• When the engine is stopped the rotating blade must be held in grass or bush until it holds still.

• Always hold the machine with both hands.

• The machine must not be used if the safety guard is not correctly fitted and in mint condition.

• Always stop the engine before attempting to remove objects that may have stuck on the blade.

• Never touch or try to stop the blade while it is still spinning.

• A rotating blade may cause damage, as it continues to spin after the engine has stopped or the gas has been turned off. Always be in control of the tool until the blade has stopped spinning.

• Always make sure that the blade is mounted securely and correctly before every time is used.

• Only use a sharp blade. Replace blades that are worn or damaged.

• Only use original spare parts.

• Only use the blade for weeds, grass and similar.

• Throw back is something that may occur when the rotating blade gets into contact with something, it cannot cut. This contact may have the effect, which the blade stops for a moment, and suddenly the tool is thrown away from the hard object that was hit. This reaction may be so violent that the user loses control of the tool. Throw back may occur without warning if the blade is stuck, loses speed or impeded. This is most likely in areas where it is difficult to see the material that is being cut.

• The harness must always be used and adjusted to fit in the correct manner.

• Keep a firm grip on both handles while the blade is running. Keep the blade away from your body and below your waist. Changing from trimmer to brush cutter Dismounting the trimmer head See Fig 4B

• This product is equipped with a two-stroke engine that demands two-stroke oil added to the petrol.

• Always use unleaded gasolinee.

• Never use ready-mixed gasoline/oil from service stations that is normally used for mopeds, motorbikes, etc.

• Use a clean and approved petrol can for mixing the petrol with oil.

• Use an approved two-stroke oil for air cooled engines, chainsaws, trimmers etc. (Do not use oil for out board engines of cars. (Mix only small quantities).

• We recommend the semisynthetic 2-stroke oil in a 2.5% mixture. That means mixing 0.1 l of 2-stroke oil with 4 l of unleaded gasoline.

• Always follow the guidelines of mixture given by oil manufacturer, however always use minimum a 2.5% mixture (never 2%). If doubt about the guideline of mixture from oil manufacturer, then use a 4% mixture.

• Alkyltate gasoline is not recommended, as it is 2% mixture only and can damage the engine. The warranty will not cover if this happens

• Mix the oil and gasoline thoroughly and shake the can before filling.

• Never use a mix of gasoline and oil that is more than 90 days old as this may lead to problems when starting the engine. Never store the same mixture in the tank for more than 30 days. When storing the machine for more than 30 days you should empty the tank. Filling of petrol - Smoking prohibited!

4. It is normal that the engine smokes the first

time it is used. Notice! Always turn off the engine before fuelling. Never put fuel on a machine that is running or when the engine is hot (cooling time at least 2 minutes). Move more than 3 meters away from the place where you put fuel on the engine before it is started. Refuel (Smoking prohibited) ! Mix and store the fuel in containers that are approved for the purpose. ! Mix the fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames. ! Choose a bare place, turn off the engine and leave it to cool for 2 minutes before refueling. ! Untighten the lid slowly to let out any pressure and to avoid that any fuel spills out under the lid. !

Replacement the trimmer cord Follow the procedure as shown in Fig.5

1. Press on each side of the line compartment.

The lid may now be removed.

2. Dismount the roll simply by pulling it. Leave

the spring on the spool. Remove any bits of line.

3. Take 3-4 meters of new line (2,4 mm) and

place it double in a loop-

4. Fit the loop in the middle of the spool and

wind the nylon lines around the spool in each groove without twisting the line. Follow the direction of the arrows from bottom of the spool. Do not overfill the spool!

5. Mount the line compartment in reverse order.

First, fit the spring into its position. Then place the line in the two metal mortises of the line compartment.

6. Mount the lid. Ensure that it is fitted securely.

Cut of excess nylon line. Always make sure that the trimmer head is fitted securely. If in doubt ask your local dealer for advice.16

• High grass should always be cut from the top and downwards. In this way you prevent the grass from being wrapped around the trimmer head and thereby lead to overheating and damage. If grass and the like is wrapped around the trimmer head the engine must be STOPPED, the spark plug cap taken off and the grass then removed.

• For moving the line forward you tap the trimmer head lightly against the ground while the engine runs at full speed.

• Hold the trimmer at an angle towards the area that is to be cut.

• The illustration shows the best cutting angle (Fig7A).

• Use the line to cut. Do not force the trimmer head into grass that has not yet been cut.

• Wire and fences are hard on the line and may even cause it to break. Stones and walls, and wood cause the line to be worn down very fast. Walk around trees and bushes. Bark and trees, wood boarding and poles are easily damaged by the line Air filter For correct performance and durability, the air filter must be kept clean.

1. Remove the lid of the air filter by unscrewing

the screw that fastens the lid.

2. Wash the filter in mild soap water. Leave it to

dry. Pour on a little two-stroke oil Press out any surplus oil. Replace an old and worn filter.

3. Filter and lid is fitted again. Make sure that the

filter and lid is secured tightened. Clean the air filter for every 5 hours or more often if you work in dusty areas.

Spark plug This machine is equipped with a spark plug with an electrode distance of 0,6 mm. For optimal performance it should be replaced once a year. Storage

1. Empty all fuel into a can approved for petrol.

Let the engine run until it stops.

2. Clean the head and store the machine frost

free and out of reach for children.

3. Observe all safety precautions concerning

safe storage and handling of gasoline. Lubrication of gear

The gear is lubricated from the factory, but for every 30-hour operation Grease MUST be refilled. Top up with grease type: MULTIFAK EP-0 using a grease gun (not included) on the lubrication nipple. See Fig 7B Please note that the gear gun is not supplied.17
