PREPARATION USING THE RIGHT PETROL FUELLING The use of old petrol is the most common cause of performance problems. Use only fresh, clean unleaded petrol. WARNING! Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add petrol to a machine with a running or hot engine. CAUTION! Only use 91 RON Uunleaded petrol The lowest octane recommended is 91 RON Unleaded petrol. If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 91 RON Unleaded fuel so-called knocking can occur.
PREPARATION STARTING/STOPPING THE MACHINE CHECK BEFORE STARTING • Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out. • Check the cutting attachment. Remove the blade cover before use and 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.
PREPARATION TO START A COLD ENGINE Turn switch to “I” ON postion. Slowly press the primer bulb 5-10 times. NOTE: After the 7th press, fuel should be visible in the primer bulb. If it is not, continue to press the primer until you see fuel in the bulb. Push the choke button in to set the choke to FULL CHOKE position. NOTE: Do not squeeze the throttle trigger because the choke will pop out automatically. Fig. 4 Pull the starter grip /cord until resistance is detected.
OPERATION WARNING! The machine can cause serious personal injury. Read the safety instructions carefully. Learn how to use the machine. WARNING! Do not touch the tool without first switching off the engine. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE SURROUNDINGS • Never allow children to use the machine. • Ensure that no-one comes closer than 15m while you are working. • Never allow anyone else to use the machine without first ensuring that they have understood the contents of the operator’s manual.
OPERATION TIPS FOR TRIMMING • When the engine is switched off, keep your hands and feet away from the cutting attachment until it has stopped completely. • Watch out for stumps of branches that can be thrown out during cutting. • Do not cut too close to the ground. Stones and other objects can be thrown out. • Check the working area for foreign objects such as electricity cables, insects and animals, etc, or other objects that could damage the cutting attachment, such as metal items. • Fig.
OPERATION CUTTING • Adjust the handle so that it fits the intended cut and start the product as described. • Cut and remove branches exceeding the cutting capacity of this product using a proper pruner before operation. • Move the cutting device lightly through the cutting surface in a sweeping motion following the shape of the hedge or shrub. A slight tilt downwards of the cutting device in the direction of motion is recommended for optimum cutting performance.
OPERATION ROTARY HANDLE • The hedge trimmer’s rear handle can be set in three positions by press down the button on the handle (see Fig. 12, 13, 14). When the handle is adjusted the hedge trimmer should be idling or not running. • While working the handle should always be facing upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is directed Fig. 12 Fig. 13 Fig.
MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT WARNING. Old engine oil is considered special waste and has to be disposed according to your local environment protection regulation. Do not pour the oil to garbage can, sewer, soil etc. 1. The engine oil replacement is easier if engine is warm (NOT HOT!). 2. Open the oil tank cap and drain the old oil to an approved container. 3.
MAINTENANCE MUFFLER The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. (see Fig. 19) For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler. (see Fig. 20) WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material! Fig.
MAINTENANCE THROTTLE LOCKOUT Throttle Lockout The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lockout (2) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (see Fig. 21). Throttle Control When you release the handle, the throttle control and the throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs.
MAINTENANCE GEAR There is a grease nipple and a plug for filling lubricant on the gear housing. Use a grease gun to fill with grease. This should be done after every 25 working hours. (see Fig. 23) CAUTION! The gear housing must not be filled completely with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up during operation. If the gear housing was completely filled with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of grease.
Problem Possible Cause Solution No spark Check spark. Remove spark plug. Reattach the spark plug cap and lay spark plug on metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat test with a new spark plug. No fuel Push primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb does not fill, primary fuel delivery system is blocked. Contact a servicing dealer. If primer bulb fills, engine may be flooded, proceed to next item.
