■
Is the throttle lever easy to move and does it
snap quickly back to the starting position
after being released? If not, clean it. Have it
repaired if it is defective.
■
Can the On/Off switch be easily moved from
the "I" to the "0" position and does it snap
back again automatically? If not, have it re-
paired.
■
Is the spark plug connector firmly connected
to the spark plug? Push it tight if it is loose.
■
Is the air filter clean? Clean it if it is dirty.
■
Is the petrol tank full? Mix the petrol/oil to
produce the mixture and pour it in.
■
Are all accessory parts for the respective op-
erating mode fitted and undamaged? Fit the
remaining accessory parts. Replace any de-
fective accessory parts.

For vacuum operation:
■
Is the collecting sack firmly connected to
the exhaust air manifold? If not, slide the
blow-in opening of the collecting sack fur-
ther onto the exhaust air manifold and
tighten the hook and loop fastener.
■
Is the collecting sack closed? Close the
zip fastener of the collecting sack.
5.2 Making and pouring in the petrol/oil
mixture
IMPORTANT!
Danger of motor damage
Pure petrol leads to damage and com-
plete failure of the motor. Guarantee
claims against the manufacturer are ex-
cluded in this case.
■
Only operate the motor using the
specified petrol/oil mixture ratio.
Mixing the petrol/oil to produce the mixture
(13)
The 2-stroke motor requires:
■
Lead-free, fresh petrol with an octane rating
of at least 90. Petrol stored for longer than 2
months would lead to deposits and malfunc-
tions of the motor.
■
High-quality synthetic oil for 2-stroke motors
Mix these two components to produce a petrol/oil
mixture of 40:1.
1. Hold the fuel mixture bottle (13/1) horizontally
and pour in the required amount of petrol:
■
Read the filled amount on the right petrol
scale (13/2) "100 – 500" [in ml].
38
■
Pour in the petrol up to the 300, 400 or
500 ml mark (e.g. 400 ml, see graphic).
2. Hold the fuel mixture bottle (13/1) horizontally
and pour in the required amount of 2-stroke
oil up to the next mark on the left oil scale
40:1 (13/3).
3. Close the fuel mixture bottle (13/1) and shake
vigorously several times to thoroughly mix
the petrol and oil.
Pouring in the petrol/oil mixture (14)
1. Switch off the motor of the appliance.
2. Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface.
The cap of the fuel tank must point upwards.
3. Wipe clean the cap of the fuel tank, the fuel
tank and the surrounding appliance parts so
that no dirt can get into the fuel tank when
the petrol/oil mixture is poured in.
4. Open the cap (14/1) of the fuel tank slowly so
the pressurised petrol/air mixture in the fuel
tank (14/2) can slowly escape into the atmo-
sphere. Let the cap (14/1) hang on the fuel
tank.
5. Insert a funnel (14/3) in the filler neck (14/4)
of the fuel tank.
6. Fill the prepared petrol/oil mixture from the
fuel mixture bottle (14/5) up to the upper end
of the fill level indicator (14/6) or up to the
lower edge of the filler neck (14/4) in the fuel
tank, but not beyond it.
7. Remove the funnel (14/3) from the opening of
the fuel tank (14/2) and tighten the cap
(14/1).
8. Wipe any spilled petrol/oil mixture off the ap-
pliance and the surface.

6 OPERATING THE MOTOR

DANGER!
Danger of poisoning from motor ex-
haust gases
Serious poisoning can be caused by in-
haling the motor exhaust gases. Such
poisoning can be fatal.
■
Only operate the appliance out of
doors and never in enclosed spaces.
■
Do not inhale the motor exhaust
gases.
