Frequently Asked Questions - FX-MS152T Fuxtec

What type of fuel to use for the FX-MS152T?

Use a mixture of unleaded gasoline (SP98 recommended) and 2-stroke engine oil in a ratio of 40:1. For the first uses, a ratio of 25:1 can be used for better initial lubrication.

How to start the engine when cold?

Place the machine on a flat surface. Set the switch to 'I', push the choke lever to 'KALT START' position, press the primer bulb 8 to 10 times, then pull the starter cord firmly until the engine responds. Then move the choke to 'WARM START' position and pull again to start.

How to replace the nylon cutting line?

Turn off the engine. Remove the nylon head, open it by pressing the unlock button. Cut 5 meters of new line, wind it clockwise, then insert the ends into the provided holes. Close the spool until it clicks.

What are the essential safety precautions?

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, gloves, safety shoes, and long trousers. Keep a distance of at least 15 meters from people and animals. Do not smoke when refueling. Never touch the rotating blade.

How to maintain the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 10 hours or more often if the environment is dusty. Remove the filter, wash it with soapy water, rinse, and let it air dry. Never use gasoline or solvent. Replace it before use.

Why does the engine not start?

First check the spark plug: clean deposits and set the gap to 0.6‑0.7 mm. Ensure the fuel mixture is fresh and correct. Check that the choke is in the correct position and that the tank has enough fuel.

What is the emergency stop procedure?

Release the throttle handle to return to idle, then push the stop switch up until it stops completely. In an emergency, disconnect the spark plug connector.

How to store the machine for a long period?

Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until the fuel in the carburetor is used up. Clean the machine, remove the spark plug, pour a teaspoon of 2-stroke oil into the cylinder, pull the starter cord slowly, then replace the spark plug. Store in a dry, cool place away from ignition sources.

What is the maximum allowed speed for nylon line and blade?

For nylon line (grass trimming): 6 600 min⁻¹. For metal blade (brushcutting): 7 100 min⁻¹. Respect these limits to avoid any risk of breakage.

1. throttle lever

2. throttle trigger

3. Stop switch

O: Stop position

I: Start position

1. While holding the unit firmly, pull out the starter rope quickly until engine fires.

0IMPORTANT

• Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter failures.
• Move the choke lever to the open position. And pull out the starter rope quickly to restart engine.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before starting operation.

NOTE

1. When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the choke open.

2. Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. When the engine failed to start after several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope, or remove the spark plug and dry it.

STOPPING ENGINE

1. Release the throttle lever and run the engine for a half minute.
2. Shift the ignition switch to the STOP position. (OP3)

NOTE

Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine while pulling the throttle lever.

TRIMMER HEAD USAGE

WARNING

1. Always wear eye protection such as safety goggles. Never lean over the rotating cutting head. Rocks or other debris could be thrown into eyes and face and cause serious personal injury.
2. Keep the protection guard attached in place at all times when the unit is operated.

TRIMMING GRASS AND WEEDS

• Always remember that the TIP of the line does cutting. You will achieve better results by not crowding the line into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its own pace.

• Hold the unit so the head is off the ground and is tilted about 20 degrees toward the sweep direction.

• You can avoid thrown debris by sweeping from your right to the left.
• Use a slow, deliberate action to cut heavy growth. The rate of cutting motion will depend on the material being cut. Heavy growth will require slower action than will light growth.
• Never swing the unit so hard as you are in danger of losing your balance or control of the unit.
• Try to control the cutting motion with the hip rather than placing the full workload on the arm and hands.
• Take precautions to avoid wire, grass and dead, dry, long-stem weeds from wrapping around the head shaft. Such materials can stall the head and cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the clutch system if repeated frequently.

ADJUSTING THE LINE LENGTH

• Your brush cutters is equipped with a semi- auto type nylon line head that allows the operator to advance the line without stopping the engine. When the line becomes short, lightly tap the head on the ground while running the engine at full throttle.
• Each time the head is bumped, the line advance about 1 inch (25.4 mm). For better effect, tap the head on bear ground or hard soil. Avoid bumping in thick, tall grass as the engine may stall by overload.

1. Tap knob
2. Hit knob against the ground surface lightly
3. Nylon line comes out

METAL BLADE USAGE

NOTE

Choose a suitable recommended cutting attachment according to the object to be cut.

WARNING

• When sharpening, removing, or reattaching the blade, be sure to wear thick, sturdy gloves and use only proper tools and equipment to prevent injury.

• Check the bolt to fasten the blade and be sure the bolt has no fault, and no abrasion.

• Be sure that the blade and the holder have been fastened according to instruction and the blade turns smoothly without abnormal noise.

WARNING

• The rotating parts fastened incorrectly may cause serious accident to the operator.
• Make sure that the blade is not bent, warped, cracked, broken or damaged.
• If you find any error to the blade, discard it and change new one.
• By using the harness, hang the unit on your right side. Adjust the harness length so that the cutting head may become parallel to the ground.

WARNING

• Make sure to use harness and cutting attachment guard. If not, it is very dangerous when you slip or lose your balance.

29. Cutting method

CUTTING METHOD

(a) Use the front left side cutting.
(b) Guide the blade from your right to left with it tilted slightly to your left.
(c) When mowing a wide area, start working from your left end to avoid interference of cut grass.
(d) The blade may be seized by weeds if the engine speed is too low, or the blade cuts too deep into weeds. Adjust the engine speed and cutting depth according to the condition of object.

WARNING

• If the grass or other object gets caught in the blade, or if the unit starts to shake or vibrate, turn off the engine and check the whole unit. Change the blade if it has been damaged.
• Turn off the engine and make sure the blade has completely stopped before checking the blade, and removing any object got caught in.

REFILLING TRIMMING LINE

1. For replacement line, use a diameter of 2.4mm (.095in). The spool is capable for a line up to 6m (20ft) on the 10cm (4") head. Avoid using a larger line as it may cut down the trimming performance.
2. Pinch the slotted area on the both sides of the spool housing to unhook the bottom cap.
3. Take out the spool and pull off the old line. Put one end of new line through the spool holes and pull it until the length is equal between each part of the line.
4. Wind up the line in the correct direction as indicated on the spool.
5. Hook each end of the line in the slot on the edge of the spool, and then put the ends through the eyelets on the housing. Make sure that the spring and the washers are in place.
6. While holding the spool against the housing, pull the line ends to release them from the slot.
7. Line up the slot on the bottom cap with the hook on the housing, press the cap against the housing until it clicks.

AIR FILTER

The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine performance. Monthly check and clean the filter element in warm, soapy water as required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is broken or shrunk, replace with a new one.

FUEL FILTER

• When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel cap and the fuel filter for blockage.

(1) Fuel filter

SPARK PLUG

• Starting failure and misfiring are often caused by a fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check that the plug gap is in the correct range. For a replacement plug, use the correct type
  Periodically clean the spark plug and check that the spark gap is in the correct range.

0IMPORTANT

• Note that using any spark plugs other than those designated may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becoming overheated and damaged.
