ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Before starting work, prepare the area. You should remove the stones, pieces of wood, branches, wires, bones and other foreign objects, which can cause damage to the grass trimmer or will be thrown out during the operation. When working with the blade there is a risk of blade rebounding towards you and you being hit by the blade. To minimize this risk, do not cut plant parts which are too hard. Rebounding occurs during the sudden stop of the blade during its operation, for example, in the case of inability to cut a bush. Such stoppage results in rotation of the device in opposite direction to the rotation of blade. To prevent rebound phenomenon and its consequences use extreme caution when working with the blade. Do not place body parts in the area of the possible movement of the blade after rebounding. Maintain proper posture and balance during the work time. Hold the tool handles fi rmly and always use the supplied harness or sling. The grass trimmer rebound can lead to the fall down of its operator and endanger the operator for contact with rotating blade. The blade should be sharpened. Turn the engine on in accordance with the instructions, pay attention to the feet, hands and other body parts, whether they are away from the cutting element. Do not keep the hands, feet and other body parts in the vicinity of the rotating parts. Stop the engine when: - every time when you need to go away from the device, - before cleaning, checking, or servicing the device, - after striking by a foreign object. Check whether the grass trimmer is damaged and, if necessary, make repairs, before restarting. - if the device begins to vibrate excessively (check immediately). - during handling and transportation of the device. ATTENTION! After stopping the engine, the cutting unit rotates for some time. Wait until it stops. Always observe your surroundings and keep alert to possible threats, which may not be realized due to the noise of the device. The tool produces a low-intensity electromagnetic fi eld. The electromagnetic fi eld may aff ect the work of electrical equipment located near this tool and cardiac pacemakers. Before you start the work it is recommended to consultat your doctor and / or manufacturer of the cardiac pacemaker.

GRASS TRIMMER OPERATING

Preparing the grass trimmer for operation Before its fi rst use, you must install the cutting element, which is corresponding to a given work: the head of the cutting line or blade, cutting element cover the additional handle and belt-harness. The head of the cutting line should be used just to mow the grass. Use the blade to cut shrubs, woody plant shoots, etc. In order to mount the guard of cutting element you should fasten it with the screw to spindle cover (II). The provided cover is ap- propriate for work with the cutting line and blade as well. On cover the blade is fi xed, it is used for automatic shortening of the line. If the blade is equipped with protection you should remove it before you start using the line for your work. Mount the cutter handle. To dismount the upper part of the handle clamp, remove all screws. Next, place the handle connector in the lower part of the clamp and mount the upper part of the clamp. Connect both parts of the clamp by screws (III). Select the clamp location such that it is not necessary to excessively reach for them. In case of observance of hand exhaustion, numbing, or pain during work, stop working, stop the engine and change position of handles to the more comfortable one. Connect both parts of the cover of the drive shaft. To do this, loosen the clamp knob that connects the driving shaft covers, and then press and hold the lock lever (IV). Insert the lower cover into the clamp and make sure that the hook of the lock reaches the hole in the cover. Secure the connection by tightening the clamp knob (IV) to lock both parts of the driving shaft covers with respect to each other. Depending on the supplied equipment you should put on the belt or harness (V). The length of strips should be adjusted so they are not pressing the operator’s body, but at the same time they do not move during the operation. The grass trimmer can also19 ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

be hung on the harness or on a belt other than the one which is supplied with the unit providing that it can be hung on a belt or harness, without any modifi cations of its mounting. Hang the grass trimmer z by putting the belt or harness hook through the eye of clamp. Ensure that the safety spring returned back to its initial position. This will prevent the possible spontaneous release of devices from a harness or belt. Then adjust the angle and position of the handle, for this purpose loosen the mounting knob and set the handle to ensure the full freedom of movement during operation, and ensure that the both handles are placed in such a position to not cause excessive burden. Hands should be bent at the elbows. The cutting element should move in a plane parallel to the ground. If necessary, you can move the position of the clamp. For this purpose, loosen the screw (VI), move the clamp, and then tighten the screw to block the spontaneous movement of the clamp. Position of the clamp should be adjusted in such a manner, that it would be located just behind the center of gravity of hanging on it the grass trimmer, this will cause that the cutting element is self-tilted towards the ground. Unhook the grass trimmer from the harness or belt. Remove the belt or harness. Depending on the choice of the cutting element, mount a spool of cutting line or metal cutting blade. Attention! Because of the risk of injury, when mounting the blade you should wear protective gloves, and you should mount the blade itself with protective cover attached. When mounting the reel with cutting line it must be mounted the fi xing fl ange, then, blocking the possibility of spindle rotation, screw on the spool of cutting line (VII). When installing the blade you should put the upper fl ange on spindle. Put on the cutting blade on collar so, that the hole in the blade hit the protruding part of the mounting fl ange (VIII). Place the bottom fl ange, cover of the mounting fl anges and using bolts securely tighten the blade, blocking the possibility of rotation of the spindle (IX). Refuelling A blend of fuel, which is intended for two-stroke engines, is used to drive the grass trimmer. It is forbidden to use only the gasoline. Mix gasoline with oil in the proportions petrol : oil - 40 : 1 1. Mix the mix before pouring it into the fuel tank. Mixing and pouring the fuel must be carried out away from sources of ignition. Do not smoke while refueling. Fill the tank at a distance of at least 3 meters away from starting or operating the device. In order to protect the engine, you should use a good quality unleaded petrol and good-quality oil for two-stroke air-cooled en- gines. Do not use the oil intended for four-stroke engines, and oil, which is intended for liquid-cooled engines. If fuel spills you should carefully rub the remains before starting the grass trimmer. Do not use mixes older than 30 days. After addition of fuel to the tank and tightly close its. Starting and stopping the grass trimmer The grass trimmer should be placed on a level, fl at, hard surface. Make sure that the cutting element does not encounter any obstacles during its revolution. If you installed the blade, make sure that the cover has been removed from it. It is forbidden to start the grass trimmer without properly fi tted items: additional handle and cover of the cutting element. Switch the power switch to “I- switched on” (X). Press fuel pump 10 times. (XI) Set the throttle lever to upper position “CLOSED” (XII). When holding with one hand the grass trimmer, you should energetically pull the starter line for a few times with the other hand, until the engine begins to start (XIII). Attention! Do not start the grass trimmer holding it in your hands. The cutting element can touch parts of the body and cause a serious injury. Move the choke lever to the “OPEN” position, and pull the starter line vigorously until the engine is switched on. You should not unreel the link to its full length, because this may break it. Attention should be paid to that the starting line be pulled up along the axis of hole, drawing angled link will lead to premature wear of it. After you start the grass trimmer, you should press the lock button on throttle, and then throttle button itself (XIV) this will invoke rotations of the cutting element. The deeper the button is pressed the higher is engine speed. On the cover of the cutting element there is inserted an arrow showing the direction of rotation of cutting element. Make sure that the rotation of the cutting element follows in the direction specifi ed by the arrow. To stop the engine, release the pressure on the throttle button, wait until the rotation of cutting element stops, then switch the on/off switch in position “O - switched off ”. If you hear any suspicious noises, or feel the vibration you should immediately disable the grass trimmer by switching the power switch to the “O - switched off ”. Attention! When you are starting a warm engine, for example, during short breaks in work lasting for several minutes, it is not necessary to adjust the choke lever to the position “OPEN”.20

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS If you need to stop the grass trimmer for an emergency reason you should move the switch to the position “I - switched off ” which will stop the engine and, as a consequence, stop the cutting element. You should, however, take into consideration that when you turn off the grass trimmer cutting its element can swirl several more times. It is forbidden to stop the cutting element by applying pressing it to the ground or by hitting the obstacles. Control handle can be fi tted with the button, which is locking on the throttle button pressed at 1/3 the scope of the work. Press the lock button then press the lock of the throttle button, and then the throttle button itself. When you release the pressure on all the buttons, the throttle button should be locked (XV). Attention! Locking the throttle button can help you start faster in the case of the fl ooding of engine with fuel or, in the case of start- ing the engine at low temperatures. Do not use this throttle locking button during normal startups. The lock throttle button should be used only in the case of inability to start the engine in a normal way. To release the lock you should lightly press the throttle. Operating the grass trimmer Proceed to work only when the cutting element obtains the maximum revolutions, to do this, press the throttle to its maximum. When you are working, you must hold the grass trimmer in such a way that the cutting element moves always in a plane, which is parallel to the ground. In order to obtain the maximum effi ciency of mowing you should determine the maximum length of the cutting line. To do this, start the grass trimmer and let the engine obtain its maximum revolutions then gently hit the spool with line to the ground. This will allow to to unreel the cutting line, and the knife, which is placed in line guard, will prune it to the correct length. Attention! It is forbidden to rely the spool on the ground during its operation. This will cause to wear all the line on spool. If, for any reason, the line would not to reel out by itself, you should stop the grass trimmer engine, disconnect spark plug cable, and then check out what was causing the jam. The line should be reeled out every time when you hear that the engine reaches higher revolutions than during normal opera- tion. When working It is recommended to move the grass trimmer from right to left. You should avoid mowing with the grass trimmer movement from left to right. This will allow the operator to avoid the remnants of cut grass while mowing. Avoid mowing the shrubs and bushes. Work the grass trimmer near trees can damage their bark. Hitting stones, bricks, walls, or other similar surfaces with the line can lead to very rapid wear to the cutting line. In the case the blade is used, you should avoid cutting by its right upper quarter (XVI). This will prevent situation, when the grass trimmer is rebound in the direction of operator in the event of blockage blade during operation. Harness allows for emergency detaching from the grass trimmer. To do this, pull the red tape on the mounting. The grass trimmer will be detached with the harness latch. Before starting work, disconnect the latch from the clamp of grass trimmer, and then catch it on the harnesses (XVII). During the emergency detachment of the grass trimmer from the harness the trimmer can hit the ground. After each emergency detachment of the harness from the grass trimmer you should make visual inspection for damages and remove them before resuming the work.

MAINTENANCE OF THE GRASS TRIMMER

Before starting any operation, which is described below, turn off the grass trimer. Make sure that the engine is cold. Disconnect the spark plug wire in order to avoid the accidental launch of grass trimmer. Replacing the spark plug and its maintenance (XVIII) Dismount the cover of the plug socket. Remove the rubber cover of the plug joint. The distance between electrodes should fall within the range of 0.6 – 0.7 mm. Should there be any contamination observed, attempt to clean electrodes of the plug with the use of brass wire brush. In case cleaning is not eff ective, replace the plug with a new one. Check the plug condition at least once a month. Maintenance of the air fi lter (XIX) Air fi lter maintenance should be performed after each use of the grass trimmer. Unscrew the screw which is supporting the fi lter cover and remove cover. Pull out the fi lter and rinse it in warm water with soap. Completely dry the fi lter and mount it back on its place. Screw the fi lter cover. Other maintenance operations After each use, you should also check the overall condition of the device. Tighten loose screw connections. Check if there are no fuel leaks. Check the patency of the ventilation openings. Check that all guards and covers are in good condition, devoid of cracks or other damage. Before further work you must remove any observed defects.21 ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance of the muffl er and exhaust system Depending on the used fuel, oil and a mixture ratio, silencer and exhaust system can accumulate nagar or soot. This may cause a decrease in performance of the device. In order to restore the previous performance you should submit the device to manufac- turer’s authorized service. Replacing the cutting line (XX) Unscrew the cover spool from the grass trimmer spindle. At the same time press both lock buttons on spool housing and pull out the spool from its cover. Remove the remnants of old cutting line from the spool. Spool, spool CAP, spring and mounting screw should be clean up with remnants of grass, earth, and other contaminations. Prepare a section of line with the diameter and length given in the technical data table. In the middle of the length, put the line through the gap between two parts of the spool. Reel the line on both parts of the spool in a counterclockwise direction. Behind the gaps you should leave about 15 cm of the line which should be put through the holes in the housing. Close the spool in its housing. Mount the spool with cutting line in accordance with the procedure described in point “Preparing the grass trimmer for operation” Storing the grass trimmer Proper maintenance before storage will allow for long trouble-free operation of the grass trimmer Before storing the grass trimmer for an extended period of time, you should empty the tank and the system of the fuel. Check the condition of the fuel system for leaks. If you fi nd them, remove them before storage. To do this, you should submit the grass trimmer to an authorized service center. Drain the tank with fuel, by means, for example, of a plastic fuel pump that is commercially available. Start the engine and let it idle until it shuts down. This will clean the carburetor of remaining fuel. Allow to cool down the engine. Remove the spark plug. Through the opening pour one teaspoon of oil for two-stroke engines. Several times, carefully draw starter line, it will distribute the oil in combustion chamber. Install the spark plug. Clean the grass trimmer from the remnants of grass, soil and other contaminants.
