CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE IDLING SPEED

The cutter blades of the pole hedge trimmer should not move when the throttle lever is released.

- The correct idling speed is 3000 min-1. If necessary, adjust the idling speed using the idling adjustment screw (reduce revs until the cutter blades do not move anymore).

Turn screw clockwise:

Idling speed increases

Turn screw counter-clockwise:

Idling speed decreases.

Allow an adequate difference between the idling rate and the rate at which the clutch engages (reduce idling speed further if necessary). Should the cutter blades still move in spite of accurate idling speed settings, consult your nearest authorized service agent.

The clutch should engage at a minimum rate of 4000 min-1.

Check that the STOP switch, the lock-off lever and the throttle lever are all functioning properly.
