Running in the engine
1.During the first ten 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, 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.
Grass cutting
Cut the grass like you are in a corridor about 1.5m wide. Move step by step, moving the machine from left to right and
The line trimmer has a bump feed mechanism which releases line without having to stop the engine. To release additional line lightly tap the cutting line and spool assembly (1) on the ground while operating the unit at high speed.
NOTE. Always keep the trimming line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter.
Each time the head is bumped it releases approximately 2cm of line. The cut off knife (2) on the blade guard will automatically cut off any excess line. For best results tap the head on hard soil or bare ground.
Do not hit stones (even small ones), piles of earth, and small pieces of wood or anything else that could be hidden or poorly visible in the grass. If you hit a large object by accident, or if you block the cutting tool due to overloading or having the cutter jammed with grass, you must stop the engine.
NOTE. All protective devices of the machine as well as protective equipment must be maintained in good operation condition during the period of use.
WARNING. The engine of the petrol line trimmer must be at a complete stop during assembling, repair and cleaning operations that could be necessary.
Petrol line trimmer 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.
Maintenance
Air filter
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency. Increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive particles to pass into the engine. Remove the air filter as often as necessary to maintain a clean condition.
•Remove filter cover (12) by pressing in the sides and lifting it off.
•Light surface dust can readily be removed by tapping
the filter.
•Heavy deposits should be washed out in suitable detergent.
