CHECKING FOR A SPARK
To find out whether the sparkplug of your strimmer is pro-
ducing a spark, expose and remove the sparkplug as per
the previous page.
Pull the spark plug wire off the plug and remove the spark
plug with the wrench included in your toolkit.
Place the sparkplug back into the spark plug wire.
Hold the boot end of the sparkplug wire with your hand and
place the electrode tip against a metal surface.
Make sure your tool is switched on. Using your other hand
(or with the help of another person) pull the starter cord
quickly. If the ignition is working correctly you should see
blue sparks where the plug is touching the metal surface.
If you don’t see a spark you can contact our customer ser-
vice team
CHECKING THE FUEL TANK FILTER
Check the Tank Filter
If you can’t see fuel in the priming bulb, there’s a good
chance your tank filter is blocking the fuel mix from mov-
ing to the engine.
Open up the fuel tank
Dislodge the fuel filter from the neck of the tank (you
might find this easier if you drain the fuel and remove the
blue lid)
Restart the starting procedure
