Filling the tank
Ŷ
Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent
contamination.
Ŷ
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
Ŷ
Carefully pour fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage.
Ŷ
Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
gasket.
Ŷ
Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe
up any fuel spillage. Move 9 m away from refuelling
site before starting engine.
NOTE:
It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new
engine during and after first use.
WARNING
Always shut off engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to
a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 9
m (30 ft) from refuelling site before starting the engine.
Do not smoke.
OPERATING THE STRING TRIMMER
See
¿
gure 7.
Ŷ
Hold the product with the right hand on the trigger
handle and the left hand on the left handle. Keep a
firm grip with both hands while in operation.
Ŷ
The product should be held at a comfortable position
with the trigger handle about hip height.
Ŷ
Always operate the product at full throttle. Prolonged
cutting at partial throttle will result in lubricant dripping
from the silencer.
Ŷ
Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass from
wrapping around the shaft housing and string head
which may cause damage from overheating.
Ŷ
If grass becomes wrapped around the string head,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
remove the grass.
ADVANCING THE STRING
See
¿
gure 8.
Line tap advance system
Ŷ
Run engine at full throttle.
Ŷ
Tap string head on ground to advance string.
NOTE:
The string advances each time the head is
tapped. Several taps may be required until the string
strikes the cut-off blade.
Ŷ
Resume operation.
NOTE:
If the string is worn too short, you may not be able
to advance the string by tapping it on the ground; if so,
advance the string manually.
ADVANCING THE STRING MANUALLY
Ŷ
Ensure the unit is in the off position.
Ŷ
Push the spool retainer down while pulling on string(s)
to manually advance the string.
CUTTING TIPS
See
¿
gure 9.
Ŷ
Keep the product tilted towards the area being cut.
Refer to Fig. 9 for the best cutting area.
Ŷ
Do not use in dangerous environments.
Ŷ
Use the tip of the string to do the cutting; do not force
the string head into the uncut grass.
Ŷ
Wire and picket fences cause extra string wear, even
breakage. Stone and brick walls, kerbs and wood may
wear string rapidly.
Ŷ
Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood mouldings,
cladding and fence posts can be easily damaged by
the string.
