Note

Do not use the choke (M , Fig.15. Fig.16) Page 5 when starting

a hot engine. When the engine is idling, the bit should not turn.

Warning!

If the bit jams, stop the engine immediately.

Note

When pulling the pull start

a) Do not let the starter grip snap back
b) Do not pull the starter rope out all the way as it might break. (N ,Fig.17)
c) Guide it slowly back into the housing so that the starter rope can
rewind properly.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

a) Bring the throttle to the idle position (J,Fig.14) and run it for 2~3
minutes at a low speed until the engine cools.
b) Switch off the engine (I,Fig.14) by putting it on the “STOP” position.
c) Remove the bit, clean the machine.

Important

Avoid stopping the engine suddenly when it running in

high speed. Doing so could cause damage to the machine.

MAINTENANCE-STORAGE

AIR FILTER-Clean every 25 hours, remove the cover(Q,Fig.19) and the
filter (P Fig.20). The filter should be washed with warm water and dried
before re-installing.
CARBURETOR-Idle screw is adjusted in order to ensure a good safety
margin between idle turning and clutch engagement.

Important

– Weather conditions and altitude may affect carburation.

Warning!

Do not adjust the carburetor.

FUEL FILTER – Check the fuel filter (R,Fig21) periodically. Replace if it
gets too dirty. A dirty filter can cause difficult starting and lower engine
performance.
