General Safety Rules
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, keys, nails, screws, or
other metal objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE LETTER CODES: I =
INSPECT, R = REPLACE, C = CLEAN
IMPORTANT NOTE - Time intervals shown are maximum.
Actual use and your experience will determine
the frequency of required maintenance.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE NOTES:
(1) Low evaporative fuel tanks DO NOT require regular
maintenance to maintain emission integrity.
* Replacement is recommended based on the finding of
damage or wear during inspection.
Air Filter (Fig. 10)
Level 1.
(1) Low evaporative fuel tanks DO NOT require regular
maintenance to maintain emission integrity.
* Replacement is recommended based on the finding of
damage or wear during inspection.
1. CLOSE choke (COLD START [ ] position). This prevents
dirt from entering the carburetor throat when the air filter is
removed. Brush accumulated dirt from air cleaner area.
2. Remove air filter cover. Brush dirt from inside cover.
3. Remove air filter and lightly brush debris from filter. Replace
filter if it is damaged, fuel soaked, very dirty, or the rubber
sealing edges are deformed.
4. If filter can be reused, be certain it:
• Fits tightly in the air filter cavity
• Is installed with the original side out
5. Install air filter cover.
Fuel Filter (Fig. 11)
Level 1.
DANGER!
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing,
storing or handling, or serious personal injury may result.
1. Use a clean rag to remove loose dirt from around fuel cap
and empty fuel tank.
2. Use a hook to pull the fuel line and filter from the tank.
3. Remove the filter from the line and install the new filter.
Spark Plug (Fig. 12)
Level 2.
NOTICE: Use only BM6A spark plug,otherwise severe
engine damage may
1. Remove spark plug and check for fouling, worn and
rounded center electrode.
2. Clean the plug or replace with a new one. DO NOT sand
blast to clean. Remaining sand will damage engine.
3. Adjust spark plug gap by bending outer electrode.
4. Tighten spark plug to 150-170 kgf • cm .
Cooling System (Fig. 13)
Level 2.
NOTICE: To maintain proper engine operating tempera-
tures, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin
area. This flow of air carries combustion heat away from the
engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from
reaching the cylinder.
• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder.
This build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat
from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of
cooling fins is considered “Normal Maintenance.” Any
failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
Cleaning Grill
1. Brush accumulated debris from intake grill between
backpack frame and blower housing.
Cleaning Cylinder Fins (Fig. 14)
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Remove starter
3. Remove engine cover.
4. Clean cylinder fins (A) to allow cooling air to pass freely
5. Assemble components in reverse order.
