Important! Always pull out the spark boot plug before performing any checks or adjustments.

Undo the fastening screw (Item I) of the chain wheel cover by a few turns.

Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Item K). Turning the screw clockwise

increases the chain tension, turning it counterclockwise decreases the chain tension. The chain is correctly

tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar.

Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover.

Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar.

I J

2 mm

Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw until after you have adjusted the chain tension.

Notes on tensioning the chain:

The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised by

around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you know that the chain tension is ideal. During cutting, the

temperature of the chain rises and its length changes. It is important therefore to check the chain tension at

least every 10 minutes and to adjust it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When

you have fi nished working, slacken the chain again as it will shorten when it cools down. This will help to

prevent damage tothe chain.

When you work with the petrol brush cutter for the firsttime, familiarize yourself with the operation

and controlof the petrol cutting blade without running engine.

OFF

Mowing with grass trimmer

Mowing with brush cutter and hedge trimmer

The design of the petrol brush cutter allows for operation only at the right side of the user's body.

Keep the petrol brush cutter firmly with both hands on the handles.

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 soas not to overload the unit.

Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection and a safety helmet.

Use the plastic line cassette for a clean cut also atuneven 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.

Swing the petrol cutting blade like a normal scythe horizontally from right to left and back again.

You define the cutting height depending on how high you are holding the tool.

Never replace the nylon line with a metal wire.

RISK OF INJURIES

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 backwards 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 is the risk that objects to be cut and particles will be

hurled sideways.

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 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 apparently blunt, it must be sharpened according to instructions.

When the cutting blade is apparently out of balance, it must be replaced.

Automatic thread trimming

The petrol cutting blade is delivered with a filled line cassette.This line will wear out during work. To

feed 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 pole saw

Precautions for Saw procedure

Never stand under the branch you want to saw. 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 for guiding the device 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, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay attention to your point, wind direction and

the possible direction of fall of the branches. Be prepared 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

down unexpectedly during cutting.

You could also attend by fractured and dead branches out, 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 are kept as low as possible, we recommend the interface additionally

to seal with grafting wax.

Hazards by reactive forces

Reactive forces occur during 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 are not as noticeable as with traditional chainsaws.

Always still keep a firm grip and a good level to maintain control of the tool in doubt.
