Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data. IMPORTANT! Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Sharpening the saw blade Trimmer head IMPORTANT! • A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and clearing saw. • • Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration. See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions. • Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords.
ASSEMBLY Assembling the handlebar and throttle CAUTION! Some models have the throttle handle fitted at the factory. • Remove the screw at the rear of the throttle handle. • Slide the throttle handle onto the right side of the handlebar, (see diagram). Transport position, handlebar • The handlebar can easily be turned to fit along the shaft for easier transportation and storage. • Loosen the knob. Turn the handlebar clockwise so that the throttle handle rests against the engine.
ASSEMBLY Fitting the blade guard/combination guard, grass blade and ball-bearingmounted support cup • gear housing to lock the drive disk. Hold the shaft of the socket spanner as close to the blade guard/combination guard as possible. Hang the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) on the two hooks on the plate holder (M). Bend the guard around the shaft and tighten it with the bolt (L) on the opposite side of the shaft. Use the locking pin (C).
ASSEMBLY • Turn the blade shaft until one of the holes in the drive disc aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear housing. • Insert the locking pin (C) in the hole to lock the shaft. • Place the blade (D) and support flange (F) on the output shaft. G Fitting other guards and cutting attachments • F D B Fit the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) intended for use with the trimmer head/plastic blades. Hang the trimmer guard/combination guard (A) on the two hooks on the plate holder (M).
ASSEMBLY Adjusting the harness and clearing saw ! 3 Adjust the shoulder strap to distribute the load evenly across your shoulders. Press downwards on the suspension hook to load the harness. 4 Adjust the height of the hanging ring as per the instructions. (Forest clearing) 5 If you need to lower the suspension hook, for trimming for example, move the suspension strap (A) to the lower mounting point on the backplate.
ASSEMBLY Correct balance 1 Forestry clearing The machine is balanced by moving the suspension ring on the machine forwards or backwards. On some models the suspension ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number of holes for the support hook. The machine is correctly balanced when it freely hangs horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk of hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the handlebar. 2 Grass clearing Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e.
FUEL HANDLING Fuel safety Gasoline Never start the machine: 1 If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate. 2 If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water. 3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
FUEL HANDLING Fueling Mixing • Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. • Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline. • ! Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank. WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire: Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
STARTING AND STOPPING Check before starting • Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
STARTING AND STOPPING Warm engine Stopping Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position. Stop the engine by switching off the ignition. Start throttle: (FC2255, FC2255W, BC2255) BC2255 Set the throttle to the start position by moving the choke control to the choke position and then returning it to its original position.
WORKING TECHNIQUES General working instructions 6 Keep a good balance and a firm foothold. 7 Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the machine on the right side of your body. IMPORTANT! This section describes the basic safety precautions for working with clearing saws and trimmers. 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.
WORKING TECHNIQUES ! WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the engine before cleaning. • You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over ditches or other obstacles on the ground. You should also orient the strip to take advantage of wind conditions, so that cleared stems fall in the cleared area of the stand.
WORKING TECHNIQUES • To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be pulled backwards. Pull the blade backwards with a quick, firm movement. • Large stems must be cut from two sides. First determine which direction the stem will fall. Make the first cut on the felling side. Then finish cutting the stem from the other side. Adjust the cutting pressure to match the size of the stem and the hardness of the wood. Small stems require more pressure, while large stems require less pressure.
WORKING TECHNIQUES Grass trimming with a trimmer head Sweeping • The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro. • When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results. Trimming • Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord work at its own pace.
MAINTENANCE Carburetor Basic setting Your Jonsered product has been designed and manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful exhaust fumes. The engine will be run in after it has used 8-10 tanks of fuel. To ensure that the engine runs at peak performance and produces as little harmful exhaust fumes as possible after the running-in period, ask your dealer/service workshop (which has a rev counter for this purpose) to adjust your carburettor.
MAINTENANCE Fine adjustment of the idle speed T Correctly adjusted carburetor Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine will run smoothly in every position.
MAINTENANCE If the screen is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked screen will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston. Air filter The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid: CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.
MAINTENANCE Temperature 0°°C (32°°F) or colder: Spark plug Fit the covers for the starter housing and air filter holder using the three screws provided as shown in the figure. The spark plug condition is influenced by: • Incorrect carburetor adjustment. • An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). • A dirty air filter. These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule The following is a list of the maintenance that must be performed on the machine. Most of the items are described in the Maintenance section. The user must only carry out the maintenance and service work described in this manual. More extensive work must be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
