Do not use the machine for too long, take breaks.
Always transport the machine with care and make sure to attach the blade protector to the blade. Never transport the machine in rough terrain without emptying the tank.

WARNING
The product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting attachment begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting the throttle into the start position. When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting part nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacle when the engine starts

WARNING
Never start the machine with the throttle lever at max.

WARNING
Always check that the cutting device stops when the throttle is returned to its original position. If it does not stop, consult an authorized repairer. The area within a 15-meter radius must be considered as the danger zone in which no unauthorized persons should reside. If several people are to work in the area at the same time, they must pay close attention to each other and constantly keep sufficient distance to maintain safety. Always check the work area to avoid accidents due to hidden obstacles such as stumps, stones, debris, etc.

The machine may only be used for mowing hedges and small shrubs. Do not use the hedge trimmer to prune trees or mow grass.
It is forbidden to make changes to the machine or use tools and accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Never give more gas than necessary.
Do not exceed the capacity of the machine – it will damage the blades and shorten the life of the machine.
Always keep the body on the side of the carburettor, never on the exhaust.

IMPORTANT
|If a warning label peels off or becomes impossible to read, they must be replaced and affixed in the same location(s).

WARNING

Fuel and oil

WARNING

Petrol is highly flammable. Avoid smoking and keep flames and sparks at bay.
Wipe up spilled fuel before starting the machine.
Stop the engine and allow the machine to cool down beforerefuelling
Keep open flames away from the area where fuel is stored or refilled.

IMPORTANT
A petrol mixture must be used for air-cooled 2-stroke engines. Can be purchased ready-made or you can mix it yourself by following the procedure below:

How to mix the fuel:

Measure out the amounts of gasoline and oil.
Pour some of the petrol into a clean and suitable fuel tank.
Pour in all the oil and stir thoroughly.
Pour in the rest of the petrol and stir thoroughly for at least one minute. Some oils can be difficult to stir in the gasoline. It is very important that the two components are stirred sufficiently, as otherwise the engine may be damaged.
Be sure to mark the contents of the container clearly to avoid making a mistake with the contents.

To ensure the life of your engine, avoid

Fuel without oil (pure petrol) – will very quickly cause serious damage to the internal engine parts.
Oil for use in 4-stroke engines – may cause spark plug fouling, blocking the exhaust port or sticking the piston rings.
Mixed fuel that has been standing for over a month without being shaken / mixed again.

Oily gasoline that has been left unused for at least a month or more can clog the carburettor and result in the engine not working properly. If the hedge trimmer is to be stored for a long period of time, the fuel system must be emptied of petrol.

Refueling:

Unscrew the fuel cap and place it in a dust-free place.
Refuel to 80% of full capacity.
Replace the fuel cap and wipe if necessary. wasted fuel.

WARNING

Place the machine on a level and clear area when refuelling.
Walk at least 3 meters away from the filling point before starting up the equipment.
Always switch off the equipment before refuelling. Make sure that the mixture is sufficiently stirred in the container.
If the machine has been stored for a long time with fuel in the tank, clean the fuel tank after emptying it. Then start the engine to empty the carburettor of fuel.

Use

Start-up

Fill with unleaded petrol mixed with oil. (Mixing ratio 10:1) Always use freshly mixed petrol. Max. storage time 2 months
Press the primer bulb two to three times. (Small transparent rubber ball on the carburettor).

Maintenance and sharpening of blades

Check the blade and the fasteners for looseness, cracking, or bending.
Check the cutting edges and reform with a flat file.
You need not to adjust the gap between upper blade and lower blade as this product is designed to have optimal gap when it is properly set up.

Always keep the file or sharpener at an angle of 45° to the blade, and:

Always grind in the direction of the cutting edge.
Note : files cut only in one direction; lift the file from the blade when returning to start a new pass.
Remove all burr from the edge of the blade with a slip stone.
Remove as little material as possible.
Before refitting the sharpened blades, remove filings and then apply grease.

Do not try to sharpen a damaged blade – change it.

Safety lock check
Stop operation when the safety lock is defective. Safety lock is the device not to accelerate the throttle lever without intention. While pushing the safety lock, you can accelerate the throttle

Check if the throttle lever does not move when you do not push the safety lock.
Check if the throttle lever moves when you grasp or release it while pushing the safety lock.
Check if the safety lock returns to its original position when you release your hand from safety lock.

If you find any defects at the checks above, contact your nearest servicing dealer for repair.

Air filter cleaning
The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine performance. Check and clean the filter element in warm, soapy water as required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is broken, replace with a new one.

Control of fuel filter
When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel cap and the fuel filter for blockage.

Cleaning and adjustment of spark plug

Starting failure and misfiring are often caused by a fouled spark plug. Periodically clean the spark plug and check that the spark gap is in the correct range.
When you take off the spark plug, twist and pull off the cap.

IMPORTANT

Note that using any spark plugs other than those designated may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becoming overheated and damaged.
To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.

TIGHTENING TORQUE: 9.8~11.8 N.m

Lubrication of the gear case
Supply multi-purpose grease at every 25 hours of use.

Use a grease pump.
Feed grease until it comes out of the base of blades(a).

Inspection of muffler

WARNING

Periodically inspect the muffler for loose fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, do not use the brush cutter and have it repaired immediately.
Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire.

the correct fuel

Storage

Aged fuel is one of major causes of engine starting failure. Before storing the unit, empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it uses all the fuel left in the fuel line and the carburetor. Store the unit indoor taking necessary measures for rust prevention.

Clean the equipment.
Oil the blade to prevent rust.
Empty the fuel tank and put the cap back on.
Remove the spark plug, pour a small amount of oil into the cylinder.
Rotate the crankshaft several times using the starting rope to distribute the oil. Put the spark plug back in.
Store the trimmer indoors in a dry place, dust free place, out of the reach of children.

Transport

When carrying the hedge trimmer, put on the protective cover, lift the machine and be careful with the blade. Never transport the equipment in a vehicle over long distances in hard terrain without emptying the tank of petrol that may or may not run out.

Disposal
The equipment must be disposed of in accordance with current local guidelines.
