Maintenance

Injury warning!
Always wear protective gloves when working on or around cutting tools. Change and clean the spark plug (Fig3) Check the spark plug air gap at least once a year or when the engine starts poorly. The correct gap between ignition flag and ignition contact is 0.6~0.7 mm. Wait until the engine has cooled down completely. Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug, and use the supplied spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug by turning. When the electrode is severely worn out or reveals a strong incrustation, the spark plug must be replaced with an equivalent plug. A strong incrustation of the spark plug can be caused by: Amount of oil is too high in the gasoline mix, poor oil quality, old gasoline mix, or plugged up air filter. Screw the spark plug by hand completely into the thread. (Avoid jamming it) Use the supplied spark plug wrench to tighten the spark plug. When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque is 12-15 Nm. Plug the spark plug socket correctly on the plug.

Clean the air filter
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supplying too little air to the carburetor. Dust and pollen plug up the pores of the filter made of foamed plastic. Regular checks are therefore essential.

• Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element.
• To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace the air filter cover.
• Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse and allow drying naturally.

Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable solvents.
In order not to shorten the service life of the engine, a damaged air filter must be replaced at once.
Warning! Never run the engine without the air filter element installed.

FUEL FILTER
Inside the fuel tank there is a filter which prevents impurities from entering the engine. The filter should be replaced once a year by your Retailer.

Injury warning!
Always wear protective gloves when working on or around cutting tools.

Cleaning

• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
• Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
• If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
• Regularly check the device before starting work.
• Never use water to clean or spray the device. Clean the motor casing with a damp cloth and never use detergents or solvents! This may damage the device‘s plastic parts. Dry the motor casing carefully afterwards.
