OPERATION
When working with the equipment as grass trimmer and
brush cutter, the appropriate plastic guard hood for cut-
ting blade mode or cutting line mode must be fi tted
to prevent objects being thrown out by the equipment.
The integrated blade (A) in the cutting line guard hood
automatically cuts the line to the optimum length. Fig. 17
5. Fit the belt. Fig. 13-16
• The Combined grass trimmer, pole saw, brush cut-
ter must be used with the strap.
• Balance the machine when the tool is switched off.
• Wear the shoulder strap.
• Adjust the strap length so that the snap hook (k) is
about a hand's breadth below the right hip. Hang
the multi-function tool on the karabiner
• Hang the brush cutter on a hook.
• Hang the machine.
• When standing in a normal working posture, the
blade should touch the ground during normal work-
ing position.
• Thereby, it is important that the
is always well balanced.
• For operation, hook the brush cutter into the snap
hook (k) of the carrying strap while the engine is
running.
• ATTENTION! In an emergency, the safety latch (l)
can be pulled from the harness. The machine then
detaches immediately from the carrying strap (9)
and falls to the ground.
6. Mounting the hedge trimmer Fig. 27-29
• Remove the screw (d), align the holes (c) so that they
are flush and screw the screw (d) back in.
• Place the hedge trimmer (15) precisely as shown in
Figure 27 on the connecting rod (3).
• Tighten with screw (a).
• Adjust the slope by unlocking the lock (Fig. 29)
• The hedge trimmer can be tilted from 0 ° to 90 °
(Fig.29).
7. Fitting the cutter bar and the chaine (Fig. 30-32)
• Remove the chain wheel cover (Fig. 32/ Item J) by
undoing the fastening nut (Item I). Lay the chain
(Item F) as shown into the groove which runs
around the cutter bar (Item E).
• Note the alignment of the chain teeth (Fig. 31).
Insert the cutter bar as shown in Fig. 31 into the
mount at the gear unit.
• Place the chain round the chain wheel (Item H).
Make sure that the teeth of the chain engage se-
curely in the chain wheel.

petrol brush cutter
The cutter bar must be hooked into the chain ten-
sioning bolt (Item G).
• Fit the chain wheel cover
Important! Do not fully tighten the fastening screw
until after you have adjusted the chain tension
(see section 7.1).
7.1 Tensioning the chain (Fig. 33-35)
• Undo the fastening screw (Item I) of the chain wheel
cover by a few turns (Fig. 32).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning
screw (Fig. 34/ Item K). Turning the screw clockwise
increases the chain tension, turning it counterclock-
wise decreases the chain tension. The chain is cor-
rectly tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm
in the middle of the cutter bar (Fig. 33).
• Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover (Fig.
35).
• Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the
guide groove of the cutter bar.
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 ad-
just 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 to the chain.

off, the cutting unit continues running for several sec-
onds therefore do not touch the cutting unit until it has
