Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your brushcutter/grass trimmer.

INTENDED USE

The brushcutter/grass trimmer is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual and can be considered responsible for their actions. The product is only intended for use outdoors in a well ventilated area. For safety reasons, the product must be adequately controlled by using two-handed operation.

The product fitted with the grass trimmer head (and appropriate guard) is intended for cutting long grass, pulpy weed, and similar vegetation at or about ground level. When fitted with the Tri-Arc™ blade (and appropriate guard), it can also cut bushes. When fitted with the saw blade (and appropriate guard), it can also cut small trees.

The cutting plane should be approximately parallel to the ground surface. The product should not be used to cut or trim hedges, bushes, or other vegetation where the cutting plane is not parallel to the ground surface.

Do not use the product for any other purpose.

• cleaning your product
- changing accessories
- clearing blockages
- checking for any damage after hitting an object
- checking for any damage if the product starts to vibrate abnormally
• performing maintenance
- removing blade
- installing blade

WARNING

Never use cutting means or attachments, which are not specified by Ryobi in this manual. This includes the use of metal multi-piece pivoting chains and flail-blades. These items are known to break up during use and present a high risk of serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

WARNING

Inspection after dropping or other impacts: Thoroughly inspect the product and identify any problems or damage to it. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.

GRASS TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Replace the string head if cracked, chipped, or damaged in any way. Be sure the string head is properly installed and securely fastened. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
■ Avoid using on wet grass.
■ Do not walk backwards when using the product.
■ Walk, never run.
■ The small blade fitted to the cutting attachment guard is designed to trim the new extended line to the correct length for safe and optimum performance. It is very sharp; do not touch it, particularly when cleaning the product.
■ Always ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear of debris.
■ Before use and after any impact, check that there are no damaged parts. Examine the cutting means for signs of cracking or other damage. A defective switch or any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility.
■ Make sure the head attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.

■ Make sure all guards, deflectors, handles, bolts, and fasteners are properly and securely attached.
■ Do not modify the product in any way. This may increase the risk of injury to yourself or others.
■ Use only the manufacturer's replacement line in the cutting head. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
■ Never operate the product without the cutting attachment guard in place and in good condition.
- Maintain a firm grip on both handles while trimming. Keep string head below waist level. Never cut with the string head located over 76 cm or more above the ground.

BRUSHCUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ In addition to the above rules, these additional instructions are appropriate when using the product in brushcutter mode.
■ Use heavy-duty gloves while installing or removing the blades, they have sharp edges.
■ Do not attempt to touch or stop the blade when it is rotating.
■ A moving blade can cause severe injury. Maintain proper control of the product with both hands until the blade has completely stopped rotating.
■ Replace any blade that has been damaged. Always make sure the blade is installed correctly and securely fastened before each use.
■ Use only the manufacturer's replacement Tri-Arc™ blade or saw blade. Do not use any other cutting attachment.
■ Never cut any material over 13 mm diameter for Tri-Arc™ blade and over 40 mm diameter for the saw blade.
- Your brushcutter is fitted with a harness. Carefully adjust the harness to fit comfortably and help to support the weight of the product at your right side.
■ Identify the quick release mechanism and practice using it before you start using the product. Its correct use may prevent serious injury in case of an emergency. Never wear additional clothing over the harness or otherwise restrict access to the quick release mechanism.
■ Cover the blade with the blade protector before storing the product, or during transportation. Always remove the blade protector before using the product. If not removed, the blade protector could become a thrown object as the blade begins to turn.
■ Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with the product. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an

FR EN DE ES IT PT NL SV DA NO FI HU CS RU RO PL SL HR ET LT LV SK BG UK TR

English (Original instructions)

instant, and suddenly "thrust" the product away from the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control of the product. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut.

■ For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this practice could minimise the blade thrust reaction. Both hands must be used at all times to control the product.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

■ Contact with cutting means

- Ensure that the blade protectors are fitted when the product is not in use. Keep hands and feet away from the blades at all times.

■ Injury caused by vibration

- Always use the right tool for the job, use designated handles, and restrict working time and exposure.

■ Hearing injury caused by exposure to noise

– Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.

■ Eye injury caused by flying debris

– Wear eye protection at all times.

■ Risk of falling objects

- Wear head protection if there is any risk of falling objects.

Kickback can occur when using the brushcutter. Ensure proper control by using both hands on the designated handles. Read and follow the directions elsewhere in this manual to help reduce the risk of kickback.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

- Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.

■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation.
■ Ensure that the product is correctly located in a designated working position before starting the product.
■ Limit the amount of exposure per day. Take frequent work breaks.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your physician.

WARNING

Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use of the product. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

■ Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before storing or transporting.
■ Clean all foreign materials from the product.
■ If a cutting blade is fitted, cover it with the blade protector.
- Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for petrol. Remember to properly replace and tighten the fuel cap.
■ Run the engine until it stops, this will remove all fuel that could become stale and leave varnish and gum in the fuel system.
■ Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and deicing salts. Do not store outdoors.
■ When transporting the product in a vehicle, secure it against movement or falling to prevent injury to persons or damage to the product.
■ Never carry or transport the product while the engine is running.
■ Abide all government and local regulations for the safety storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be used in other 2-cycle engine powered equipment.

To stop the engine:

See figure 20.

Place the ignition switch to the "O" (OFF) position.

■ Hold the product with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a

English (Original instructions)

firm grip with both hands while in operation.

■ The product should be held at a comfortable position with the trigger handle about hip height.
■ Always operate the product at full throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping from the silencer.
- Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and string head, which may cause damage from overheating.
■ If grass or debris becomes wrapped around the cutting means, stop the engine. Wear heavy-duty gloves to prevent injury from the sharp blades and carefully remove the debris.

CUTTING TIPS

See figure 12.

■ Do not push into the grass to be cut. Move from side to side. Move forward a little at the end of each sweep.
- Keep the product tilted towards the area being cut.
■ Do not use in dangerous environments.
■ Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force the string head into the uncut grass.
■ Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may wear string rapidly.
■ Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings, cladding and fence posts can be easily damaged by the string.

ADVANCING THE LINE

Line advance is controlled by tapping the string head on grass while running engine at full throttle.

■ Run engine at full throttle.
■ Tap the knob on the ground to advance the string. The string advances each time the knob is tapped. Do not hold the knob on the ground.
■ The string should advance until it is cut to length by the line cutting blade located on the cutting attachment guard.

■ To help reduce the risk of kickback: Do not push into the material to be cut. Move from right to left in steady sweeps. Move forward a little at the beginning of each new sweep.
■ Hold the product with the right hand on the trigger handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
■ The product should be held at a comfortable position

with the trigger handle about hip height.

■ Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the kickback reaction of the cutting blade.
■ Adjust the strap hanger to a comfortable position.

Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with the product. Blade thrust is the reaction that may occur when the spinning blade contacts anything it cannot cut. This contact may cause the blade to stop for an instant, and suddenly "thrust" the product away from the object that was hit. This reaction can be violent enough to cause the operator to lose control of the product. Blade thrust may occur without warning if the blade snags, stalls, or binds. This is more likely to occur in areas where it is difficult to see the material being cut. For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left. In the event an unexpected object or woody stock is encountered, this could minimize the blade thrust reaction.

TRI-ARC™ BLADE

The Tri-Arc™ blade is suitable for cutting pulpy weeds and vines only. When the Tri-Arc™ blade becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend its life. Do not sharpen the blade.

SAW BLADE

The saw blade is suitable for cutting pulpy weeds, vines, bushes, and small trees. Worn saw blades can cause poor performance. Check the saw blade before each use. Replace the worn or damaged blade immediately.

CUTTING TECHNIQUE

WARNING

The blades are sharp and can injure even if they are not moving. Exercise extreme caution when using the blade with the product. Safe operation of the product requires that you read and understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to the tool.

■ Both hands must be used at all times to control the product. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
■ Maintain your grip and balance on both feet. Position yourself so that you will not be drawn off balance by the kickback reaction of the cutting blade.
■ Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects such as glass, stones, concrete, fencing, wire, wood, metal, etc.
■ Never use blades near footpaths, fencing, posts, buildings or other immovable objects.
■ Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any

FR EN DE ES IT PT NL SV DA NO FI HU CS RU RO PL SL HR ET LT LV SK BG UK TR

English (Original instructions)

damage is detected.

■ For cutting ease and safety, approach the weeds being cut from the right to the left.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts and accessories. Failure to do so may cause poor performance, contribute to possible injury, and will void your warranty.

■ The cutting attachment must not rotate in idle mode. If this requirement is not satisfied, the clutch has to be adjusted or the product needs an urgent maintenance by a qualified technician.
■ You may make adjustments and repairs described in this user manual. For other repairs, have the product serviced by an authorised service centre.
■ Consequences of improper maintenance may include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of performance and discharge of black oily residue dripping from the silencer.
■ Make sure the cutting attachment guards, harness and handles are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of personal injury.

STRING REPLACEMENT

See figure 10.

■ Ensure the ignition switch is in the "off" position.
■ Use a 2.4 mm diameter monofilament string.
■ Cut one piece of string approximately 6 m in length.
■ Rotate the knob on the string head until the line on knob aligns with the arrows on the top of string head.
■ Insert one end of the string into the eyelet located on the side of the string head and push until string comes out through eyelet on the other side. Continue to push string through the string head until the middle section of the string is inside the string head and string outside the string head is evenly divided on each side.
■ Rotate the knob on the string head clockwise to wind the string.
■ Wind the string until approximately 20 cm remains protruding from the string head.

BLADE PROTECTOR

See figure 17 - 18.

Always place the blade protector on the blade when the product is not in use. The blade protector has clips round the edges to snap over the blade and keep it in place. Wear gloves and be cautious when handling the blade.

NOTE: Always remove the blade protector before using the product. If not removed, the blade protector could become a thrown object as the blade begins to turn.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND SILENCER

Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port and silencer 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 deposits to restore performance.

CLEANING AIR FILTER

See figure 19.

■ Ensure the ignition switch is in the "off" position.
■ Remove the air filter knob and air filter cover.
■ Remove the air filter and clean it with warm soapy water.
■ Rinse, and let the air filter dry completely.
■ Replace the air filter.

NOTE: If damaged, replace immediately.

■ Replace the air filter cover.
■ Tighten the air filter knob.

NOTE: The air filter should be replaced annually for the best performance.

CHECKING THE FUEL CAP

WARNING

A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable fi liter and a check valve. A clogged fuel fi liter will cause poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or the fi liter may be clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses an L8RTF/NHSP LD, or L8RTF/BOSCH spark plug or equivalent with 0.5 mm electrode gap. Use an exact replacement.

CAUTION

Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross-threading will damage the engine.
