• Always make sure that the cutting tool continues to rotate briefly after the throttle has been released.
• Always so that the cutting tool no longer turns in a proper engine idle not press down the throttle.
• Always work with high speed so you have the best cutting results.
• Poke when working on a stone or a tree, turn off the engine and remove the spark plug then examine the petrol brush cutter for damage.
• Caution: Always be extra careful when working in difficult terrain and slopes. Cut tall grass gradually so as not to overload the unit.
• Always wear safety glasses hearing protection and a safety helmet.
• Use the cutting blade to comb through brushwood, rank growth, young tree populations (trunk diameter of maximum 2 cm), and high grass.
• While using metal cutting tools, there is generally a risk of recoil, when the tool hits a solid obstacle (stones, trees, branches, etc.). Thereby, the tool is hurled backward against the rotating direction.
• To cut rank growth and brushwood, you “immerse” the cutting blade from the top.
• CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this working technique, because the further away the cutting tool is from the ground, the higher the risk that objects to be cut and particles will be hurled sideways.

Mowing with a grass trimmer

• Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut and also at uneven edges, fencing posts, and trees.
• Carefully advance the trimming line to an obstacle, and use the tip of the line to cut around the obstacle.
• When the trimming line comes into contact with stones, trees, and walls, the line wears out or breaks off ahead of time.
• Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.

RISK OF INJURIES

• Automatic thread trimming (Fig. 36)
• The petrol cutting blade is delivered with a filled line cassette.
• This line will wear out during work. To feed a new line, forcefully press the head of the line cassette onto the ground while the engine is running at working speed.
• The line is automatically fed due to centrifugal force.
• The knife at the line guard will shorten the trimming line to the correct length.
• Run the trim line approach cautiously to an obstacle and cut with the tip of the line around the obstacle.

Working with a hedge trimmer

• The hedge trimmer may be used only for cutting hedges, bushes, and shrubs.
• Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands at a safe distance from the body.
• The maximal diameter to cut depends on the wood’s type, age, moisture,e and hardness.
• Therefore cut very thick branches using branch shears to your desired length before trimming the hedge.
• Due to its double-sided knives, the hedge trimmer can be guided forward and backward or by oscillating movements from one to another side.
• At first, cut the sides of the hedge and then the upper edge.
• Cut the hedge from the bottom up.
• Cut the hedge ina  trapezium shape.
• Stretch a guide over the complete length of the hedge when you want to shorten the upper edge of the hedge evenly.
• Trim in several passes if you have to cut down a large portion of the hedge.
• Remove unconditionally any foreign objects out of the hedge (e.g. wires) as these can damage the knives of the hedge trimmer.

Best time for hedge trimming:

• Leave hedge: June and October
• Conifer hedge: April and August
• Quickly growing hedge: from May and then every 6 weeks
• Pay attention to breeding birds in the hedge. If so, put off hedge trimming or leave this area out.

Angle adjustment

• By swiveling the cutter head, the hedge trimmer can be adjusted to the working conditions from +90° to -75°. Fig. 42.
• Warning! Adjust the angle only when the motor has been turned off.
• Push both levers down and put the cutter head in the required position. Fig. 41
• Release both levers until they click into place in the notch.
• Before use, check that the adjustment levers have clicked into place properly. Fig. 42
• Oil the blades and the angle adjustment each time before starting work, with environmentally friendly lubricant.
• Regularly oil the blades during working hours as well.
• Warning! Oil the tool only when the motor has been turned off.
• Caution: Incorrect use and misuse can damage the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of pieces hurled away.
• To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting blade, take note of the following points:
• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is larger than 2 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages. Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes blunt, it must be sharpened according to instructions. When the cutting blade is apparently out of balance, it must be replaced.

Working with a pole saw Oiling of the chain and bar

• It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.
• Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig. 47 / L)
• Fill the chain oil tank (Fig. 47 / M ) to 80% with chain oil.
• Close the Oil tank cap (Fig. 47 / L)

Oil Supply Control

• Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain,
• Bar and Sprocket Oil.
• Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cutting operations is essential to minimize friction with the guide bar.
• Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of the chain, and lead to excessive wear of the bar from overheating. Too little
• oil is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration.
• To check the saw chain lubrication, hold the chain saw with the saw chain over a piece of paper and give it a few seconds of full throttle.
• The oil quantity can be checked on the paper. The chain must always be thrown off a small amount of oil. After a few seconds, a light oil trail must be visible. Automatic oiler system

Fine adjustment Fig 49.

• Use screw (R) to reduce or increase the amount of oil.
• Clockwise – oil quantity is reduced (-)
• Counterclockwise – oil quantity increases (+)

Precautions for Saw procedure

• Never stand under the branch you want to see. Use special caution when working with branches under tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces of wood. In general, it is recommended to set the pruning saw at an angle of 60 ° to the road.
• Keep both hands well with the device during the cutting process and pay you up to an equilibrium position and a good level.
• Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss of control of your tool can cause serious injury or death. Never work on a ladder, a tree branch, or other unstable surfaces.
• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter bar.
• Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly adjusted.
• Practice guiding the device with slight pressure, but you do not overload the motor.
• Clear the work area before cutting interfering branches and undergrowth. Then you create a retreat area, far from the spot where the cut branches fall on, and remove any obstacles there.
• Keep the work area clean, and remove the cut branches immediately. Pay attention to your point, wind direction, and the possible direction of fall of the branches.
• Be prepared so that fallen branches can strike back. Place all other tools and equipment at a safe distance from the branches to be cut, but not in the retreat area.
• Always observe the condition of the tree.
• Look for rot and decay in the roots and branches.
• If they are rotten inside, they can break off and fall unexpectedly during cutting.
• You could also attend by fractured and dead branches, which is solved by the shake and fall on you.
• For very thick or heavy branches you first make a small incision below the branch before you work from the top down to avoid chipping.

Basic cutting technique

• Heavy branches break off easily when sawing. They tear long strips of bark away from the trunk, which damages the tree sustainably. The following section technique can significantly reduce this risk:
• Saw the first branch about 10 cm from the trunk.
• Put in about 15 cm from the base of the top of a further section.
• Saw until the branch breaks. The risk of injury on the trunk is no.
• Finally, remove with a clean cut from the top of the trunk along the remaining.
• Thus, the damage to the tree is kept as low as possible, we recommend the interface additionally to seal with grafting wax.

Hazards by reactive forces

• Reactive forces occur during the operation of the saw chain. The forces which are applied to the wood are against the operator. They occur when the moving chain comes into contact with a fixed object such as a branch or is pinched. These forces can lead to a loss of control and injury.
• Understanding the origin of these forces can help you to avoid the scare and the loss of control. This saw is designed to make the return effects not as noticeable as with traditional chain saws.
• Always still keep a firm grip and a good level to maintain control of the tool in doubt.

The most common effects are:

• setback
• recoil,
• retreat

Kickback

• The setback can occur when the moving saw chain meets at the upper quarter of the guide rail on a solid object or is pinched.
• The cutting force exerted on the chain from the saw, a rotational force in the opposite direction to the chain travel. This leads to an upward movement of the guide rail.

Avoid kickback
The best protection is to avoid situations that lead to setbacks.

1. Keep the position of the upper guide rail always in mind.
2. Leave this place and never come into contact with an object. Cut anything with it. Be especially careful near wire fences and cutting small, hard knots, in which the chain can easily pinch.
3. Cut only one branch at a time.

Withdrawal

• The withdrawal occurs when the chain on the underside of the bar is suddenly stuck because it is jammed or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The chain then pulls the saw forward. The withdrawal often happens when the chain is not running at full speed when in contact with the wood.

Avoid withdrawal

• Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to jamming of the chain on the underside of the bar. Always start with running at full speed chain to cut.

Recoil

• The recoil occurs when the chain on top of the rail is suddenly stuck because it is jammed or encounters a foreign object in the wood. The chain can jerkily hold the saw against the operator. Rebounds happen often if the top rail is used for cutting.

Avoid recoil

• Be aware of the forces and situations that can lead to the jamming of the chain on top of the rail.
• Do not cut more than one branch at a time.
• Do not tilt the rail to the side when you pull them out of a cutting gap, since the chain could get caught otherwise.

Operation Leaf blower

• Do not smoke while refueling or operating equipment.
• Do not touch or let your hands or body come in contact with a hot muffler or spark plug wire.
• Due to the danger of exhaust fumes, never operate the blower in a confined or poorly ventilated area.
• Use the tool only in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.
• Do not underestimate the forces involved. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
• If possible, avoid using the tool on wet grass.
• Ensure that you maintain a steady foothold particularly while working on slopes.
• Always walk. Never run.
• Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
• Never direct the blow hole at persons or animals.
• The machine may only be used at reasonable times of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or late evening when it will be a nuisance to other people. Permitted times of use specified by local authorities must be observed.
• The machine must be run at the lowest possible motor speed required to carry out the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush before starting any blowing work.
• Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface a little, or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that the air current can work near the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows, etc., and blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
• If the device makes abnormal noises or has unusually high levels of vibration, it must be checked. Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the operator and damage the unit.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards or shields, or without devices, for example debris collector in place
• Do not expose the hot engine to flammable materials
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios, paths, driveways, lawns, bushes, and borders.
• Select the blow function using the selector lever on the side of the machine and switch it on.
• Alternatively, hold the nozzle just above the ground and swing the machine from side to side, moving forward, and directing the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap

Maintenance

WARNING: Always wear protective gloves when working on or around cutting tools. For non-use, transport or storage always attach the transport guard to all cutting tools. Fig. 1 (14a, 15a, 17a) Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, always turn off the engine and pull out the spark boot plug.

1. Do not spray the unit with water. It damages the engine.
2. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.
3. Use a moist piece of cloth to clean the plastic parts. Do not use any cleaning agents, solvents, or sharp objects.
4. During work, wet grass and weeds wrap around the drive shaft below the cutting guard for technical reasons. Remove this, otherwise the engine will overheat because of too much friction. Fig. 38

Regular checks
Keep in mind that the following specifications relate to normal usage. Owing to circumstances (longer periods of daily work, severe dust exposure, etc.), the specified intervals will become correspondingly shorter.

• Before starting work, after tank filling, after impact or dropping:
• Check the cutting tools for secure seating, and general visual check for cracks and damage.
• Immediately replace damaged or blunt-cutting tools, even in the event of minor hairline cracks.
• Sharpen cutting tools (also when required).
• Weekly inspection: Lubrication of gear (also, if necessary).
• If necessary: Retighten accessible fastening screws and nuts. You will avoid excessive wear and tear and damage to the tool when you follow the instructions in this manual.

Replacing the line spool/cutting line Fig. 24-29

1. Pull off the line guard cap from the line spool (5) by forcefully pressing between the retaining plates.
2. Remove the spool with the line remaining and the compression spring.
3. Remove the used-up spool.
4. Take the new line spool and pull out 10 cm at both lines each.
5. Now, place the line spool (5) on the tapered spring, and guide both lines each through the round metal lugs at the line spool housing.
6. Then place the spool cover on the new line spool (5). Turn it so that the plates of the spool cover are pushed with the springs in the line spool housing.
7. Now, press the spool cover together with the line spool, until it engages in the line spool housing.
8. The knife (A) in the protective hood (18) shortens the trimming line to the correct length when the engine starts again.

Grinding the safety hood blade Fig. 18 (A)

• The safety hood blade can become blunt over time.
• When you notice this, undo the screw holding the safety hood blade on the safety hood.
• Clamp the blade in a vise.
• Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process. File in one direction only.
• Important! Reassemble the cutting knife.
• Replacing and resharpening the cutting blade at the end of the mowing season always resharpen the cutting blade or, if required, replace the cutting blade with a new one.

Grinding cutter blade (17)

• If the blade is only slightly dull, they can re-sharpen themselves.
• Clamp the blade in a vise.
• Sharpen the blade with a flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting edge is not altered in the process. (~25°) File in one direction only.
• Replace the blade at the latest after five times sharpening.
• Replace the blade with heavy wear or broken blade.
• Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vibrate violently- the risk of an accident!

Lubricate angle transmission, Brush cutter Fig. 8 (O)

• Lubricate with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw Fig. 8 (O) and put in the grease, turning the shaft manually until grease emerges, then replace the screw.
• Attention! Fill only a small amount of grease. Do not overfill.

Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 30-31

• Check the spark plug air gap at least once a year or when the engine starts poorly. The correct gap between the ignition flag and the ignition contact is 0.25”/0.63 mm.
• Wait until the engine has cooled down completely.
• Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug, and use the supplied spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug by turning.
• When the electrode is severely worn out or reveals a strong incrustation, the spark plug must be replaced with an equivalent plug.
• A strong incrustation of the spark plug can be caused by the amount of oil being too high in the gasoline mix, poor oil quality, an old gasoline mix, or a plugged-up air filter.
• Screw the spark plug by hand completely into the thread. (Avoid jamming it)
• Use the supplied spark plug wrench to tighten the spark plug.
• When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque is 12-15 Nm.
• Plug the spark plug socket correctly on the plug.

Clean the air filter Fig. 32-35

• Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supplying too little air to the carburetor. Dust and pollen plug up the pores of the filter made of foamed plastic.
• Regular checks are therefore essential.
• Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element.
• To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace the air filter cover.
• Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse, and allow drying naturally.
• Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents.
• In order not to shorten the service life of the engine, a damaged air filter must be replaced at once.

Warning! Never run the engine without the air filter element installed.

Care of the guide rail
Turn the rail around every time you have the chain sharpened or replaced. This will avoid a one-sided wear of the rail, especially at the top and bottom.

Regularly clean

1. = the opening for the oil supply
2. = The oil passage
3. = the raceway groove of the rai

Servicing and sharpening of saw chain The correct sharpened chain

Working effectively with the chainsaw is only possible if the chain is in good condition and sharp. This also reduces the risk of kickback. The chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you have the necessary special tools and experience. A properly sharpened chain goes way through the wood and it requires very little pressure. Do not work with a dull or damaged chain. It increases physical exertion, increases the vibrations, and leads to unsatisfactory results and higher wear.

• Clean the chain.
• Check it.
• Replace damaged or worn parts with matching spare parts that are in the shape and size of the original parts as necessary.
• Sharpening a chain should be performed only by experienced users!
• Notice. Below the angle and dimensions If the chain is not properly sharpened or the depth is too small, there is a higher risk of reversion effects and resulting injuries! The chain cannot be fixed on the guide rail. It is therefore best to remove the chain from the rail and then sharpen it.
• Select the appropriate tools for the chain pitch sharpening tool. See “Specifications” for the allowed chain pitches.
• The chain pitch (for example 3/8 “) is highlighted in the depth of each blade.
• Use only special files for chain saws! Other files have the wrong shape and the wrong cut.
• Select the file according to the diameter of your chain pitch. Make sure to observe the following angle when sharpening the chain diameter.
  • A = filing angle
  • B = the angle of the side plate
• The angle must also be maintained for all knives.
• For irregular angles, the chain is run irregularly, wears quickly, and breaks down prematurely.

Since these requirements can only be met with sufficient and regular exercise:

• A File Holder must be used when sharpening the saw chain by hand. The correct filing angle is marked on it.
• Hold the file horizontally (at a right angle to the guide rail) and file according to the angle mark on the file holder. Support the file holder on the top plate and depth gauge.
• File down. The knife is always from the inside to the outside
• The file sharpens only in forward motion. Lift it off in a backward motion.
• Do not touch the dynamic links with the file.
• Turn the file regularly and continue to avoid one-sided wear.
• Remove to remove a piece of hardwood, bones raw edges.
• All knives must have the same length, otherwise they will also vary. As a result, the chain is irregular and it increases the risk of going broke.

Oiling the gears (pole saw)
Oil the gears every 10 to 20 operating hours.

1. Position the grease gun at the lubricating nipples Fig. 47 (Q).
2. Insert some grease.

Attention! Fill only a small amount of grease. Do not overfill.
Check the hedge trimmer for obvious faults such as:

• loose attachments
• worn or damaged components
• bent, broken, or damaged cutting tools
• correctly attached and working covers and safety devices
• wear, in particular, cutting tool play

Immediately replace damaged or blunt-cutting tools, even in the event of minor damage.

Oiling the gears, hedge trimmer
Oil the gears every 10 to 20 operating hours.

1. Position the grease gun at the lubricating nipples Fig. 41 (P).
2. Insert some grease.
   • Attention! Fill only a small amount of grease. Do not overfill.
   • Oil the cutting tools and the angle adjustment with environmentally friendly lubricant.

Adjusting the idle speed Fig. 50
If the cutting device runs idle, correct the idle speed.

1. Allow the engine to warm for 3-5 minutes (No high speeds!).
2. Turn the adjusting screw (S): clockwise
   • idle speed increases (+) counterclockwise
   • Idling speed decreases (-)
   • The idle speed is 3000 min-1
   • Contact the manufacturer if the cutter continues to run at idle.
   • Do not continue to operate the unit!
   • The user is responsible for all damages caused by non-compliance with instructions in this manual.
   • This also applies to non-authorized modifications of the tool, use of non-authorized spare parts, accessories, working tools, unrelated and not intended use, and secondary damages due to the use of faulty components.

Wear Parts

• Even when used in the intended way, some components are subject to normal wear. They have to be replaced depending on the kind of duration of usage.
• These parts include, among others, the cutting tool and the retaining disk.
• Warning! Use only the original manufacturer‘s replacement parts, accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause poor performance, and possible injury and may void your warranty
