The engine body, including the blades, is suspended on the handlebar using four rubber bushings.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Muffler

The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.

For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.

Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!

WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.

WARNING! Bear in mind that: The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

Blade and blade guard

The outer part of the blades (1) are shaped as blade guards. The blade guard is intended to protect against any part of the body coming into contact with the blades.

Carbon Monoxide

DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE IS A COLOURLESS, ODOURLESS GAS. INHALING THIS GAS CAN CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS LONG-TERM HEALTH PROBLEMS SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE.

Never operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous Carbon Monoxide fumes can develop. All ignition operations have to be effected in an open or well-ventilated area. Always remember that exhaust fumes are toxic.

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include but are not limited to the following; Headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapsing or loss of consciousness.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to flu, food poisoning, viral infections and simply tiredness. It is quite common for people to mistake this very dangerous poisoning for something else.

To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning DO NOT use Petrol/Diesel powered equipment inside any of the following; Home, garage, tent, camper van, mobile home, caravan or boat. DO NOT use in an enclosed area or moving vehicle. This is not exhaustive and if you are in any doubt contact your dealer.

If you think you have or someone around you has been affected by carbon monoxide poisoning; Get them fresh air immediately, by leaving the affected area or by opening doors and windows. If safe and practical to do so make sure that the machine is turned off. DO NOT enter a room you suspect of having carbon monoxide present – instead call the emergency services.

Contact a Doctor immediately or go to Hospital – let them know that you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning.

Fuel safety

Never start the machine:

1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

• Allow the hedge trimmer to cool down after use before putting it away for storage.
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/ switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.
• The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage.
• Secure the machine during transport.

WARNING! Take care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inflammable and can cause serious injury when inhaled or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this reason observe caution when handling fuel and make sure there is adequate ventilation.

Petrol

CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least 90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.

Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is available.

• The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.
• When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended.

Two-stroke oil

• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines.
• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
• A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardise function and decrease the life time of catalytic converters.

Mixing

• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
- Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.
- Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine's fuel tank.

• Do not mix more than one month's supply of fuel at a time.
• If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.
• Fuel/Oil ratio is 40:1
• Use semi-synthetic 2-stroke oil.

WARNING! The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot during and after use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard, especially when working near flammable substances and/or vapours.

Fueling

WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:

Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.

Always shut off the engine before refuelling.

Refuel in a well ventilated area. Never fuel the machine indoors.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area and source before starting.

• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
- Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems.
- Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.

Check before starting

• Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out.
• Check the cutting attachment. Never use blades that are dull, cracked or damaged.
• Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight.
• Make sure the gear housing is lubricated correctly.
• Check that the cutting attachment always stops when the engine is idling.
• Only use the machine for the purpose it was intended for.
• Make sure that the handle and safety features are in good working order. Never use a machine that lacks a part or has been modified outside its specifications.
• All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged before you start the machine.

Starting and stopping

WARNING! The complete gear housing must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch may loosen and cause personal injury.

Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling position before starting. Place the machine on a firm surface. Remember that the blades may start to move when the engine is started. Make sure the blades cannot come into contact with any object. Make sure that no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury.

WORKING TECHNIQUES

- If anything jams in the blades while you are working, switch off the engine and wait until it has stopped completely before cleaning the blades. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

Safety instructions after completing work

- The transport guard should always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is not in use.

- Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

• Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. This is extremely sharp and can easily cause cuts.

- Store the machine out of reach of children.

- Use only original spare parts for repairs.

Basic working techniques

• Work with a swinging action from the bottom upwards when trimming sides.

- Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.

- When trimming a hedge the engine should always face away from the hedge.

- Do not try to cut anything that is too thick for the blade.

- Do not try to cut hedges which are above your normal reach. You must hold the trimmer with both hands at all times while operating.

- Hold the machine as close to your body as possible to get the best balance.

- While working the handle should always be facing upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is directed.

MAINTENANCE

Before proceeding to adjust or repair the machine, be sure to stop the engine and detach the spark plug.

After the engine has stopped, the muffler is still hot.

Muffler

CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.

The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.

CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

The cooling system consists of:

1 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
2 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
3 Air intake through the crankcase (inside the tank).

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

• Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).
• A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

Air filter

The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:

• Carburettor malfunctions
- Starting problems
- Loss of engine power
- Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
• Excessive fuel consumption.

Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.

Cleaning the air filter

Remove the air filter cover and take out the mesh filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Allow the filter to dry and then oil it in according to the instructions.

An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must always be replaced.

Oiling the air filter

The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the filter. You should therefore avoid skin contact. Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.

Gear

There is a plug for filling lubricant on the gear housing. Use the grease tube to fill with grease and repeat every 25 hours.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical clamp or bracket assembly (no text or symbols)

CAUTION! The gear housing must not be filled completely with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up during operation. If the gear housing was completely filled with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.

Cutting unit

Check that the cutting units' screws are fitted correctly. Tighten them with a tightening torque of 7-10 Nm.

Cleaning and lubrication

Check that the blade edges are not damaged or deformed. File away any burrs.

Check that the blades move freely.

Storage

After the engine has stopped, the muffler is still hot. Never place the machine in any places where there are flammable materials (dry grass, etc), combustible gases or combustible liquids.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition and varying changes in temperature.
• Do not store a machine that has not been given time to fully cool down. Engine must be cooled down fully before storage.
• DO NOT stack other items on top of the machine when in storage.
• DO NOT store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area where the fuel vapours could reach an open flame, a strong heat source or a spark.
• Store the machine in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
  • To reduce fire hazard keep engine and silencer free of debris, leaves, or excessive lubricant;
• Spray the cutting blades with a light oil to prevent rust before storage.
