The Bowden cables of your strimmer are fac-
tory-adjusted. If the position of the "bike grip"
handle is significantly changed, this can cause the
Bowden cable to stretch, resulting in malfunction-
ing of the throttle.
If the cutting head does not come to a standstill
after the strimmer has been started and the half
throttle lock has been released, the Bowden cable
must be adjusted by means of the adjusting screw
(1). Correct functioning of the throttle is then as-
sured once again.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from rotatingcutting
head!
Only adjust Bowden cables with the
engine switched off.
Only check the function with the
strimmer lying down.
Sharpening the string cutter blade
1. Remove the cutting blade from the guard.
2. Clamp the cutting blade in a vice and sharpen
it with a flat file.
File in one direction only!
