only be used to cut grass or smaller weeds. It
is explicitly forbidden to cut any other kind of
material. Do not use the trimmer as a lever to
lift, remove or crush objects; do also not fi x it to
rigid holding devices. It is forbidden to mount any
devices or supplements to the trimmer's drive unit
that are not explicitly released for that purpose by
the manufacturer.
MOUNTING THE ATTACHMENT (Fig. 4–6)
Attention: Switch off the device before mounting
the attachment. DANGER OF INJURY !
Note: To facilitate mounting and dismounting the attach-
ment put the tool on the ground or a workbench.
1. Loosen the knob (A) by turning it anticlockwise (Fig.
4).
2. Hold the attachment (B) and push it straightly into the
quick-change coupling (C) until the release button (D)
engages into the corresponding hole (E) of the coupling
(Fig. 4+5).
3. Turn the knob (A) clockwise to tighten it (Fig. 6).
Attention: Before operation, the release button
must have engaged into the hole of the coupling
and the knob must have been tightened fi rmly!
FUEL AND OIL
FUEL
For a maximum performance of your trimmer, use
regular petrol (two-star, unleaded) mixed with a special
40:1 2-stroke engine oil. Please adhere to the mixing
instructions.
ATTENTION : Do never use pure fuel without oil. This
will damage the engine and you will loose your warranty
rights. Do not use fuel mixtures that have been stored
for more than 90 days.
ATTENTION : Only use high-quality 2-stroke mixing
oil for air-cooled engines, mixture ratio 40:1.
FUEL MIXTURE
Mix the fuel with 2-stroke oil in an approved container.
Refer to the mixing table to fi nd the required mixture ratio
for the fuel and oil. Shake the container to properly mix
the two fl uids.

STARTING THE ENGINE
Cold start
In order not to overtax the engine when starting it, cut the
trimmer cord to 13cm (Fig. 7).
1. Put the ignition switch in position 'ON' (I) (Fig. 8).
2. The device has 3 choke positions: ZU (choke CLOSED),
HALB (choke HALF), AUF (choke OPEN). Slide the
choke to position ZU (CLOSED) (Fig. 9).
3. Push the fuel pump (A) 10 times (Fig. 10).
4. Firmly hold the device by the handle; push the unlocking
switch (B) and the throttle lever (C) as far as they will
go (Fig. 11).
5. Pull the starter rope a bit until you feel resistance (about
10cm) (Fig. 12); to start the engine the rope must be
pulled evenly and quickly (pull 4 times).
6. Slide the choke to position HALB (HALF) (Fig. 13).
7. Pull the starter rope again 4 times and fully push the
throttle lever (Fig. 12).
8. After the engine has been started, leave the choke in
position HALB (HALF) for about 10 seconds (Fig. 13).
9. Then slide the choke to position AUF (OPEN) (Fig. 14).
10. If the motor does not start repeat the steps 1-7.
NOTE:If the engine should not start after several
tries proceed as described in the chapter 'Trouble-
shooting'.
NOTE : Always pull out the starter rope straight. If you
do not pull straight the rope will chafe at the eyelet. This
chafe will cause the rope to fan out and thus to a higher
wear and tear. Always hold the starter rope handle when
the rope is pulled back. Do not let the rope fl ick back
when it is pulled out. This could lead to a hook-up of
the rope and/or a damage to the starter housing.
Warm start
1. Put the trimmer on a solid, level surface.
2. Slide the ignition switch to position 'ON' (I) (Fig. 8).
3. Firmly hold the device by the handle and push the
throttle lever.
4. Quickly pull the starter rope until the engine starts – but
do not pull more than 6 times.
5. If the engine should not start proceed as described in
the chapter "Cold start".
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Release the throttle lever. Let the engine idle. Push and hold
down the ignition switch (A) until the engine stops.
OPERATING ADVICE
- If you are not familiar with the trimmer train the handling
of the device with the engine not running (AUS / OFF).
- Always check the territory; solid objects as metal parts,
bottles, stones etc. may be hurled away and cause serious
injuries or permanently damage the device. Should you
touch a solid object with the trimmer shut the engine off
immediately (AUS / OFF) and examine the trimmer for
possibly existing damages. Do not use the device when
it is damaged or shows sign of defects.
- Always trim and cut with the engine running in the higher
speed range. Do not let the engine run at low speed at
the beginning of or during the trimming.
- Use the device for its provided purpose only, i.e., trimming
and cutting grass and weeds.
- Never hold the cutting head higher than your knees during
operation.
- If working on a slope always stand with the cutting unit
above you. Only work on sloping sites if you stand on fi rm
ground.
