WARNING! NEVER
use the Power Cutter without the Blade Guard in
position over the Cutting Blade.
WARNING! NEVER
start the engine when the Pulley and Clutch are
removed.
Carburetor
The engine on your unit will be broken in after you have run 8-10 tanks of fuel. To ensure
peak performance after the break-in period, have your carburetor checked at an authorized
service center, which has a revolution counter available.
The carburetor governs engine speed via the throttle; air and fuel are mixed in the carburetor.
Your engine's carburetor is equipped with fixed jets to ensure the engine receives the correct
fuel/air mixture. If the engine lacks power or accelerates poorly, inspect and replace the air
filter if necessary. If this does not help, contact an authorized service center.
Final Setting of the Idling Speed
To start the engine first, find the Low Speed Adjusting Screw illustrated in the below. Use a
screw driver to turn the screw clockwise to speed up. Turn the screw counterclockwise to
reduce speed.
A correctly adjusted idle speed setting occurs when the engine run smoothly in every
position. Idling speed should be in a certain range. Recommended idling speed: 2,700 RPM.
WARNING!
The Blade should stop while at idling speed. If the Blade does
not stop at idle speed and cannot be adjusted, do not use the machine until it has
been serviced.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter sits inside the fuel tank. Keep contaminants out of the tank to avoid damaging
the fuel filter. The filter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced if damaged. The filter should
be changed at least once a year.
Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned regularly, removing dust and dirt to avoid:
•
