• Check the engine switch to be on “RUN” position.
• PRIME - press the primer bulb 10 times slowly.
• SET the choke lever to the “START” position.
• Left hand SQUEEZING the throttle trigger.
• Right hand PULL the starter rope with a quick rm and
consistent upward motion until the engine res or starts and
runs.
Note: If diculties with starting are experienced (this may occur in
colder conditions) refer to troubleshooting section in this manual.

OPERATING THE TRIMMER
Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and the left
hand on the front handle. Keep a rm grip with both hands while in
operation. Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with
the rear handle about hip height.
Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from
the top down. This will prevent grass from wrapping around the
shaft housing and bump head which may cause damage from
overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the bump head,
stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and
remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will
result in oil dripping from the silencer.
Maintenance
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories
and attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury, poor
performance and may void your warranty.
• You may make adjustments and repairs described here. For
other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorised
service agent.
• Consequences of improper maintenance may include excess
carbon deposits resulting in loss of performance and discharge
of black oily residue dripping from the muer.
• Make sure all guards, straps, deectors and handles are
properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of personal
injury.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of
oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port
and muer may become blocked with carbon deposits. If you
notice a power loss with your petrol powered tool, a qualied
service technician will need to remove these deposits to restore
performance.
SPARK ARRESTOR
This machine is tted with a spark arrestor to help prevent res. The
spark arrestor is tted at the muer discharging port. To ensure
proper performance of your product, tile spark arrestor must be
cleaned or replaced every 25 hours or each year. Please contact
your nearest service dealer for a new spark arrestor. To nd your

CLEANING AIR FILTER
A dirty air lter will cause starting diculty, loss of performance, and
shorten the life span of the engine. Check the air lter monthly. For
best performance, replace the air lter at least once a year.
• Loosen the air lter cover by turning the xing knob counter
clockwise.

Installing the lter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
• Reinstall the airbox cover and tighten the xing knob to
secure.
FUEL TANK
WARNING
A leaking fuel cap is a re hazard and must be replaced immediately.
The fuel cap contains a sealing gasket and a check valve to
ventilate built up fuel gasses. A clogged check valve will cause
poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel
cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty. Replace fuel cap if
required.
The fuel supplied to the engine is passed through a ller to remove
any contaminants from entering the engine.
Contaminants in the fuel can cause poor performance and damage
to the engine.
The fuel lter is a non-serviceable item and if needed should be
replaced by an AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
