Do not smoke or bring fl ames or sparks near the fueling site. ○ Slowly open the fuel tank, when fi lling up with fuel, so that possible over-pressure disappears. ○ Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully, after fueling. ○ Always move the unit at least 3 m from the fueling area before starting. ○ Always wash any spilled fuel from clothing immediately with soap. ○ Be sure to check for any fuel leakage after refueling. ○ Before fueling, in order to remove static electricity from the main body, the fuel container and the operator, please touch the ground that is slightly damp. Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container, before fueling. Starting WARNING ○ Before starting the tool, ensure that the cutting blade is not touching any objects or the ground. Otherwise, the cutting blade may unexpectedly move and cause an injury. ○ Ensure that the cutting blade does not move while the engine is idling. If it does move, adjust the idle speed according to the instructions in “idle speed adjustment” in the “MAINTENANCE” section. If the cutting blade still moves after this adjustment, immediately stop the engine and cease use, then bring the tool to the nearest Tanaka dealer. (1) Starting the cold engine

1. Set ignition switch (8) to ON position. (Fig. 4)

2. Push priming bulb (9) several times so that fuel fl ows into

carburetor. (Fig. 5)

3. Set choke lever (10) to START position (closed) (A).

4. Pull starter handle briskly, taking care to keep the handle

in your grasp and not allowing it to snap back. (Fig. 7)

5. When you hear the engine want to start, return choke

lever to RUN position (open) (B). (Fig. 6)

6. Pull starter handle briskly again. (Fig. 7)

NOTE If engine does not start, repeat procedures from 2 to 5.

7. Then allow the engine about 2–3 minutes to warm up

before subjecting it to any load.

8. Check that the cutting blade does not move when the

engine is idling. (2) Starting the warm engine Use only 1, 2, 6 and 8 of the starting procedure for a cold engine. If the engine does not start, use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine. Cutting WARNING Always wear the proper attire and protective equipment when operating the unit. (Fig. 2) NOTE Use in accordance with local laws and regulations. ○ When cutting, operate engine at full throttle as this maintains proper blade speed. ○ When trimming top of hedge, hold trimmer so blades are between 15 and 30 degrees from a horizontal position and swing trimmer in an arc toward edge of hedge to sweep cuttings off . (Fig. 8) ○ When trimming sides of hedge, hold blade vertically and swing unit in an arc. (Fig. 9) NOTE ○ Some garden trees have wood that is very hard and may be beyond the capacity of the tool even if it is of a width that is within normal capacity. Use a pair of pruning shear to remove thick branches before starting work. ○ An oblique cut may also exceed the capacity of the tool since the length of the cut increases. Be sure to trim thick branches at right angles. CAUTION Work that will repeatedly cause the blade to stop will eventually damage the tool. Multi-position twist handle (Fig. 10) The rear control handle turns 90 degrees to provide comfortable use while accommodating a variety of cutting angles. The handle allows for fi ve diff erent looking positions. Rotating the rear handle;

1. Push the lock button (11) allowing the handle to turn.

2. Rotate the handle to the desired 0°, 45°or 90° locking

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE

EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY

BE PERFORMED BY ANY NON-ROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL. Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 12) The carburetor is a precision part that mixes air and fuel, and it is designed to ensure high performance from the engine. Before the tool is shipped from the factory, its carburetor is adjusted during a test run. Only make adjustments if it is necessary because of environmental conditions (the climate or atmospheric pressure), the type of fuel, the type of two- cycle oil, etc. WARNING ○ Because the carburetor is manufactured with a high degree of precision, do not disassemble it. ○ For this product, the only setting of the carburetor that can be adjusted is the idle speed (T). T = Idle speed adjustment screw. Idle speed adjustment (T) WARNING ○ When the engine is stopped, do not excessively turn the idle speed adjustment screw (T) in a clockwise direction. Otherwise, when the engine start, the cutting blade may unexpectedly move and cause an injury. ○ Do not adjust the idle speed adjustment screw (T) for any reason other than to adjust the idling. Run the engine while adjusting the idling (1) If the engine stops during idling Start the engine, and slowly turn the idle speed adjustment screw (T) in a clockwise direction until it is in a position at which the engine rotates smoothly. At that time, ensure that the cutting blade is not moving. (2) If the cutting blade moves during idling Slowly turn the idle speed adjustment screw (T) in a counter-clockwise direction until it is in a position at which the cutting blade does not move. At that time, ensure that the rotation of the engine is smooth. WARNING If the cutting blade still moves after adjustment of the idle speed adjustment screw (T), immediately stop the engine and cease use, then contact the nearest Tanaka dealer. Air fi lter (Fig. 13) The air fi lter (12) must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid: ○ Carburetor malfunctions ○ Starting problems ○ Engine power reduction ○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts ○ Abnormal fuel consumption Clean the air fi lter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas. Loosen the bolt (13), then remove the air cleaner cover and the air fi lter (12). Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that the fi lter is dry before reassembly. An air fi lter that has been used for some time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A damaged fi lter must always be replaced. Fuel fi lter (Fig. 14) Remove the fuel fi lter (14) from the fuel tank, and replace it if it is dirty. NOTE A blocked fuel fi lter (14) can prevent the supply of fuel and cause a rotation malfunction of the engine. Spark plug (Fig. 15) The spark plug condition is infl uenced by: ○ An incorrect carburetor setting. ○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline). ○ A dirty air fi lter. ○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather). These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in malfunction and starting diffi culties. If the engine is low on power, diffi cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug fi rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded. NOTE In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement. Cutting blade WARNING Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade. The blades are installed to the blade guide with the fi ve or six bolts. Those bolts are tightened with a clearance so that the cutters can move smoothly. To adjust the blade clearance (Fig. 16)

1. Loosen the blade fi xing nuts (15).

2. Fully tighten the blade fi xing bolts (16) and then loosen

them approx. 3/8 turn.

3. With the bolts (16) set at that position, tighten the blade

fi xing nuts (15). NOTE (1) When clearance is too small The blades do not move properly and the sliding surfaces may seize. (2) When clearance is too large The blades are poor in sharpness. CAUTION Be sure to replace blade fi xing bolts when they are loosened, worn or damaged. Also be sure to replace damaged cutting blade. Lubricating the blade (Fig. 17) During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge will increase load. Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like) to lubricate the blade and wipe the blade with a cloth. To prevent the blade from rusting, be sure to lubricate the blade after use and when it will not be used for an extended period of time before placing it in the blade case. Gear case (Fig. 18) Refi ll the grease about every 20 hours of operation. Fill a quality lithium based grease about 3g from the grease nipple on the side of gear case (indicated by an arrow) using a commercially available cartridge grease gun. CAUTION Before attempting inspection or maintenance of the gear case, make sure the gear case has cooled. For long-term storage Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops. Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole, and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil. Cover the unit and store it in a dry area. 000BookTCH24EAP.indb9000BookTCH24EAP.indb9 2019/01/2917:39:112019/01/2917:39:11English
