GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SAFETY

To protect the eyes from loose objects that could be thrown from the trimmer, always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when operating the trimmer.
Use only genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts for this product. Failure to do so may cause poor fit, poor function and possible injury.
Scarfs, neckties, jewellery, jackets or other loose clothing and accessories should be avoided as they can be caught on or become entangled in the trimmer. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level. To protect your legs and feet, long pants and closed toed shoes should be worn.
To improve your grip and protect your hands, wear heavy-duty non slip gloves.
The sound level exceeds 85 dB(A). To prevent hearing damage, always wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers).

GENERAL TRIMMER SAFETY

Never operate the trimmer with a damaged guard or without the guard in place. Avoid getting into direct contact with the line.
Always remember to keep both hands on the control handles when the engine is running.
Do not operate the trimmer if there is a fuel leak as it is a fire hazard. The fuel leak must be fixed prior to operating the trimmer.
Empty the fuel tank before storing if the trimmer will not be used for a few days.
Make sure the control handles have not accumulated oil and fuel and are clean and dry.
See Operator’s Manual for additional safety precautions.

WORK AREA

Operate only in well ventilated areas.
Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel. Mix and handle fuel in a container approved for storing gasoline. Wipe the trimmer dry if fuel is spilled on it. Always move away from the fueling area before starting the engine.
Fuel the trimmer at least 10 ft. (3 m) from the place where you start the engine and operate the trimmer.

NOTE: The trimmer head will rotate during carburetor adjustment. Wear protective equipment and observe all safety instructions.

Engine Compression (See Figs. 1-3)

Low compression will cause erratic idling, low power, and hard starting when hot. To test the engine compression:

• Remove the spark plug cover using the provided hex wrench (Fig. 1).

• Remove the spark plug cap. Fully cover the spark plug using the provided socket wrench. Rotate the wrench counter-clockwise to remove the spark plug (Fig. 2).
  

• Rotate a compression gauge into the spark plug hole (Fig. 3).
  Place the choke lever in the RUN position. Engage the throttle safety and throttle trigger together to open the throttle and the choke lever in the on position. Lift the start button cover and press the start button 3-5 times until the gauge needle reaches its peak (stops moving). Engine compression should be >0.6MPa.
  

Ignition System (See Figs. 4-9)

• Remove the upper engine cover by removing the 4 screws with the provided hex wrench and screwdriver (Fig. 4 – 6)
  

• Remove the spark plug cover. Remove the spark plug cap and the spark plug. Check and remove the carbon deposit in the spark plug. The spark plug gap should be 0.65±0.05mm. Inspect the electrodes for wear and deposits (Fig. 7).

• Install the spark plug into the spark plug cap. Contact the negative electrode to the aluminum part (Fig. 8).

• Press the start button to check if the spark plug sparks.

• Check the gap between the rotor and the ignition coil. Make sure the gap is between 0.012 and 0.015 in. (0.30-0.40 mm) as instructed in step 3 of the Ignition Coil Replacement section (Fig. 9).
  

Ignition Coil Replacement (See Figs. 10-11)

• Remove the upper engine cover.

• Remove the spark plug cover and the spark plug cap. Remove the 2 screws. Remove the ignition coil and the washers (Fig. 10 – 11).
  

• Replace with a new ignition coil.

• To adjust the gap between the rotor and the ignition coil, first insert a feeler gauge of 0.014 in. (0.35mm) between the rotor and the ignition coil, then rotate the rotor and align the magnetic pole of the rotor with the ignition coil. Press down the ignition coil flush against the feeler gauge. Tighten the screws to fix the ignition coil. Rotate the rotor counter-clockwise to remove the feeler gauge. Recheck to ensure the gap is 0.012-0.015 in. (0.30-0.40 mm) (Fig. 9).

Clutch Replacement (See Figs. 12-18)

• Remove the 4 screws to remove the transmission yoke (Fig. 12 & 13).
  

• Remove the upper engine cover.

• Unscrew the bolts on the clutch assembly using an impact driver or wrench (Fig. 14).

• Remove the 2 bolts and corrugated washers. Then remove the clutch and flat washers (Fig. 15).
  

• Replace with a new clutch.

• Slide the corrugated washers onto the bolts. Then install the bolts together with the corrugated washers into the clutch, with the side of the clutch marked with the direction of rotation facing upwards (Fig. 16).
  

• Turn the clutch upside down and slide the flat washers onto the bolts. Apply the thread-locking glue for 3-5 screw threads and then re-install the clutch (Fig. 17 & 18).
  

Flywheel (Rotor) Replacement (See Figs. 19-22)

• Remove the clutch.

• Remove the nut using an impact driver (Fig. 19).

• Remove the 2 screws to remove the flywheel cover (Fig. 20).
  

• The flywheel can be removed by a puller (Fig. 21). Choose an appropriate puller to remove the flywheel. Before using the puller, rotate screw rod 1 counter-clockwise till it is 1/4 to 1/2 its length through. Ensure screw rods 2 and 3 are protruded longer than screw rod 1 . Rotate screw rods 2 and 3 clockwise into the corresponding threaded holes as shown in Fig. 21. Make sure screw rods 2 and 3 are level and in same length. Then use a spanner to rotate screw rod 1 clockwise until the flywheel is removed. Rotate screw rods 1 , 2 and 3 counter-clockwise to remove the puller from the flywheel.
  

• Check the woodruff key is in good condition and installed into place. Examine it for signs of damage.
  Check if the rotor magnets meet the requirements. Check that the fins are in good condition.
  Replace with a new flywheel if necessary (Fig. 22).
