MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug lead and move it away from spark
plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt,
dust, lubricant, grease.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleum-
based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here. For
other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorised service
dealer.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT, MUFFLER AND SPARK
ARRESTOR
NOTE:
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount
of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust
port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor screen may become blocked
with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol
powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to restore
performance. We highly recommend that only qualified service
technicians perform this service.
The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 50 hours
or yearly to ensure proper performance of your product. Spark
arrestors may be in different locations depending on the model
purchased. Please contact your nearest service dealer for the
location of the spark arrestor for your model.
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 8.
If the cutting attachment turns at idle, the idle speed screw needs
adjusting on the engine. Turn the idle speed screw counter
clockwise 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.
WARNING:
The cutting attachment should never turn at idle. Turn
the idle speed screw counter clockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the cutting attachment, or contact a
service dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until
the repair is made. Serious personal injury may result
from the cutting attachment turning at idle.
CLEANING AIR FILTER SCREEN

up until it latches securely in place.
FUEL CAP
WARNING:
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced
immediately.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable 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.
