HSS Hire Hire Shops 44216 Operating & Safety Manual

To do this, turn the adjuster knob clockwise to
increase, anticlockwise to decrease.
Gently increase the engine speed until the blades
are rotating at a speed suitable for the job and
comfortable for you.
Take your time and don't overdo it. You are more
likely to have an accident if you are tired or rushing.
Close Work
Wall
Movable
Guard
In an emergency, and if you have no other option,
release the handlebar and step back. The engine will
automatically cut out.
If it is necessary, the blades can be taken in up to 1/8"
to the edge of a wall without having to finish off by
hand. Loosen the two wing nuts retaining the
movable guard, raise the guard clear and re-tighten.
Final smoothing can be achieved with the blades
fitted, but for the best result, use a disk finisher.
Available for hire from your local HSS Hire Shop.
To fit the disk, set the blade pitch to minimum, then place
the unit centrally over the disk allowing the front edge of
the blade to engage with the lip on the top of the disk. The
disk will be held in place by the movement of the blades.

EQUIPMENT CARE

Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong type of equipment for
the job. Ask at your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Keep the engine upright at all times. If it should be
tipped over, mop up oil and fuel spillages and contact
your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Regularly check the engines fuel level and top up
as required using the correct fuel: lead-free petrol.
Check the engine oil level daily. Let the engine cool,
stand it on level ground, withdraw the dip stick and wipe
clean, replace and withdraw a second time to verify that
the oil level is between Min and Max. Top up as required.

FINISHING OFF

Set the throttle to idle, then switch the engine OFF ,
followed by the fuel tap.
Give the unit a final clean up ready for return to
your local HSS Hire Shop.
