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.

OPERATION

WARNING!

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. 

Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all openings. 

Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all 

moving parts have come to a complete stop before removing 

obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

Blower housing may contain shredder blades and other sharp 

edges that can cause serious injuries if touched, even if engine 

is off and blades are not moving. Wear gloves to protect hands 

from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

WARNING!

Operation of this equipment may create sparks that can start 

fires. This unit is equipped with a spark arrestor to prevent 

discharge of hot particles from the engine. Metal cutters can 

also create sparks if the cutter strikes rocks, metal, or other 

hard objects. Contact local fire authorities for laws or 

regulations regarding fire prevention requirements.

Fuel

WARNING!

Alternative fuels are NOT approved for use in the gasoline 

engine. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance 

problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and 

unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to, 

improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also

cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, 

carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline

 

Use the mixture of 92 Octane unleaded gasoline and 

2T FD oil on ratio of 40:1

Two Stroke Mixture Oil 

- A 2-stroke engine oil meeting 

ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD

standards must be used. Engine problems due to inabequate 

lvbrication caused by tailure to use an iso-L-E

GD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345-FD certified oil will void 

the engine warranty.

Handling Fuel

DANGER! 

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, 

storing or handling, or serious personal injury may result.

7. Assemble front pipe 

(E) 

to straight pipe (D) as in step 8. (Fig. 5)

Note:

 

Blower use will eventually loosen pipe connections.

Exclusive positive locking system allows pipes to be

tightened. If loosening occurs, remove two straight pipes

and install according to instructions 8 & 9.

•  Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start 

or operate unit until leakage is repaired.

•  Move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from refueling location before 

starting the engine.

Mixing Instructions

1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required 

amount of gasoline.

2. Add the proper amount of engine oil to gasoline.

3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.

•  Use an approved fuel container.

•  DO NOT smoke near fuel.

•  DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

•  Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel 

caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

•  NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!

•  DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks 

outdoors over bare ground.

•  DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.

•  Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after 

refueling.

NOTICE: 

Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon 

emissions. Some states may require the use of automatic fuel

shut-off containers to reduce fuel spillage.

After use

• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur. 

Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.

Storage

 - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local 

government for the laws affecting your area.

As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. 

Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,

away from sparks and flames.

NOTICE: 

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you 

expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a

fuel stabilizer is added.

NOTICE: 

Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake 

fuel container thoroughly before each use.

Starting Cold Engine (Fig. 6 , 7)

• Recoil starter: Use short pulls - only 1/2- 2/3 of rope length for 

starting. Do not allow the rope to snap back in. Always hold 

the unit firmly.
