Notes on starting the engine

1. Take a careful look around to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 15 m or less around brush cutter.
2. Place the body of the brush cutter onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the blades nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacles when the engine starts up.
3. Place the throttle into the idling position when starting the engine.
4. After starting up the engine, if the blades continue to rotate even after the throttle has been moved fully back, turn off the engine and check the throttle wire and other parts.

Kickback safety precautions

A dangerous reaction may occur when the spinning blade contacts a solid object in the critical area.
This is called kickback. As a result, the operator can lose control of the unit, which can cause serious or fatal injury. Avoid kickback, observe the safely precautions below strictly:

1. Before beginning work, clear your working area.

Operation

Starting the engine

Before starting the engine inspect the entire unit for loose fittings or fuel leaks and the cutting attachment is properly installed and securely fastened.

• a Turn the cap to the fuel tank to make sure that it is fixed on tightly F8 .

• b Open the fuel tank cock F9 .
• c Move the choke lever to the closed position F9 .

When restarting immediately after stopping the engine move the choke lever to the open position.

• d Set the throttle lever to the starting position (F10) .

When restarting immediately after stopping the engine move the throttle lever to the idling position.

• e While holding the unit firmly pull out the starter rope quickly F11 .
• f After the engine has started open the choke gradually.
• g Allow the engine to run for 2 to 3 min to warm up.

Stopping the engine

1. Return the throttle lever to the idling position.
2. Push the engine switch button.

Equipping the shawl band (F12)

• a Equip the attached shawl band.
• b Turn on the engine return the throttle lever to the lowest speed position and put the shawl band hook to the hanging part of the machine.
• c Adjust the length of the shawl band so that the blade may be parallel to the ground in the working position. To prevent stack during operation turn up the extra part of the band from the buckle.

Cutting operation

Metal blade usage

• a Always cut by guiding the head from your right to left.
• b A metal blade cut best up to the point ⅓ from the edge. Use that area for cutting shrubs tough and thick weeds. For cutting young grass you can use up to ⅔ from the tip of blade.
• c Adjust the engine speed according to the cutting objects. Cut the young grass at middle speed and cut shrubs or tough and thick weeds at high speed.

Operating at low speed makes it easier for grass weeds or twigs to be caught up in the blades and it makes the shaft and clutch wear down more quickly.

Nylon cutter usage

• Nylon cord consumes large power. Please note that the engine rotation should be in operation.
• Nylon cutter cut grass with the power of cord rotation. If you try to cut grass for the length of cord at one 50 % as large as when using metal blade. time rotation speed becomes lower due to resistance and you cannot cut well. In case of large resistance get the nylon cutter away from grass once make the rotation speed higher and cut a small amount of grass at one time.
• If you try to cut grass by swinging the brush cutter in the reverse way from left to right scraps fly in the direction away from the body, so you can avoid getting your clothes dirty.

Maintenance

Blade

• a After 25 hours of service, sharpen each cutting edge and make sure the bottom corner is rounded.
• b Do not cool the blade with water in case of using grinder. If may cause cracks on blade.

Air filter

Check and clean the filter element in warm soapy water if required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is broken or shrunk replace with a new one.

A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the engine power. If you operate the brush cutter without the air filter or with a deformed filter element will quickly ruin the engine.

Fuel filter

Take the filter out of the fuelling port using a small wire hook. Disconnect the filter assembly from the fuel pipe and unhook the retainer to disassemble it. Clean the components with gasoline.

A clogged fuel fitter may cause poor acceleration of the engine.

Spark plug

• a Remove and inspect the spark plug and clean the electrodes, if necessary, with brush.
• b The spark gap should be adjusted to 0.6–0.7 mm.

Intake air cooling vent

Check the intake air-cooling vent and the area around the cylinder cooling fins and remove any waste which has attached itself to the brush cutter.

Note that failing to do so could cause the muffler to become overheated and that this in turn could cause the brush cutter to catch on fire.

Gear case

• a Supply multi-purpose grease after every 25 hours of use.
• b Remove the cutter holders to arrange for old grease.

Muffler

1. Remove the muffler insert a screwdriver into the vent and wipe away any carbon build-up. Wipe also away any carbon build-up on the muffler exhaust vent.
2. Tighten all screws bolts and fittings.
3. Check to see it any oil or grease has worked its way in between the clutch, lining and drum and if it has, wipe it away. Using oil-free lead-free gasoline.
4. Remove the float cabin of the carburettor and clean the inside.

Adjusting carburettor

A wrong adjustment may cause damage to your unit. If the engine does not run well after adjusting the carburettor, please contact the shop where you purchased the product.

Idle adjustment screw (F17)

• a This is the screw to adjust the engine rotation when the throttle lever is set to the lowest speed position.
• b If you turn right clockwise the rotation increases and left counter-clockwise decreases.
• c In case the blade continues to rotate or engine stops when you return the throttle lever completely to the original position, make a readjustment.

Maintenance before storing

1. Brushing off dirt form the machine check damage or stack of each part if you find out abnormalities, repair them for the next use.
2. Extract fuel from the tank and loose the drain screw of the float cabin to extract fuel, turn on the engine and leave it running until it stops naturally.
3. Remove the spark plug and put in 1–2 cc of 2-cycle oil in the engine. Draw the starter rope 2–
4. times, set the plug back and stop it at the contraction position.
