5. Before starting the machine
5.1 Fuel and oil
Recommended fuels
Use only a mixture of normal unleaded petrol and special
2-stroke engine oil. Mix the fuel mixture as indicated on
the fuel mixing table.
Please note:
Do not use a fuel mixture which has been
kept for longer than 90 days.
Please note:
Do not use 2-stroke oil with a recommended
mixing ration of 100:1. If inadequate lubrication causes
engine damage, the manufacturer’s engine warranty will
be voided.
Please note:
Only use containers designed and approved
for the purpose to transport and store fuel.
Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oil into
the mixing bottle (see scale printed on the bottle). Then
shake the bottle well.
5.2 Fuel mixture table
Mixing procedure: 40 parts petrol to 1 part oil
6. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise
abatement may differ from town to town.
6.1 Starting the engine from cold (Fig. 3-5)
Fill the tank with the required amount of oil/petrol mix.
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2. Set the choke lever (Fig. 4/Item 5) to “ ”.
3. Press the fuel pump (primer) (Fig. 4/Item 9) 10 times.
4. Set the throttle lever to full throttle. To do so, press
the throttle lock (Fig. 3/Item 13).
5. With the other hand pull out the starter cable (Fig.
5/Item A) until you feel it starts to resist. Now pull the
starter cable rapidly 4 times.
Important: Never allow the starter cable to snap
back. This may damage the equipment.
6. Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 3/Item 6) to "l"
7.
Pull the starter cable up to 6 more times.
Note:
amount of choke will vary slightly. Depending on
the external temperature. (Warm = Choke Off " ",
Cold = Choke On " "
8.
If the engine has started, set the choke lever
immediately to " " and allow the machine to warm up
for approximately 10 seconds.
9. If the engine does not start up , repeat steps
7 - 8 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.
6.2 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. Hold the machine by the front handle in your right
hand and pull the starter cable up to the first
resistance point (approx. 10 cm). 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 – 8 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”
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
Never allow the machine to run at low speed for starting
or for cutting.
Cutting for dense growth: The most effective method is
to use wide, sweeping movements, guiding the cutting
edge of the blade straight through the branches. A slight
incline of the blade downwards towards the movement
will produce best cutting results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like
along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level
height. The branches above it will be cut off. (Fig. 6)
Cutting the side of a hedge: Cut the sides of the hedge
with curve-shaped movements from the bottom up. (Fig. 7)
Please note: As a result of its design, if you work with the
machine on its side for a lengthy period and the tank not
completely filled, the motor may stall.
