HEDGE TRIMMER
BRUSHCUTTER
releasing the handle can cause the cutting blade or nylon trimmer to
kick, possibly resulting in injury.
•
Before starting the engine, put on the harness correctly,
attach the brushcutter to the harness, and stand in the correct
brushcutter holding stance.
•
Ensure the cutting blade is 100 mm to 300 mm above the
ground before releasing both hands from the handle.
•
Ensure the nylon trimmer is 0 mm to 300 mm above the
ground before releasing both hands from the handle.
•
See “Adjusting the holding position” for details.
NOTICE
After installing a new cutting attachment, confirm the correct holding
position and make any necessary adjustments.
Adjusting the holding position
•
To adjust the holding position, simply change the length of the
harness belt and the location of the suspension point.
•
Use the following procedure to adjust the suspension point.
CAUTION
•
To find the optimal brushcutter holding position, change the
location of the suspension point gradually (in increments of 5
to 10 mm). Moving the suspension point too far in one step
can cause you to lose your balance when checking the new
brushcutter holding position, possibly leading to tripping and
injury.
•
Always fully tighten the screw & washer assembly (G) (M6 × 12)
before checking the brushcutter holding position. Otherwise,
the brushcutter can change position suddenly while you are
checking the brushcutter holding position, causing you to lose
balance and possibly leading to tripping and injury.
1. Loosen the screw & washer assembly (G) (M6 × 12).
2. Adjust the location of suspension point (F).
3. Fully tighten the screw & washer assembly (G) (M6 × 12).
Quick-release mechanism
WARNING
•
In an emergency, release the throttle trigger and shut off the
engine. Support the machine with your left hand and operate
the quick-release mechanism. Be aware that the machine will
fall and that a rotating blade or nylon trimmer can cause death
or severe injury.
•
Be careful not to accidentally operate the red belt (H) on the
harness. Be aware that the machine will fall and that a rotating
blade or nylon trimmer can cause death or severe injury.
In an emergency, pull upward on the red belt (H) on the harness.
This quickly releases the machine from the harness.
NOTICE
Before using the machine, check that the quick release mechanism
is functioning.
Inspection and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
After every use, check that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened and tighten if necessary.
Fuel Filter
Every 15 hours of operation, using a wire hook, take the fuel filter
from the fuel tank Fig 36 and clean or replace with a new fuel filter.
Spark Plug
•
Poor starting or misfiring is often caused by a fouled or
defective spark plug, clean and reset the gap to 0.65 mm, or
replace the spark plug with NGK: BPMR7A as necessary Fig
37.
Air Filter
•
Before using the multi-tool, check the air filter Fig 39. Being
clogged will reduce the engine performance.
•
Remove the air filter cover by undoing the cover screw Fig 38,
clean the filter element in warm, soapy water, dry completely
before installing. If the element is broken or shrunk, replace
with a new one.
Carburettor
•
The carburettor mixture setting has been set at the factory and
will not need adjusting.
•
Adjusting the idle speed Fig 40. If adjustment is necessary turn
the T screw clock wise until the blades start to move, then turn
the screw T anticlockwise until the blades stop.
WARNING
If the idle speed cannot be adjusted to stop the cutting head
moving at idle, contact your
dealer for repair before use.
