Frequently Asked Questions - HTZ 5800 Texas

What type of oil should I use for the fuel mix?

Use a high-quality 2-stroke oil mixed at a ratio of 50:1 (petrol to oil). Do not use automotive oil.

How do I start the Texas HTZ 5800 hedge trimmer?

Ensure the on/off switch is on, pump the primer bulb 6-8 times, set the choke to cold start, pull the starter rope until the engine fires, then push the choke in and pull again to start.

Can I use the hedge trimmer in wet conditions?

No, it is not recommended. Never operate the hedge trimmer in rain or on wet vegetation to avoid electric shock or slipping.

How often should I sharpen the blades?

Sharpen the blades after every 50 hours of use or when you notice tearing rather than clean cuts. Use a file or take to a professional.

What is the correct fuel mixture for this trimmer?

The correct mixture is 50:1 (2.6 oz of 2-stroke oil per gallon of unleaded petrol). Adjust according to oil manufacturer's instructions.

How do I clean the air filter?

Remove the air filter cover, take out the foam filter, wash it in warm soapy water, rinse, let dry, and re-oil lightly before reinstalling. Do not use compressed air.

Why does my hedge trimmer stall under load?

Possible causes: clogged air filter, wrong fuel mix, dull blades, or carburetor issues. Check and clean the air filter first, then inspect spark plug.

What safety gear should I wear?

Always wear safety goggles, gloves, ear protection, long trousers, and non-slip boots. Avoid loose clothing that could get caught.

Can I replace the blades myself?

Yes, but ensure the engine is off and cool. Use the correct replacement blades for the HTZ 5800. Follow the manual for installation torque and alignment.

How do I store the hedge trimmer long-term?

Drain the fuel tank, run the engine until it stops, clean the unit, oil the blades, and store in a dry, ventilated area away from children.

7. Use

See Fig. 3

Before use, make sure that the battery is fitted properly with the battery lock in place.

To start the machine first press the main switch (1), so the On/Off indicator (2) lights green. Then hold the safety switch (3) on front handle and activate the trigger switch (4).

For safety reasons, the hedge trimmer only works when both switches are activated (3+4)

Stop the hedge trimmer by releasing the trigger switch (4) or the front handle switch (3).

The free gab between the blade teeth is 22 mm, but to ensure enough power to cut each branch nicely and avoid the blade getting blocked, it is recommended to avoid branches larger than 18 mm depending on hedge type. Use a handsaw or pruning cutter to trim the larger branches.

Automatic switch off function

The machine is equipped with a switch off function that deactivated the machine if not used within approx. 60 seconds. The green power indicator light will switch off too. Press the main switch (1) to restart.

8. Clothing

When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes, strong working gloves, hearing protectors, safety goggles and boots with non-skid soles

9. Rotatable rear handle

See Fig. 4

The rotatable handle has 5 positions. Spend some time finding the position that is right for you.

The rotatable handle makes the work more ergonomically correct.

To change position pull the lock and turn the handle.

The trigger switch must not be activated when turning the handle, as it will prevent it to turn.

10. Tips and advices

See Fig. 5

Always use both hands to hold the machine. Hold the machine at the side of your body (A)

Work with a swinging action from the bottom and upwards when trimming sides (B). It is recommended to turn the rotatable rear handle 90 degrees when doing this for optimal ergonomy.

When trimming a hedge, the motor should always face away from the hedge. Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance.

Make sure that the tip does not touch the ground.

Apart from hedges the hedge trimmer may also be used for cutting bushes. The best cutting effect is achieved when holding the blade at an angle to the hedge of approx. 15° .

The opposite rotating knives cut on both sides, and it is therefore possible to trim the hedge in both directions.

The illustration shows how the hedge trimmer is used to get the optimal result.

11. Maintenance

Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool.

• Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.
• For obtaining the best cutting results the knives must be cleaned and oiled regularly. Remove dirt with a soft brush and oil lightly.
• Use biodegradable oil.
• Clean the housing and other parts with a mild cleanser and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

12. Storage

Store the hedge trimmer dry and unavailable for children. Keep the blade lubricated. Use the transport protection when the machine is stored.
