It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools

y contribute to a condition called Raynaudʼs Syn-

drom

e in certain individuals. Symptoms may include

tingling

, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually

apparen

t upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors,

exposur

e to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work

practice

s are all thought to contribute to the develop-

men

t of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what,

if any, vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to

e condition. There are measures that can be taken by

e operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operat-

g the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists

warm

. It is reported that cold weather is a major

facto

r contributing to Raynaudʼs Syndrome.

b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase

bloo

d circulation.

c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of

exposur

e per day.

Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened

d worn parts replaced.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,

immediately discontinue use and see your physician

about these symptoms.

Mix and store fuel in

a container approved for fuel.

Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.

Wipe up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from

refuelin

g site before starting engine.

Stop the engine and allow to cool before refueling or

storin

g the unit.

Allow the engine to cool; empty the fuel tank and secure

e unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.

Do not touch area around the muffler or cylinder of the

trimmer, these parts get hot from operation.

Alway

s stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire

befor

e making any adjustments or repairs except for

carbureto

r adjustments.

Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are

properl

y and securely attached.

MIXING THE

FUEL

This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires

pre-mixing

petrol

and 2- stroke oil. Pre-mix unleaded

fuel and 2- stroke engine oil in a clean container

approved for fuel.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol

intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 87

([R + M] / 2) or higher.

Do not use any type of pre-mixed petrol /oil from fuel

service stations, this includes the pre-mixed petrol/oil

intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.

WARNING:

Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the

gasket.

Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe up

any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from refueling

site before starting engine.

NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new

engine during and after first use.

Use synthinc 2-stroke oil only. Do not use automotive

Mix 2-stroke oil into the petrol at a 50:1 ratio.

Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before

fueling.

Mix in small quantities. Do not mix quantities larger than

usable in a 30 day period. A 2-stroke oil containing a fuel

stabilizer is recommended.

FILLING THE TANK

Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.

Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep

fuel from escaping around the cap.

Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel

a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at

least 9 m from refueling site before starting

engine.

Do not smoke!

OPERATING THE TRIMMER (FIG. 5)

Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and

the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both

hands while in operation.Trimmer should be held at a

comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height.

Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from

the top down.This will prevent grass from wrapping around

the shaft housing and bump head which may cause damage

from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the

bump head, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug

wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial

throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler.

HANDLING

THE FUEL SAFELY

Always handle petrol with care, it is highly flammable.

Always refuel outdoors where there are no sparks and

flames. Do not inhale petrol vapors.

Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with your skin.

Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or

oil comes in contact with the eyes, wash them immedi-

ately with clean water. If irritation is still present, see a

doctor immediately.

Clean up spilled fuel immediately.

Read the operation manual and follow all

warnings and safety instructions.

Wear eye protection and ear protection.

Keep all by standers, especially children

and pets, at least 15m from the operating

area.

SAFETY GUARD LINE TRIMMING CUT-

OFF BLADE (FIG. 7

)

This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade

on the safety guard.. For best cutting, advance line until

it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance line

wheneve

r you hear the engine running faster than normal.

This will maintain best performance and keep line long

h to advance properly.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,

accessorie

s and attachments. Failure to do so can

caus

e possible injury, poor performance and may

voi

d your warranty.

You may make adjustments and repairs described here.

For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an

authorize

d servicing agent.

Consequences of improper maintenance may include

excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of performance

and discharge of black oily residue dripping from the

ffler.

Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are

properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER

Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of

oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port

and muffler may become blocked with carbon deposits. If

you notice a power loss with your petrol powered tool, a

qualified service technician will need to remove these

deposit

s to restore performance.

SPARK ARRESTOR

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 25

hour

s or yearly to ensure proper performance of your

product. Spark arrestors may be in different locations

dependin

g on the model purchased. Please contact your

nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrestor

r your model.

Cleanin

g Instructions:

Remove the spark arrestor from the muffler.

If your spark arrestor is made of a fiberglass material,

discard and replace.

If your spark arrestor is made of

a metal material follow

these cleaning instructions:

1. Spray the spark arrestor with a quality carbon

cleane

2. Gently clean using a wire brush.

3. Install the new or cleaned spark arrestor and reas-

semble completely before use.

REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER (FIG. 16 & 17)

For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

1. Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latch (39)
