CUTTING TIPS (Fig. 6)
When cutting make sure the cutter head is at a slight angle
as shown while still approximately parallel to the ground
surface. In tall grass cut from the top down to ensure the
moving parts do not get tangled with the long grass.
Move the head in steady strokes from right to left as you
work through the grass.
ADVANCING THE LINE (Fig. 7)
If the line becomes short, tap the head on the ground
as shown to extend more line. Take care not to ‘crash’ it
against a hard surface.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer's replacement
parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to
do so can cause possible injury, poor perfor-
mance and may void your warranty.
„
You may make adjustments and repairs described
here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by
an authorised service agent.
„
Consequences of improper maintenance may
include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of
performance and discharge of black oily residue
dripping from the silencer.
„
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles
are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of
personal injury.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND
SILENCER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust
port and silencer may become blocked with carbon
deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol
powered tool, a qualified service technician will need to
remove these deposits to restore performance.

FUEL CAP
WARNING
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be
replaced immediately.
The fuel cap contains a non-service able filter and a
check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine
performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap
is loosened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged.
Replace fuel cap if required.
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT (Fig. 9)
This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y or equivalent
spark plug with 0.63 mm electrode gap. Use an exact
replacement and replace annually.
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
If the cutting attachment turns at idle, the idle speed
screw needs adjusting on the engine. Turn the idle speed
screw counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and
stop the cutting attachment movement. If the cutting
attachment still moves at idle speed, contact a service
dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair
is made.
STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER)
„
Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for
fuel. Run engine until it stops.
