    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    !
    WARNING!
    Never use a machine with defective safety
    equipment. Follow the control,
    maintenance and service instructions
    described in this section.
    1. Throttle trigger
    lock
    The throttle trigger lock is
    designed to prevent the
    throttle from accidentally
    being engaged. When the
    trigger lock (A) is pressed
    into the handle (= when you
    hold the handle) the throttle
    (B) is released. When the
    grip on the handle is
    released the throttle and the
    throttle trigger lock return
    to their original positions.
    This takes place via two
    independent return spring
    systems. This means that the
    throttle is automatically
    locked in its “idling“
    position.
    2. Stop switch
    The stop switch should be
    used to stop the engine.
    3. Cutting
    attachment guard
    This guard is intended to
    prevent objects from being
    thrown towards the
    operator and to protect the
    operator from
    unintentionel contact with
    the cutting attachment.
    WARNING!
    Under no circumstances may the cutting
    equipment be used without an approved
    guard fitted. See the chapter 
    “Technical
    data”
    . If the wrong guard or a defective
    guard is fitted this can cause serious
    personal injury.
    !
    MPORTANT INFORMATION
    •A clearing saw, brushcutter or trimmer used
    incorrectly or carelessly can become a
    dangerous tool, that can cause serious or fatal
    injury to the operator or others. It is extremely
    important that you read and understand the
    content of this manual.
    •When using a trimmer, personal protective
    equipment approved by the appropriate
    authorities must be used. Personal protective
    equipment does not eliminate the risk of
    accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of
    an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your
    dealer for help when choosing protective
    equipment.
    GLOVES
    Gloves should be worn
    when necessary, e.g., when
    assembling cutting
    equipment.
    EAR PROTECTION
    Ear protection offering
    sufficient dampening effect
    should be used.
    EYE PROTECTION
    Blows from branches or
    objects thrown by the
    rotating cutting equipment
    can damage the eyes.
    BOOTS
    Use anti-slip and stable
    boots.
    CLOTHING
    Wear clothes made of a
    strong fabric and avoid
    loose clothing that can
    catch on shrubs and
    branches. Always wear
    heavy, long pants. Do not
    wear jewelry, short pants,
    sandals or go barefoot.
    Secure hair so it is above
    shoulder level.

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    4. Vibration
    damping system
    Your machine is equipped
    with a vibration damping
    system, which is designed
    to give as vibration-free
    and comfortable use as
    possible.
    Use of incorrectly wound
    cord or incorrect cutting
    equipment increases the
    level of vibration.
    The machine’s vibration
    damping system reduces
    the transfer of vibrations
    between the engine unit/
    cutting equipment and the
    machine’s handle unit.
    5. Muffler
    The muffler is designed to
    give the lowest possible noise
    level and to direct the engine‘s
    exhaust fumes away from the
    operator. Muffler fitted with
    catalytic converter is also
    designed to reduce harmful
    exhaust components.
    In countries that have a warm
    and dry climate the risk of fire
    is obvious. We have therefore
    fitted certain mufflers with a
    spark arrest screen. Make sure
    that your muffler is fitted
    with this kind of screen.
    It is extremely important that
    the instructions for checking,
    maintaining and servicing the
    muffler are followed. (see the
    section “Control, maintenance
    and service of the machine‘s
    safety equipment“).
    !
    WARNING!
    Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters
    become extremely hot during use and
    after stopping. This also applies at idling
    speeds. Contact can result in burns to
    the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!
    !
    WARNING!
    Bear in mind that exhaust fumes:
    •contain carbon monoxide, which can
    cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
    Therefore never start or run the machine
    indoors.
    •are hot and can contain sparks that can
    cause fires. Never start the machine
    indoors or close to inflammable material.
    6. Cutting
    equipment
    The trimmer head is
    intended for trimming
    grass.
    7. Locking nut
    A locking nut is used to
    secure some types of cutting
    equipment on the output
    shaft.
    !
    WARNING!
    Over exposure to vibrations can result in
    blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons
    suffering with blood circulation problems.
    Seek medical attention if you experience
    physical symptoms that can be related to
    over exposure to vibrations. Examples of
    such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of
    feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“ lack of
    or a reduction in normal strength, changes
    in the colour of the skin or its surfaces.
    These symptoms normally appear in the
    fingers, hands or wrists. 
    						
    							6 – English
    3. Cutting
    attachment guard
    •Ensure that the spray
    guard is undamaged and
    is not cracked.
    •Replace the guard if it
    has been exposed to
    impact or is cracked.
    •Always use the prescribed
    blade an guard
    combination, see chapter
    Technical data.
    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    Control, maintenance and service of
    the machine‘s safety equipment
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    •All service and repairs to the machine require

    #
    5. Muffler
    1. Never use a machine that
    has a defective muffler.
    2. Check regularly that the
    muffler is secure.
    3. If your muffler is fitted
    with a spark arrest screen
    then it should be cleaned
    regularly. A blocked
    screen leads to the engine
    overheating with serious
    damage as a result. Never
    use a muffler with a
    defective spark arrest
    screen.

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    6. Cutting equipment
    The section describes how through correct maintenance and
    through using the right type of cutting equipment you can:
    •Obtain maximum clearing capacity.
    •Increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
    Two basic rules:
    1)Only use the cutting
    and guard equipment
    we recommend! See
    chapter “Technical
    data“.
    2)Check the cutting
    equipment with regard
    to damage and crack
    formation. Damaged
    cutting equipment
    should always be
    replaced.
    Cutting equipment
    7. Locking nut
    •Protect your hand from
    injury when assembling,
    use the blade guard as
    protection when tightening
    with a socket spanner.
    Tighten the nut by turning
    against the direction of
    rotation. Loosen the nut by
    turning in the direction of
    rotation. (NOTE! the nut
    has a left-hand thread).
    •Tighten the nut using a
    socket spanner, 35 - 50
    Nm (3.5 - 5 kpm).
    Trimmer head
    •Only use a trimmer head
    and trimmer cord that is
    recommended. 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
    cutting equipment we
    recommend! See chapter
    “Technical data“.
    NOTE!
    The locking nut‘s nylon lock must not be so worn that it can
    be turned by hand. The lock shall hold at least 1.5 Nm. The
    nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10
    times.•Generally smaller machines require a small trimmer head
    and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cord
    the engine must throw out the cord radially from the
    trimmer head and also meet resistance from 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 the knife positioned 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 few days. This will make the line tougher and it will keep
    longer.
    WARNING!
    Never use a machine with defective
    safety equipment. The safety equipment
    should be maintained as described in this
    section. If your machine does not meet
    any of these controls you should contact
    your service workshop.
    !
    !WARNING!
    Always stop the engine before starting
    work on any part of the cutting equipment.
    This continues to rotate even after the
    throttle has been released. Ensure that the
    cutting equipment has stopped completely
    and remove the cable from the spark plug
    before you start to work on it. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    The section describes how through correct
    maintenance and through using the right type of
    cutting equipment you can obtain maximum
    clearing capacity and increase the service life of
    the cutting equipment.
    •Only use the cutting and guard equipment we
    recommend! See chapter “Technical data“.
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly
    and evenly around the drum, otherwise harmful
    vibrations will occur.

    General working instructions
    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    Basic working techniques
    •Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.
    Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the
    engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels
    from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to
    serious engine damage.
    Basic safety precautions
    1. Observe your surroundings:
    •To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect
    your control of the machine.
    •To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into
    contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be
    thrown by the cutting equipment.
    •NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of
    calling for help in the event of an accident.
    WARNING!
    Sometimes branches, grass or wood can
    get caught between the guard and cutting
    equipment. Always stop the engine when
    cleaning.
    2. Avoid usage in
    unfavourable weather
    conditions. For example,
    thick fog, heavy rain,
    strong winds or extreme
    cold, etc. To work in bad
    weather conditions is
    tiring and can create
    dangerous circumstances,
    e.g. slippery surfaces.
    3. Make sure you can walk
    and stand safely. Look out
    for any obstacles with
    unexpected movement
    (roots, stones, branches,
    pits, ditches, etc.). Take
    great care when working
    on sloping ground.
    4. The engine should be switched off before moving. When
    moving over longer distances and transporting the transport
    guard should be used.
    5. Never put the machine down with the engine running unless
    you have good sight of it.
    6.. Do not over-reach
    7. Keep Cutting attachment below waist level.
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    •This section takes up the basic safety
    precautions for working with the trimmer.
    •If you encounter a situation where you are
    uncertain how to proceed you should ask an
    expert. Contact your dealer or your service
    workshop.
    •Avoid all usage which you consider to be
    beyond your capability.
    Grass trimming
    using the trimmer
    head and plastic
    knifes
    •Hold the trimmer head
    just above the ground at
    an angle. It is the end of
    the cord that carries out
    the work. Let the cord
    work at its own pace. Do
    not press the cord into the
    area to be cut.
    •The cord can easily
    remove grass and weeds up
    against walls, fences, trees
    and borders, however, it
    can also damage sensitive
    bark on trees and bushes
    and damage fence posts.
    •Reduce the risk of
    damaging plants by
    shortening the cord to 10-
    12 cm and reducing the
    engine speed. 
    						
    							10 – English
    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    Clearing
    •The clearing technique
    removes all unwanted
    vegetation. Keep the
    trimmer head just above
    the ground and tilt it.
    Let the end of the cord
    strike the ground around
    trees, posts, statues and
    the like. NOTE! This
    technique increases the
    wear on the cord.
    •The cord wears quicker
    and must be fed forward
    more often when
    working against stones,
    brick, concrete, metal
    fences, etc. than when
    coming into contact
    with trees and wooden
    fences.
    •When trimming and
    clearing you should use
    less than full throttle so
    that the cord lasts longer
    and to reduce the wear
    on the trimmer head.Trimming
    •The trimmer is ideal to
    cut grass that is difficult
    to reach using a normal
    lawn mower. Keep the
    cord parallel to the
    ground when cutting.
    Avoid pressing the
    trimmer head against the
    ground as this can ruin
    the lawn and damage the
    tool.
    •Do not allow the
    trimmer head to
    constantly come into
    contact with the ground
    during normal cutting
    procedures. Constant
    contact can cause damage
    and wear to the trimmer
    head.
    Sweeping
    •The rotating cord‘s
    fanning effect can be
    used for quick and easy
    cleaning. Hold the cord
    parallel to and above the
    area to be swept and
    move the trimmer from
    side to side.
    •When cutting and
    sweeping you should use
    full throttle to obtain the
    best results.
