Take care of your machine and clean it regularly to ensure that it remains perfectly
efficient and has a long lifetime.
Clean the machine with a soft brush or cloth.
Do not spray or wet the machine with water.
Do not use inflammable substances, detergents or solvents as these may damage the
machine beyond repair. The plastic parts can easily be damaged by chemical agents.
Lubrication and greasing:
- After every use it is advisable to add a few drops of oil to the blades and make them
move for a few seconds so that the oil is distributed.
- Periodically (about every 20 hours of work) refill the gearbox with grease through the
greasing holes (Fig.F no.1), using the pistol that can be bought in specialist shops.
Air filter (Fig.G)
Check the air filter every 20 hours. Clean frequently. If necessary, replace.
In case of use in dusty areas clean more regularly.
Procedure:
1. Remove the air filter cover (Fig.G no.1).
2 Remove the filter element (Fig.G, no.2).
3 Wash it with soap and water and rinse completely.
4 Leave to dry.
5 Put the filter back in place and close the cover.
Spark plug (Fig.A no.21)
Check every 20 hours of operation, replace if necessary.
For the spark plug type, check the technical information.
Procedure:
1. Remove the pipette and unscrew the spark plug with the correct spanner.
2. Check the spark plug and in case of carbon residue remove with a metal brush. Re-
place the spark plug if the electrode is excessively worn or the insulation is damaged.
3. Measure the distance between the electrodes: it should be between 0.6 and 0.7
mm (Fig.A).
4. Return the spark plug to its place by hand.
5. Secure a used spark plug with around ¼ turn of the spanner, and a new one with
around ½ turn of the spanner.
