GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Important Personal protective equipment IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for cutting branches and twigs. Incorrect or careless use of a hedge trimmer can turn it into a dangerous tool that can cause serious or even fatal injury. It is extremely important that you read and understand the contents of this operator’s manual. Never use a machine that has been modified in any way from its original specification.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FIRST AID KIT Always have a first aid kit nearby. Machine′s safety equipment This section describes the machine′s safety equipment, its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of mesh. Blades To ensure good cutting results it is important that the contact pressure between the blades is correct. The contact pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside of the bar clockwise as far as they will go.
ASSEMBLY Fitting the main body 5 Connect the engine (A) to the tube (B) with four screws (C). Adjust the cable adjuster sleeve so the stop on the carburettor throttle cam just contacts the throttle stop and the cable position keep 1-2 mm play between the cable lug and the slotted fitting when the throttle trigger is fully depressed. 1-2mm A C B 6 When the throttle cable is adjusted correctly, tighten the locking nut (G).
ASSEMBLY Adjusting the harness You should always use the harness with the machine to give maximum control over the machine and reduce the risk of fatigue in your arms and back. 1 Put on the harness. 2 Hook the machine onto the harness support hook. 3 Adjust the length of the harness so that the support hook is roughly level with your right hip.
FUEL HANDLING Fuel safety Petrol Never start the machine: 1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate. 2 If you have spilt 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. NB! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least 90 octane (RON).
FUEL HANDLING Mixing • Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel. • Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol. • Fuelling ! 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 • Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out. • Check the cutting attachment. Never use blades that are dull, cracked or damaged. • Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight. • Make sure the gear housing is lubricated correctly. See instructions under the heading Gear housing. • Check that the cutting attachment always stops when the engine is idling.
WORKING TECHNIQUES General working instructions Safety instructions while working IMPORTANT! This section takes up the basic safety precautions for working with a hedge trimmer. • Always ensure you have a safe and stable working position. If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop. • Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the machine at the side of your body.
WORKING TECHNIQUES • Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts. • Store the machine out of reach of children. • Use only original spare parts for repairs. • Adjust the angle with the help of the handle on the cutting unit. • Tighten the knob. Basic working techniques • Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides. • Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
WORKING TECHNIQUES 3 Grip the handle on the cutting unit and angle the cutting unit upwards. At an angle of 48 degrees there is a stop position. To pass the stop position, pull out the lock button. 4 Fold down the cutting unit against the shaft. 5 Tighten the knob. CAUTION! When the stop position has been passed the blades are blocked, do not try to cut with the cutting unit in this position.
MAINTENANCE Carburettor 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 Cooling system Air filter To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system. The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid: 2 1 • Carburettor malfunctions • Starting problems • Loss of engine power • Unnecessary wear to engine parts. • Excessive fuel consumption. Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.
MAINTENANCE Gear There are three grease nipples on the gearbox. Use a grease gun to top up with grease. This should be carried out after approximately every 20 working hours. Use Jonsered special grease. Cleaning and lubrication Clean any resin and plant residue from the blades using cleaning agent before and after using the machine. Lubricate the blade bars with special grease before long periods of storage.
