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. 

Unbalanced blades will cause the brush cutter to vibrate 
violently-risk of accident!

Change and clean the spark plug Fig. 32 - 33

1. Once the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug 

using the socket spanner supplied.

2. Clean the plug with a wire brush.
3. Using a feeler gauge; set the gap to 0.5-0.7 mm.
4. Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-

threading.

5. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with spanner to 

compress the washer.

Clean the air filter Fig. 28 - 31

Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supplying 

too little air to the carburetor. 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.

m

Warning!

Never  run  the  engine  without  the  air  filter  element 

installed.

Lubricate angle transmission

Lubricate with lithium-based grease. Remove the screw  
and put in the grease, turning the shaft manually until 
grease emerges, then replace the screw.

Storing the unit

After cutting, clean the unit thoroughly. Store the unit in a 
dry room allow the motor to cool down beforehand.

Important hint in case of sending the equipment to a 
service station:

Due to security reasons please see to it that the 
equipment is sent back free of oil and gas!

11. Storage

Cleaning

•  Keep handles free of oil, so you always have a secure 

hold.

•  Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth 

and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.

m 

Important!

•  Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before 

carrying out any cleaning.

•  Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids 

in order to clean it.

•  Store the chainsaw in a safe and dry place out of the 

reach of children.

Storage

Important: Never put the equipment into storage for 

longer than 30 days without carrying out the following 

steps.

Storing the equipment

If you intend to store the equipment for longer than 30 

days, the equipment must be prepared accordingly. 

Otherwise the fuel still remaining in the carburetor will 

evaporate and leave a rubbery sediment. This can cau-

se problems when starting up the equipment and may 

require expensive repairs.

1 

Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release any pres-
sure that may have formed in the tank. Carefully empty 
the tank.

2 

To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start the engine 
and let it run until the equipment stops.

3 

Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).

4 

Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and 
clean the spark plug).

5 

Add one teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into the com-
bustion chamber. Slowly pull the starter cord several 
times to apply a layer of oil to all internal components. 
Fit the spark plug again.

Note:

 Store the equipment in a dry place and far away 

from possible ignition sources such as an oven, a gas-fi 

red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red dryer, etc.

Putting the equipment back into operation

1 

Remove the spark plug (see section 10 Change and 
clean the spark plug).

2 

Quickly tug on the starter cord to remove excess oil 
from the combustion chamber.

3 

Clean the spark plug and check that the electrode gap 
is correct, or insert a new spark plug with the correct 
electrode gap.

4 

Prepare the equipment for operation.

5 

Fill the tank with the relevant mixture of fuel and oil. 
See the section „Fuel and oil“.

Transport

To transport the machine, empty the petrol tank as 

described in section 8 draining fuel. Clean coarse dirt off 

the equipment with a brush or hand brush.

12. Disposal and recycling
