immediately to " " and allow the machine to
warm up for approx. 10 seconds.
Then release the throttle lever by simply
actuating it (the engine then returns to running in
idle mode).
8. If the engine does not start up, repeat steps 6-7
above.
Please note: If the engine does not start up even
after several attempts, read the section "Engine
Troubleshooting".
Please note: Always pull the starter cable out in a
straight line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction
will occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the
cable will become frayed and will wear away faster.
6.2 Starting the engine when warm (if the
machine has not been switched off for more than
15 – 20 minutes)
1. Set the machine down on a hard, level surface.
2. Switch the ON/OFF switch to "I".
3. Secure the throttle lever (in the same way as
described in "Starting the engine when cold").
4. Hold the machine by the front handle in your
right hand and pull the starter cable up to the first
resistance point (approx. 10 cm). Then tug
sharply on the starter cable. The machine should
start after 1-2 tugs. If the machine does not start
after 6 pulls, repeat steps 1 – 7 of the procedure
for starting the engine from cold.

6.3 Switching off the engine

Emergency Stop procedure:
If it becomes necessary to stop the machine
immediately, set the ON/OFF switch to "Stop" or "0"
Normal procedure:
Let go of the throttle lever and wait until the engine
has changed to idling speed. Then set the ON/OFF
switch to "Stop" or "0".

6.4 Practical tips

Never allow the machine to run at low speed for
starting or for cutting.
Cutting for dense growth: The most effective
method is to use wide, sweeping movements,
guiding the cutting edge of the blade straight through
the branches. A slight incline of the blade downwards
towards the movement will produce best cutting
results.
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the
like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a
level height. The branches above it will be cut off.
(Fig. 6)
Cutting the side of a hedge: Cut the sides of the
hedge with curve-shaped movements from the
bottom up. (Fig. 7)
Please note: As a result of its design, if you work
with the machine on its side for a lengthy period and
the tank not completely filled, the motor may stall.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage and
ordering of spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Maintenance
Always switch off the head trimmer and remove the
spark plug boot before carrying out any maintenance
work.
1. The cutter blades are high quality, made of
tempered steel and in normal use there is no
need to sharpen the blades. If you accidentally
strike a wire, stone, glass or other hard object,
this may cause a notch in the blade. There is no
need to remove the notch as long as it does not
adversely affect the movement of the cutting
edges. If it does adversely affect this movement,
switch off the machine and use a fine file or a
fine grinding stone to remove the notch. Ensure
that the bladeʼs cutting edge is always well oiled
(see Fig. 8).
2. If you drop the hedge trimmer, check whether it
has suffered any damage. If it is damaged
contact an authorized customer service outlet or
send the machine to ISC GmbH to have it
repaired.
3. Only clean the machine after it has been
switched off. Use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean it. Never allow fluid to get into the
