Assembly

ASSEMBLY

Remove your Brush Cutter & Trimmer from the box

and follow the step-by-step instructions below to

assemble your machine with either a brush cutter

fixing or a nylon trimmer fixing.

Handle bar support shaft

1. Insert the handle bar shaft into the support

bracket (ensure the bottom of the shaft and

bracket are flush.

2. Tigthen the bolts using the 4mm Allen  key

provided (loosely tighten at this stage as you may

need to adjust the angle of the handle bar when

fully assembled).

Handle bar

1. Attach the handle bar assembly from the left side

of the unit (as you would hold it).

2. Insert the two bolts, washers and plastic knobs

through the handle bar shaft and tighten securely

in the correct position.

3. Tighten the bolts securely at the base of the

handle bar shaft.

Wheel assembly

1. Insert the wheel axle from the left hand side so the

hole in the axle is positioned to the right of the

machine.

2. Make sure the wheel axle bolt and axle tube hole

are alligned.

3. Insert the wheel axle support nut and bolt and

tighten securely with the 4mm Allen key and 8mm

spanner.

4. Attach both wheels to the axle (make sure the tyre

tread is facing towards the blade), attach the

washers and then attach the locking wheel nut and

tighten securely with the 13mm spanner.

Plastic shield (Brush Cutter)

1. Carefully tilt the machine backwards so it rests

on its handle. It is recommended you protect the

trigger lever to prevent it from becoming

damaged or broken whilst following the rest of

these assembly steps.

2. Place the plastic shield on the bottom of the

drive shaft directly behind the spring tensioner

bracket.

3. Position two plastic shield bolts and tighten

securely into the plasic shield bracket using the

5mm Allen key.

Cut-off knife

Caution – Always wear protective gloves when

handling sharp objects.
1. Place cut off knife in position facing away from

shield.

2. Using three small screws hand tighten the cut off

knife securely in place.

Your Brush Cutter is now ready for fuel.

FUEL

• Petrol is flammable.

• Always turn off the engine and allow to cool fully before refuelling.

• Mix regular unleaded petrol and a quality 2-stroke motor oil for air-cooled

engines at a 

ratio

of 25:1.

• Do not use 4-stroke oil.  

• Do not mix fuel and oil in the petrol tank of the unit. Always use the mixing

bottle supplied, secure the lid and shake to mix.

• Keep naked flames away from where petrol is stored or handled.

• Do not use petrol/oil mix more than 1 month old.

• Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the

unit at least 3m from the fueling point before starting the engine. 

• Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (i.e. smoking, open flames, or work

that can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured or stored.

Note

Do not use old or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump. 

HOW TO MIX FUEL

IMPORTANT

Pay attention to agitation.

1. Measure out the quantities of petrol and oil to be mixed.

2. Put some of the petrol into a clean, approved fuel container.

3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.

4. Pour In the rest of petrol and agitate again for at least one minute. As some

oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient

agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the

agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing

due to abnormally lean mixture.

FUELING THE UNIT

1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a dustless place.

2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.

3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage around the unit.

WARNING

1. Select bare ground for fueling.

2. Move at least 10ft (3m) away from the fueling point before starting the

engine.

3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure to sufficiently

agitate the mixed petrol in the container.

4. In the case of storing the product for a long period of time, clean the fuel tank

after rendering it empty. Next, activate the engine and empty the carburetor

of the composite fuel.
