Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 9)

WARNING

● The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor adjustments.

● Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover. Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.

In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run at the factory, the carburetor is adjusted. A further adjustment may be required, according to climate and altitude. The carburetor has one adjustment possibility:

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

HiKOKI CH22EAP2(50ST) - WARNING - 1

text_image Technical diagram showing a hand using a tool to adjust or install a mechanical component labeled 'T'

Fig. 9

Idle speed adjustment (T)

Check that the air filter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close (clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment, contact Hitachi dealer.

Air fi Iter (Fig. 10)

The air fi Iter 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.

HiKOKI CH22EAP2(50ST) - Air fi Iter (Fig. 10) - 1

natural_image Technical illustration of a mechanical assembly showing internal components and a close-up view (no text or symbols)

Fig. 10

Cleaning the air fi Iter

Remove the cleaner cover and the fi Iter. Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that the fi Iter is dry before reassembly. An air fi Iter that has been used for some

time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced by a new one. A damaged fi Iter must always be replaced.

NOTE

Saturate the element in 2-cycle oil or the equivalent. Squeeze the element to distribute the oil completely and to remove any excess oil.

Spark plug (Fig. 11)

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

○ An incorrect carburetor setting.
○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline).
○ A dirty air fi iter.
○ 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. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.024" (0.6 mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

HiKOKI CH22EAP2(50ST) - Spark plug (Fig. 11) - 1

text_image 0.024" (0.6 mm)

Fig. 11

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 the same type of spark plug for replacement.

Cutting blade (Fig. 12)

The blades are installed to the blade guide with the four, fi ve or six bolts. Those bolts are tightened with a clearance so that the blades can move smoothly.

HiKOKI CH22EAP2(50ST) - Cutting blade (Fig. 12) - 1

natural_image Illustration of hands using a tool to adjust or install a mechanical component (no text or symbols visible)

Fig. 12

When clearance is too small

The blades do not move properly and the sliding surfaces may seize.

When clearance is too large

The blades are poor in sharpness.

To adjust the blade clearance

  1. Loosen the blade fixing nuts.
  2. Fully tighten the blade fi xing bolts and then loosen them approx. 5/8 turn.
  3. With the bolts set at that position, tighten the blade fi xing nuts.

Be sure to replace blade guide fi xing bolts when they are loosened, worn or damaged. Also be sure to replace damaged cutter blade.

Lubricating the blade (Fig. 13)

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Use the inspections in the table below if the tool does not operate normally. If this does not remedy the problem, consult your dealer or the Hitachi Authorized Service Center.

Symptom Possiblecause Remedy
Tool Does not operate. Foreign matteris lodged in the blade.When there is foreign matter in the blade, use a pair of tongs or similar tool to remove it.Take great care since the tool may start operating when the foreign matter has been removed.Sap or rust may also prevent the blade from operating. Use a wire brush or similar tool to remove sap or rust.
The tool does not trim well.The blade stopped because it was used to cut a branch whose width exceeded the blade's cutting capacity.NOTEWork that will repeatedly cause the blade to stop will eventually damage the tool.
An oblique cut may also exceed the capacity of the tool since the length of the cut increases. Be sure to trim thick branches
