Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 21)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours
of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper
wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after
every 50 hours of operation.
Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the
spark plug (10) with a spark plug wrench.
Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030").
Refit the spark plug taking care not to overtighten.
Engine brake lever (Fig. 1)
The engine is equipped with a mechanical brake (3)
which has to be checked regularly. When releasing
the brake lever, the blade must come to a halt within
7 seconds. If this is not the case, the machine must
not be used. Contact an authorised specialist retailer.
Ensure that the machine is in a flawless condition for
its entire service life. Improper maintenance may lead
to life-threatening injuries.

14. Disposal and recycling
Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against damage
during transport.
Packing materials are usually chosen depend-
ing on their environmental friendliness and dis-
posal method and can therefore be recycled.
Returning the package to material circulation
saves raw materials and reduces waste dispos-
al costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®)
can be dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep parts of packages away from children and dis-
pose them as soon as possible.
The unit and its accessories are made of various
types of material, such as metal and plastic. De-
fective components must be disposed of as special
waste. Ask your dealer or your local council.
