position,
refit the spark plug, the plug cap and the plug
cover.
• Then:
- Position choke lever down ("warm start")
- Slide stop switch into operating position
- Lock the throttle lever at half throttle
- Turn on engine.
Starting / Stopping the engine; Operating and maintenance instructions
9. Operating and maintenance instructions
9.1 General operating and maintenance
The maintenance and the repair of modern
machines as well as their safety-relevant
assemblies require qualified specialised training
and a workshop equipped with special tools and
test equipment. Consequently the manufacturer
recommends that all tasks not described in these
operating instructions be carried out by a
specialised workshop. That specialist has the
required training, experience, and equipment at his
disposal, to provide you with the most cost-
effective solution for such work. He will provide
additional help in word and deed.
The instructions refer to elements of the power
tool, but only when using the complete unit with an
approved changeover tool correctly fitted. For the
elements of the changeover tool, observe the
information in the operating instructions of the
changeover tool.
After a running-in time of app. 5 hours, all
accessible screws and nuts (except the carburettor
adjusting screws) must be checked for tightness
and they must be retightened, if required.
It is best to store the equipment in a dry, safe
location with a full fuel tank. There should be no
open flame or similar nearby. When not using the
equipment for longer periods, (longer than four
weeks), see chapter "9.7 Shutdown and storage".
9.2 Information about the silencer
Your engine appliance has reduced exhaust
emissions which are considerably lower than the
statutory limits. The silencer creates a great deal
of heat during operation as a result. Do not touch
the silencer whilst it is still hot. Discolouration of
the outer silencer housing is quite normal.
