1.  Remove the engine cover.

If the engine becomes sluggish and low 

on power, check and clean the spark 

arrester screen.

IMPORTANT!

If you note excessive carbon buildup, 

consult with an authorized servicing 

dealer.

WARNING!

Never operate the unit with a 

damaged or missing muffler or spark 

arrester! Operating with a missing 

or damaged spark arrester is a fire 

hazard and could also damage your 

hearing.

2. 

Remove the muffler.

3.  Remove the spark arrester screen 

and cover.

4.  Clean the screen with a stiff bristle 

brush.

5.  Inspect the cylinder exhaust port for 

any carbon buildup.

6.  Reassemble parts in the reverse 

order.

Cutting performance of your machine 

depends a great deal on proper cutter 

blade adjustment. Properly adjusted 

blades will oscillate freely yet help 

prevent binding of cut material between 

blades. Adjust blades as follows: 
1.  Loosen all blade lock nuts at least 

one full turn.

2.  Tighten each blade shoulder bolt 

firmly, and then loosen the shoulder 

bolts 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

3.  Working from the gearcase end, 

lock each bolt in place by firmly 

tightening its lock nut while 

preventing the shoulder bolt from 

turning.

WARNING!

The cutter blades are 

very sharp! Always wear gloves 

when working around the cutter 

assembly.

CAUTION!

Operating the trimmer with worn or 

improperly adjusted cutters will reduce 

cutter performance and may also 

damage your machine. Never operate 

the machine with damaged or worn 

cutters.

4.  When shoulder bolt adjustment is 

correct, there should be a gap of 

0.25–0.50 mm (0.010 - 0.020 in.) 

between the cutter blades and the 

flat washers, and the flat washer 

beneath each bolt head should turn 

freely.
