Maintenance
WARNING! Make sure the cutting attachment
!has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
The ignition lead should always be removed from the spark plug before repair, cleaning or maintenance work.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:
•Carburettor malfunctions
•Starting problems
•Loss of engine power
•Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
•Excessive fuel consumption.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must always be replaced.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover.
Remove the air filter and check that it is undamaged. Replace with a new air filter if you believe it to be defective.
Clean the filter by knocking the filter against a flat surface. Never use solvent with petroleum, for example, kerosene, or compressed air to clean the filter.
When reassembling, make sure that the filter completely seals against the filter holder.
Spark plug
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
!and remains so for a short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.
0,51 mm
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
