cutting attachment.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has
been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting attachment you are using. See
chapter onTechnical data.
WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard. See the chapter onTechnical data. If an
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that
is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier.
Using incorrectly wound cord or a blunt or incorrect cutting
attachment (wrong type or incorrectly filed, see instructions
under the heading Filing the blade) increases the level of
vibration.
The machine ′ s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of
vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the
machine ′ s handle unit.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation.
Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and
securely attached.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have
impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such
symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or
condition.These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.The risk increases at low temperatures.
Quick release (if equipped)
There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches fire, or in
any other emergency that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness.See instructions under the
heading adjusting the harness and brush cutter.
Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the
harness quick release works correctly.

Cutting equipment (Brush cutter & Grass trimmer)
This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
• Obtain maximum cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord
diameter.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on the blade
packaging.
WARNING!Alwaysstoptheenginebeforedoinganyworkonthecuttingattachment.Thiscontinuestorotateevenafterthe

WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting attachment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of blade
thrust.
Cutting equipment
Grass blades and grass cutters are intended for cutting coarse grass.
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.

English –12
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow our instructions anduse the recommended file gauge.An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the risk of accidents.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades
• See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and cutters using a
single-cut flat file.
• Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade.
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never
attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate
harmful vibration.
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords.These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a
particular engine size.This is especially important when a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use the
recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa.This is because when clearing using a cord
the engine must throw out the cord radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being
cleared.
The length of the cord is also important.A longer cord requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the same
diameter.
Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact.This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for a couple of days.This will make the line tougher so that it
lasts longer.

English –13
Cutting equipment (Pole pruner - D226ML-1)
This section describes how you can achieve maximum clearing capacity and extend the life of the cutting attachment
through correct maintenance and using the right type of cutting attachment.
Only use recommended cutting attachments, using non-approved cutting attachments
can cause serious or fatal injury to the operator and damage to the machine.
Maintain the correct raker clearance! Follow our instructions and use the recommended
raker gauge. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack it is more likely to jump off and
lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain
is more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Specification of bar and sw chain
Bar length (inches/cm)
Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T). Small number = small tip radius = low risk of
kickback.
GUAGE: Bar groove width or Drive link width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar must
match the width of the chain drive links.
Chain pitch (inches). The spacing between the drive links of the chain must match the
spacing of the teeth on the bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket.

General information on sharpening cutting teeth
WARNING! Always stop the engine before doing any work on the cutting attachment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting attachment has stopped completely and disconnect the
HT lead from the spark plug before you start to work on it.

English –14
Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you have to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood
and the cuttings will be very small. If the chain is very blunt it will not produce any cuttings at all. Wood powder would
be the only result. The cutting part of the chain is called the cutting link and this consists of a cutting tooth (A)
and the raker lip (B). The cutting depth is determined by the difference in height between
the two.
Maintenance the saw chain as below sheet:
Make sure every cutter has the same length and edge angles as illustrated.
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4
mm (0.16") the chain is worn out and should be replaced.
Maintenance guide bar • Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial wear.
• The bar rail should always be a square. Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to
the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal.
Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. Remove these with a file if necessary.
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If a hollow forms on the underside of
the bar tip this is due to running with a slack chain.
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over daily.

Cutting equipment (Long reach hedge trimmer - D226ML-2)
To ensure good cutting results it is important that the contact pressure between the blades is correct. The contact
pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go. Then turn the
screws anticlockwise a 1/4 turn. Lock the screws using the locking nut on the top of the bar. Check that the screws are
loose enough to allow the washers under the screw heads to slide sideways.
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between the blades should be 0,2–0,4 mm, measured at the screws.
The edges of the blades are too hard to be filed. Dull blades should be sharpened using a grinder.
Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.

Chain oil
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries. The special oil for lubricating the chain is biodegradable. Use of a mineral oil
or engine oil causes serious damage to the environment. So only use
special oil for this machine.
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the machine and the
environment.
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its
flow characteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter
weather.
The oil pump is preset at the factory to meet most lubrication requirements.
A full oil tank will run out as long as exhaust of a full tank of fuel, so fill oil
tank completely every time you refuel fuel tank.
Tighten the oil tank cap (P) securely after every filling.
