INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CUTTING WITH A NYLON HEAD
Always keep a firm grip with both hands during opera on
The machine should be held at a comfortable pos on, with the trigger handle at hip height. Adjust the
harness to suit.
Maintain a firm foo ng in case the machine hits a solid object & kicks back
Cut tall grass from the top down to prevent grass wrapping around the sha housing & strong head, which
may cause overhea ng and damage. If grass becomes entangled, stop the engine completely and remove
the grass.
The line trimmer head rotates in an ANTI-CLOCKWISE direc on. The knife, located on the le side of the guard,
ensures your nylon line is opera ng at the correct length for op
trimming.
NOTE: Nylon line which is too long or the incorrect diameter (Recommended 2.5mm), will cause excess wear
to the engine and clutch components, not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
It is recommended that the head is ed, so the nylon line cu ng circle is moving away from the user and
guard/shield. This will enable debris to be thrown away from the user.
TRIMMING
This is feeding the trimmer carefully into the material you wish to cut. Tilt the head
slowly to direct debris
away from you. If cu ng up to a barrier such as fence, wall or tree, approach from an angle where a ny debris
ricoche ng off the barrier, will fly
away from you. Move the line head slowly un the grass is cut right up the
barrier, but do not jam (over-feed) the line into the barrier
If trimming up to a wire mesh or chain linked fence, be careful to feed only up to the fence. If you go too far,
the line will snap off around the fence.
Trimming can be done to cut through weed stems one at a
e. Place the trimmer line head near the bo om
of the weed, never high up, which could cause the weed to cha and catch the line. Rather than cut the
weed right through, just use the very end of the line to wear through the stem slowly.
SCALPING AND EDGING
Both of these are done with the line head ed at a steep angle.
Scalping is removing top growth leaving the earth
bare.
Edging is trimming the grass back where it has spread over a path or driveway.
During edging and scalping, hold the unit at a steep angle and in a pos on where the debris and any dislodged
dirt and stones will not come back towards you, even if it ricochets off the hard surface.
WARNING
DO NOT trim any area where there maybe strands of fencing wire. Do not cut where you cannot see what the
cu ng tool is cu ng.
FUEL & OIL MIXTURE
Fuel & its vapors are very flammable. Do not use or fuel the machine near a flame, sparks or while smoking.
Allow the engine to cool for more than 2 minutes, before re-fueling. Never fuel the machine with the engine
running. Fuel the engine at least 3 metres away from your work area. Always fuel your machine outdoors.
Use good quality unleaded fuel which contains NO ETHANOL or METHANOL. Use Branded 89 octane or higher
unleaded fuel, known to be of good quality.
Fuel which is older than 30 days old can become stale and cause acid & gum deposits in the fuel system or
essen al carburetor components. This could result in star ng issues which would not be covered by your
manufacturer’s warranty.
To keep fuel fresh, we recommend you use Handy Parts – Sure Start Garden Machinery Fuel Addi ve which is
available in 250ml bo les, for 25 litres of fuel.
Helps makes machines easier to start
Extends shelf life of petrol up to 2 years
Keeps carburetor & engine clean
Reduces emissions & increases fuel economy
Only use 2-stroke air cooled engine oil. DO NOT USE automo ve or marine oil.
It is recommended that you use a Fuel Mixing Bo le, to ensure the correct fuel mixture is used with your
machine. We recommend Handy Parts item HP-120. The fuel mixture should be shaken prior to entering the
machine fuel tank.
Mix only the quan ty you require to complete your specific task.

Unscrew the machine fuel cap slowly and fill the fuel tank with your fuel mixture to a maximum of 80%
capacity. This will allow for fuel tank expansion.
Fasten the fuel cap tly, being careful not to cross-thread. This will also prevent loosening through vibra on
during use.
Wipe away any spillage, with an appropriate material.
If the machine has con nued leaks, the product should not be started. Never use the machine with damaged
igni n cable or spark plug cap, as there is a risk of sparks.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that any stored petrol/oil mixture is clearly marked in a separate appropriate canister for a maximum
of 4-6 weeks.
If the machine is not going to be used for a long period, drain the mixture from the fuel tank, start the engine
and drain the carburetor of any remaining fuel. (See Maintenance for further instru on)
Dispose of any unwanted 2-stroke mixture at an authorised recycling point.
