Never use ready-mixed gasoline/oil from
service stations that is normally used for
mopeds, motorbikes, etc.
Use a clean and approved petrol can for
mixing the petrol with oil.
Use an approved two-stroke oil for air cooled
engines, chainsaws, trimmers etc. (Do not use
oil for out board engines of cars. (Mix only
small quantities).
We recommend the Texas Motex 2TX 2-stroke
oil in a 2.5% mixture. That means mixing 0.1 l
of 2-stroke oil with 4 l of unleaded gasoline.
Always follow the guidelines of mixture given
by oil manufacturer, however always use
minimum a 2.5% mixture (never 2%). If doubt
about the guideline of mixture from oil
manufacturer, then use a 4% mixture.
Alkyltate gasoline is not recommended, as it is
2% mixture only and can damage the engine.
The warranty will not cover if this happens.
Mix the oil and gasoline thoroughly and shake
the can before filling.
Never use a mix of gasoline and oil that is
more than 90 days old as this may lead to
problems when starting the engine. Never
store the same mixture in the tank for more
than 30 days.
Filling of gasoline
1. Unscrew the gasoline lid. Place it on a clean
surface.
2. Carefully pour the oil mixed fuel into the
tank. Beware of spilling.
3. Screw the lid on tightly. Wipe away any
spilled fuel.
4. It is normal that the engine smokes the first
time it is used.
Notice !
Always turn off the engine before
fuelling. Never add fuel onto a machine that is
running or when the engine is hot. (Cooling time
at least 2 minutes). Move more than 3 meters
away from the place where you add fuel on the
engine before it is started.
Start/Stop
How to start a cold engine Fig 2
1. Place the hedge trimmer on a flat stabile surface.
2. Set the switch to “I” (ON). See pos. 1
3. Press 8-10 times on the fuel pump under the air
filter, see pos. 2
4. Set the choke lever to start position, see pos. 3-A
5. Pull the start cord (pos. 4) out slowly from
engine until resistance is felt. Then pull
strongly in start cord. Always feed the start
cord back into the engine by hand. Repeat up
to 3 times until initial ignition is heard (engine
normally does not start here).
6. Set the choke lever to run position, see pos. 3-B
7. Pull the start cord (according to point 5) until the
engine runs.
How to start a warm engine

2. Pull the start cord until the engine runs.
How to stop the engine
1. Release the throttle button.
2. Set the switch to “STOP” position, see pos. 1
Adjusting the idle speed
First, check that the air filter is clean, as it can affect the
result.
When the idle speed is correct, the cutting blade should
not move, when machine is idling.
If adjustment is required, idle screw (1) can be adjusted.
Direction 2 increased speed, direction 3 lower speed.
See Fig. 8th
Follow below procedure:
1. Close (turn counter clockwise) the idle adjustment
screw, with the engine running, until the cutting
attachment starts to rotate.
If the ildle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutting
blade stops mowing. Contact your dealer/service
center. Do not use the machine until it has been
correctly adjusted or repaired.
Recommendations for trimming
Use only the necessary amount of gas.
Turn the hedge-trimmer 5-10 compared to
the hedge. This makes it easier to cut and the
result is better. Fig 4
Rotation of handle
To give you best and most ergonomic way of trimming
your hedge the handle can be rotated by 90 degrees to
the right or the left
Fig 5-6
Press the handle (1) on top of the handle bar. Then
press down the lock handle (2) while at the same time
turning the handle to the left or right.
Don’t press the throttle when rotating handle
Maintenance
Maintenance before and after use:
Remove any leaves or branches and dirt from
the machine.
Check for any loose or missing parts. Fasten
any loose parts.
Check for any leakage from the fuel system.
A dirty air filter makes it difficult to start
the engine and lessens the performance
of the engine. Check for any dirt in the
filter.
Clean the air filter in warm soap water. It
