SETUP & PREPARATION

 ASSEMBLY

Securing the Handles

The upper handle and lower handle need to be secured in place before the unit can be used.

1. Place the lower handle frame onto the engine frame. Ensure that the holes in the bars of both frames are in alignment. Using two of the handle lock knob and bolt sets, fix both frames together. The knobs should be positioned on the inside of the frame. Tighten them securely.
2. Attach the upper handle to the lower handle frame with the remaining two handle lock knobs and bolts.
3. Use the cable ties (supplied) to fasten the cable container to the lower handle and upper handle frame.

Securing the Mudguard

1. Place the plate over the metal threads on the rear of the blade guard followed by the rubber mudguard.
2.  Secure in place with supplied washer and nut.

FUEL

WARNING!: PETROL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. AVOID SMOKING OR CAUSING ANY SPARKS OR FLAMES NEAR FUEL. MAKE SURE THAT YOU STOP THE  ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE REFUELLING THE PETROL EDGER. SELECT AN OPEN OUTDOOR AREA FOR FUELLING AND MOVE AT  LEAST 3M AWAY FROM THE FUELING POINT BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
Engine fuel: mix at 40:1 only

NOTE: Only use oil that is expressly labeled for use with air-cooled 2-stroke engines.

NOTE: Always transport and store fuels in an approved container (the supplied bottle is for mixing only).

1. Fill with unleaded petrol (91 octanes) up to the fuel line.
2. Add 2-stroke oil up to oil line. Shake sufficiently for a thorough mix.
3. Fill the fuel tank to about 80% of its capacity with the fuel mix. Fuel tank capacity: 650ml
4. Fasten the fuel tank cap and clean any spillage.

WARNING!: NEVER ATTEMPT TO FUEL THE EDGER IF THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE DAMAGED OR ARE LEAKING.
WARNING!: ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL BEFORE FUELLING. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REFUEL THE
ENGINE WHILE IT IS WARM OR STILL RUNNING.
WARNING!: NEVER PLACE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL CLOSE TO THE ENGINE MUFFLER.

ADJUSTING CUTTING DEPTH

The edger has a height adjustment lever to easily adjust the cutting height.
There are 5 settings ranging between -20 to 30mm.

1. To decrease the cutting height pull the height adjustment lever out and move it up a notch, towards the handlebar.
2. To increase the cutting height pull the height adjustment lever out and move it down a notch, towards the front of the unit. NOTE: If you are unsure of which cutting height to use, begin with a high setting and complete a trial cut on a small section of the edge of the lawn.
   Readjust if necessary.

OPERATION

STARTING & STOPPING

Starting
NOTE: Do not squeeze the throttle before starting.

1. Press the On/Off switch on the handle to the On (I) position.

2. Press the primer bulb until full of fuel

3. Push the choke lever up to the Choke position.
   NOTE: Pressing the primer bulb and set the choke to the start position is unnecessary if the engine is warm. Cold Start position

4. Pull the recoil starter until the engine starts.

5. Push the choke lever down to the run position. Restart if the engine stops. Warm Start position

6. Tilt the unit backward, so that the blade is clear of the ground.

7. Release the safety then squeeze the throttle gently. Allow the engine to run for 60 seconds so that it warms up.

Stopping

1.  When you wish to stop the engine, first release the throttle so that the engine is idling and the blade stops spinning.
2. Press the On/Off switch to the  (O) Off position, as indicated on the switch.

WARNING!: THE LAWN EDGER RUNS FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER IT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF. LET THE ENGINE COME TO A COMPLETE  STANDSTILL BEFORE SETTING THE TOOL DOWN.

EDGING

WARNING!: BEFORE EDGING, CHECK THAT THE AREA IS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTACLES AND OBJECTS THAT COULD BE THROWN.
NOTE: If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progressively until the desired depth is reached. Do not overload, keep the initial cutting depth at a minimum. If the  edger slows, pull back slightly and wait until the blade returns to normal speed.
With the cutting height adjusted and the engine operating, edging can commence.

1. While the engine is idling, line up the lawn edger cutting blade with the edge to be cut. Use the arrow label on the blade guard to assist in guiding you where the cutting blade will cut.

2. Before beginning to the edge, tilt the handle down so the blade is above ground level. This assists in the prevention of kickback.

3. When starting to edge, release the safety and pull the throttle lever. Run the engine at full throttle and lower the blade gently into the ground. Be careful not to hit the concrete with the blade.

4. Walk forward slowly, keeping the cutting blade aligned with the edge to be cut. If the lawn edger begins to slow down due to a build-up of grass in the blade guard, walk back slightly to allow the grass to fall out. Let the cutting blade return to normal speed before continuing forward.
   NOTE: Some sparks may be generated from the cutting blade while pressed against a solid edge (eg; concrete) to be cut, simply align the blade so no contact is made.
   NOTE: If the blade guard becomes clogged, tilt the handle down so the blade is above ground level. This assists in clearing the debris from the blade and guard. If the debris does not fall out, stop the engine, wait for the blade to stop rotating, and remove debris from the blade guard.

5.  Continue on until you have successfully edged all sides of your driveway and footpaths etc.

6. Release the throttle lever.  Press the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position and let the engine comes to a complete stop. 

WARNING!: THE ENGINE HOUSING MAY BECOME VERY HOT DURING USE. AVOID CONTACT DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPERATION.

CHANGING THE CUTTING BLADE

WARNING!: BEFORE CLEANING YOUR PETROL EDGER OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE ENGINE IS  OFF AND IS COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING

1. Lay the petrol edger on its side with the cutting blade facing up.
   NOTE: The cutting blade rotates in the anti-clockwise direction.

2. Hold the spindle in place with a supplied hex key. Use the supplied spanner to remove the flange nut, by turning in an anti-clockwise direction.

3. Remove the flange nut and blade.
   NOTE : Ensure that the inner flange and outer flange nut are clean of any dirt or grass prior to fitting.

4. Fit the new blade over the inner flange.

5. Fit the flange nut and tighten firmly using the open spanner supplied, in a clockwise direction. Use a 8mm hex key to stop the spindle from rotating. 

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PETROL EDGERS

Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and
design:

• Contact with the blade.

• Kickback of the edger due to hidden solid objects.

• Blade fracture.

• Catapulting of blade pieces.

• Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.

• Do not use blades that are deformed or cracked.

• Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes, leaking gas or explosive dust.

• Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases, smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.

• Protect your tool. This edger is NOT WEATHERPROOF and should not be exposed to direct sunlight, high ambient temperature and damp, wet or high humidity conditions.

• Do not smoke while refueling. This is potentially dangerous as it may ignite the fuel and cause an explosion.

• Take care not to spill fuel. When refueling the edger ensure that the motor has been switched off. Prevent the spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor.
  Never refuel whilst the engine running.

• Be careful where you store the edger. Store the edger in a dry area away from flammable liquids.

• Keep your distance. The edger emits exhaust fumes. Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.

• Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part engine grade oil. If not, the engine will overheat and cause damage to your edger.

• Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

• When making any adjustments to the tool always wait for the blade to come to a complete stop and turn off the tool.

• Never attempt to unclog the blade chamber by tapping the tool on the ground, this can damage the unit.

• Keep hands clear of edge guide and blade when cleaning as these wear to a very sharp point during edging.

• Before landscaping or trenching, inspect and ensure there are no exposed or buried cables or pipes or other objects that may create a hazard or interfere with operating the edger.

• Set depth to only that required for the job, do not overload. If tool slows, pull back slightly and wait until blade returns to normal speed.

• Check damaged parts before further use of the appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform it’s intended function.
