Ignition system The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system completely without moving parts. Conse- quently, a faulty component cannot be repaired, but must be replaced by a new component. The spark in an electronic ignition system has a very short burn time and can therefore be interpreted as weak and can be difficult to see while troubleshooting.

Centrifugal clutch The centrifugal clutch has the task of transferring the power from the engine to the cutting equipment’s drive axle. As the name implies, it works according to a centrifugal principle. This means the clutch’s friction shoes are thrown outwards towards the clutch drum at a certain engine speed. When the friction against the drum is sufficiently great it drives the drive shaft at the same speed as the engine.

Angle gear The angle gear has two purposes: The first is to gear down the engine’s high speed to better suit the lower speed a saw blade or trimmer requires to work efficiently. Secondly, the angle gear contributes towards the operator’s working stance so that it is comfortable and at the same time efficient.

Cylinder block and valve mechanism The cylinder and the piston are two of the components exposed to most strain in the engine. They must withstand, for example, high speeds, large temperature swings and high pressure. Moreover, they must be resistant to wear. Despite these tough working conditions, major piston and cylinder failure is relatively uncommon.

Piston, crankshaft and crankcase The task of the crankshaft is to transform the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotation. This requires a stable design withstanding immense pressure and rotational and bending strain, as well as high rotational speed. In addition the connecting rod is exposed to large acceleration and retardation forces as it moves between the top and bottom dead centres.
Piston, crankshaft and crankcase Non-return valve Non-return valve The non-return valve is a leaf spring There is a spring leaf valve in the valve that controls the oil supply to the bottom of the crankcase that regulates valve mechanism. It is located in the oil discharge to the valve mechanism.
