5. Pull the recoil starter until you
hear the engine starting or trying
to start. (Under full choke it may
only run for 1 or 2 seconds).
6. Push the choke lever half way
down and allow the motor to
warm up. Restart if the motor
stops.
7. Once the engine is fully warm push the choke down fully
to the run position (warm start) and pull the throttle trigger
and release. This will release the throttle lock.
8. To increase the speed of the cutting line, squeeze the
safety lever (13) first, and then squeeze the throttle
trigger.
To reduce the speed of the cutting line release the
throttle lever.
Note. The cutting spool and line is directly connected to
the motor and will always be rotating when the motor is
operating.
Stopping the line trimmer
WARNING. The spool and line will rotate whenever the
motor is operating.
1. Release the throttle trigger (8)
and allow the engine to idle for
a few moments.
2. Move the ignition switch (6) to
the off position marked STOP.
3. The engine will now stop.
Running in the engine
1. During the first 2–3 hours of work, run the engine at a
moderate RPM.
2. We advise you in any case not to maintain your engine at
a high speed as the different components must settle with
each other during the process of running in the engine.
3. It is at the end of the running in period that the engine will
reach its maximum power.
4. After the first two hours of work, stop and make sure that
all nuts and screws are securely fastened, and tighten
them if necessary.
Use of the petrol line trimmer
This petrol line trimmer is only made to cut grass, small
bushes, and shrubs.
• Always use the shoulder strap (17), when using the tool
to avoid serious personal injury.
• Perform a few accelerations of the motor without reaching
maximum speed and without working to make sure that
everything is in good working order.
• Start the engine only when you are close to the
working area.
• Place yourself in a well balanced position, stable
on both feet.
Operating the line trimmer
IMPORTANT. Petrol line trimmers transmit vibrations to the
operator during use. These vibrations can generate increased
fatigue. For this reason, we recommend taking regular breaks
during work. We also recommend taking a break after a few
hours of work to rest the engine. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs during operation, turn the line trimmer off immediately
and have the problem corrected.
1. Keep a firm grip on the trimmer with both hands while in
operation. The trimmer should be held at a comfortable
position with the rear handle about hip height.
2. Always operate the trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass
from the top down to prevent grass from wrapping around
the spool which may cause the trimmer to overheat.
Note. If grass becomes wrapped around the spool, stop
the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove
the grass.
Note. Prolonged cutting not at full throttle may result in oil
dripping from the muffler.
