IMPORTANT
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY THREAD-LOCKING MATERIAL BE USED ON FIXINGS HOLDING
ENGINE TO FRAME AND FRAME TO DECK, OR ANY FIXING COMING INTO CONTACT WITH PLASTIC
PARTS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS THE DRY LOCTITE PATCH APPLIED TO HANDLE TO DECK FIXING BOLTS.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS WEAKENING OF PLASTIC PARTS.
Remember! Blades continue to rotate for a short time after the engine has been turned off!
Changing the cutter height:
1) Stop Machine.
2) Remove Spark Plug
3) Tilt machine on side [see fig 18] with air filter upper most, and support it to avoid it falling over.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT TURN THE MACHINE UPSIDE DOWN
(Also, do not leave the machine like this, return it to level ground as soon as possible)
4) Remove bolt (p5, item 24)
5) HEIGHTS: There are three heights available, using combinations of the spacers - see fig 20.
6) To change the line (3.5mm Flexi Blade): pull out old line, pulling it out towards centre of disk, see fig 21.
The line can be changed with the head fitted to the machine.
7) Insert new line, pushing it in and pulling it through - see fig 21.
Cutting the grass:
Please read the following instructions before using the trimmer.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GRASS IS CLEAR OF STONES, STICKS AND SIMILAR OBJECTS BEFORE MOWING.
We recommend the method of operation as shown in fig. 16 to obtain the maximum cutting performance from your
trimmer. It is better to cut round your lawn from the outside to the inside, rather than straight up and down as you
may have done up till now.
Start at the outside border of the lawn and go round the borders in a clockwise direction, working towards the
centre. Always control the trimmer with two hands and keep it flat on the grass.
Do not PULL the trimmer to cut grass. It should always be pushed.
It is normally recommended never to cut more than one third of the length of the grass at one time.
Never allow the trimmer to struggle continuously in difficult conditions. This will only occur in long tough grass with
the blade set too low.
When cutting long tough grass, always have the blade at its highest setting, using a gentle ‘pecking’ motion and not
forcing the trimmer through the grass.
If used on undulating ground set the blade at a height so that it does not ‘scalp’ the lawn.
If cutting wet grass for a prolonged period ensure that there is not a build up of grass on the underside of the deck.
If the build up becomes too great, SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP ROTATING,
disconnect the spark plug lead, then tip the trimmer on it’s side, keeping the carburettor uppermost, and scrape
away the damp grass.
As a general practice, try to avoid using the trimmer in these conditions, as it can be detrimental to the condition of
your lawn.
The Handles
The handles on your trimmer automatically lock when placed upright; this is a “stationary” or “parking” position.
The handles must be released from this position when starting the engine.
To release from any limit position, depress the footstop.
STARTING, STOPPING and
CHANGING THE CUTTING HEIGHT CUTTING THE GRASS
PLEASE REMEMBER:
WHEN TILTING THIS UNIT, HAVE THE CARBURETTOR UPPERMOST, OTHERWISE OIL WILL DRAIN FROM
THE BREATHER PIPE. THIS WILL MAKE RE-STARTING DIFFICULT, AND LOSS OF OIL WILL DAMAGE THE
ENGINE.
Before starting the
engine, read the
manufacturer’s
instructions carefully,
paying particular
attention to levels of oil
in the crankcase, and
ensure there is sufficient
fuel in the tank.
