Instructions Fitting and adjusting the secondary handle pre-packed position WARNING. Before each use, ensure the secondary handle cannot swivel by checking the two handle clamp screws are tight and the handle is firm. 1. The line trimmer has been pre-packed with the secondary handle facing in the opposite direction to where it must sit during use.
Instructions Mixing the fuel MOTOR FUEL: MIX AT 40:1 ONLY For example: For 1 litre of unleaded petrol add 25ml of oil. For 5 Litres of unleaded petrol add 125ml of oil. IMPORTANT. Use good quality air cooled 2-stroke engine oil. This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires pre-mixing fuel with 2-stroke oil.
Instructions Filling the tank WARNING. Always shut off the engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 9 m (30 ft.) away from the refuelling site before starting engine. Do not smoke when refuelling or operating the line trimmer.
Instructions Starting the line trimmer Choke control Start position (choke closed). Run position (choke open). 1. Press the ignition switch (7) to the ‘on’ position marked with an “I”. 2. Move the red choke lever (14) upwards to the start position (cold start). Note.
Instructions 7. Once the engine is fully warm ensure the choke (red lever) is down fully to the run position (warm start) and pull the throttle trigger and release. This will release the throttle lock. 8. To increase the speed of the cutting line, squeeze the safety lever (13) first, and then squeeze the throttle trigger.
Instructions Running in the engine 1. During the first 2–3 hours of work, run the engine at a moderate RPM. 2. We advise you in any case not to maintain your engine at a high speed as the different components must settle with each other during the process of running in the engine.
Instructions Note. If grass becomes wrapped around the spool, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass. Note. Prolonged cutting not at full throttle may result in oil dripping from the muffler. Feeding the line WARNING. The engine of the petrol line trimmer must be at a complete stop during assembling, repair and cleaning operations that could be necessary.
Instructions Advancing the line manually 1. Push the bump knob in while pulling on both lines to manually advance the line. 2. Release the bump knob and again pull on both lines to advance the line further. 3. If the line still does not advance remove the spool and check the lay of the line. It may be twisted or trapped under over laying line.
Instructions 9. With the spring fitted onto the shaft of the spool holder insert the spool back into the holder. As you insert the spool, thread the lines through the eyelets and pull firmly to disengage from the notch in the spool. Note.
