Filling with chain oil
WARNING: Be careful not to spill any oil. Thoroughly clean away any spilled chain oil, even if bio-degradable
chain oil is used. Be aware of slipping hazards.
1. Clean the area around the Chain Oil Reservoir Cap (50), and wipe away all debris from the area
2. Open the Chain Oil Reservoir Cap by turning it anticlockwise
3. Fill with an appropriate chain lubricant. DO NOT overfill
4. Immediately refit the Chain Oil Reservoir cap, and close by turning it clockwise until hand tight and sealed
Note: If chain oil delivery cannot be increased through adjustment, thoroughly clean the Guide Bar (24) and its
oil port, and check for damage.
Checking the chain tension
WARNING: ALWAYS wear cut-proof gloves when handling the Saw Chain (25).
GB
•
When properly tensioned, the Saw Chain should sit loosely but snug inside the Guide Bar (24)
•
The chain should be tight enough so that the drive links stay engaged in the Guide Bar when pulling on the
top of the chain (Fig. II). There must be no sag at the bottom of the Guide Bar
•
If the Saw Chain sags, or if drive links can be pulled out of the Guide Bar, adjust the chain tension as
outlined in 'Adjusting chain tension' in the 'Maintenance' section of this manual
WARNING: Saw Chains can also be over-tightened. Tightening the Saw Chain too tightly risks rupture during
operation. There should be some play in the Saw Chain; but not enough for the drive links to leave the Guide
Bar. The chain must ALWAYS be able to move freely and easily on the Guide Bar.
Attaching the shoulder strap
WARNING: Do not use this tool without the Shoulder Strap (29).
•
Attach the Shoulder Strap to the Shoulder Strap Mounting Hole (10) located just in front of the Ignition
Switch (11)
•
Adjust the Shoulder Strap so the head of the tool is evenly balanced, and hovers just above the ground
when in use
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as suitable
gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: Immediately switch off the engine in case of excessive engine noise or vibration, development of
smoke or smells (other than engine exhaust), or if the tool operates sluggishly or at reduced performance.
WARNING: The cutting head will continue to move for a few seconds after the engine has stopped.
Running in the engine
Note: During run-in and cold starts in colder climates, it may be necessary to change the fuel/oil ratio to 25:1.
•
During the first five hours of use, run the engine at a moderate speed
•
The engine will reach its maximum power output at the end of the run-in period
Switching on and off
1. Press the Ignition Switch (11) forwards into the 'I' position
2. If the engine is being started from cold, move the Choke Lever (39) into the 'closed' position before starting
(Image K)
3. Press the Primer Bulb (38), roughly six times, until the bulb is filled with fuel
4. Pull the Recoil Starter (15) two or three times until the engine begins to start
Note: It may be required to pull the Recoil Starter more; depending on the ambient temperature and the fuel
status. If pulling the recoil starter over six times, move the Choke Lever into the middle position to prevent
flooding the engine.
5. Move the Choke Lever into the 'open' position (Image L)
6. Allow the engine to run at idle for ten seconds to allow the engine to warm up
•
To switch the engine off, move the Ignition Switch into the 'STOP' position
•
To operate the tool, squeeze the Trigger Lock (12) to release the Throttle Trigger (14) (Image M)
•
Squeeze the Throttle Trigger to accelerate the engine
Brush cutter operation
•
Operate alone without assistance. Do not allow anyone within a 15 metre radius of the operator and tool
•
Always hold the tool firmly with both hands; the left hand should be firmly holding the Front Handle (30),
whilst the right hand should be holding the Rear Handle (13) to operate the Throttle Trigger (14)
•
Cut from right to left, moving your body in the same direction. The blade rotates anti-clockwise.
WARNING: Cutting from left to right may cause looseness of a blade bolt, or dangerous kickback when the
blade hits stones, trees or other objects unintentionally
•
Avoid stones and stumps, which may cause kickback. Should an object be hit accidentally, stop the engine
and check for damage
•
Correct cutting portion of the blade is 2/3 from the top of the vegetation
•
Always use a well-sharpened Brush Cutter Blade (27). NOTE: that the Brush Cutter Blade must remain
balanced after sharpening
•
Ensure firm footing at all times
•
Ensure the engine is off and the Ignition Switch (11) is in the 'STOP' position before attempting to remove
foreign objects wound around the cutter housing
•
Scything:
•
Guide the Brush Cutter Blade (27) like a scythe to cut long growth, felted grass and brushwood. Do not
use the Brush Cutter Blade for stronger vegetation or wood
•
Scalping:
•
Hold the Brush Cutter Head at an angle of 30° to cut vegetation down to the ground
WARNING: Scalping may present greater danger of injury to the operator and any persons in the vicinity due to
objects being propelled from the ground by the blade.
WARNING: Shrubs and trees may jam the cutting blade. Cut through appropriate undergrowth and brushwood
in stages and from different sides to prevent the blade becoming stuck. If the cutting blade does get stuck, stop
the engine immediately and switch the Ignition Switch to the 'STOP' position before attempting to clear the
blade. The blade may be hot; allow the blade to cool before touching.
Line trimmer operation
•
The trimmer is suitable for trimming high grass and weeds
•
Examine the territory and determine the desired cutting height
•
Always hold the tool firmly with both hands; the left hand should be firmly holding the Front Handle (30),
whilst the right hand should be holding the Rear Handle (13) to operate the Throttle Trigger (14)
•
Swing the trimmer slowly in sickle-like movements from side to side
•
Always hold the cutting head parallel to the ground
•
Operate alone without assistance. Do not allow anyone within a 15 metre radius of the operator
•
Balance the line trimmer to the right in a natural position whilst holding it with the handle grips
•
Always maintain firm footing when using the trimmer
•
Trim longer grass in stages for best results. Cutting longer grass will increase the possibility of foreign
objects becoming stuck in the Bump Feed Spool Head (28)
•
Ensure the engine is off and the Ignition Switch (11) is in the 'STOP' position before attempting to remove
foreign objects wound around the cutter housing
•
To use the bump feed mechanism:
•
To advance the line, bump the base of the spool assembly onto a hard surface whilst maintaining a
moderate engine speed.
WARNING: Excessive line will be cut and projected outwards. When excessive line has been advanced, the
blade located on the Brush Trimmer Guard (26) will trim the line to the right length.
Note: If the line fails to advance when the Bump Feed Spool Head is bumped, switch the engine off and make
sure the Ignition Switch is in the 'STOP' position before inspecting the head.
