Maintenance

■MUFFLER

WARNING

•Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, do not use the hedge-trimmer and have it repaired immediately.

•Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire.

■SPARK ARRESTER

•The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to prevent red hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust outlet. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary with a wire brush. In the State of California it is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code) to equip a spark arrester when a gas powered tool is used in any forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered unimproved land.

■INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT WARNING

•Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs with your bare hands immediately after stopping the engine. The engine can become very hot when in operation, and doing so could result in severe burns.

•When checking the hedge-trimmer to make sure that it is okay before using it, check the area around the muffler and remove any wood chips or leaves which have attached themselves to the hedge- trimmer. Note that failing to do so could cause the muffler to become

overheated, and that this in turn could cause the hedge-trimmer to catch on fire. Always make sure that the muffler is clean and free of wood chips, leaves, and other waste before use.

•Check the intake air cooling vent and the area around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25 hours of use for blockage, and remove any waste which has attached itself to the hedge-trimmer. Note that it is necessary to remove the plug guard shown below in order to be able to view the upper part of the cylinder.

IMPORTANT

•If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the intake air cooling vent or between the cylinder fins, it may cause the engine to overheat, and that in turn may cause mechanical failure on the part of the hedge-trimmer.
