Engine Fuel
WARNING: The hedge trimmer is fitted with a
two-stroke engine; use fuel mixed with oil only.
Only fuel the machine in well-lit areas. Avoid fuel
spillage. Never refuel the machine during operation.
WARNING: Do not refill fuel while engine is
running or hot. Let the engine cool down for about
two minutes before refueling. Refueling must not
be carried out near flames, control lamps or spark
producing electrical equipment such as electric
tools, welders or sanders.
Use quality two-stroke oil and make a mixture of 40 parts
petrol to one part oil only (2,5% oil mixed in fuel).
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardise
function and decrease the life time of catalytic converter.
Use at least 90 octane fuel. Unleaded petrol recomended as it
leaves less residues inside the motor and on the ignition plug,
and prolongs the life cycle of the exhaust system. Never use old
or dirty petrol or oil/petrol mixtures.
Avoid contamination with dirt or water in the tank.
1. Make sure the machine is turned off, by turn the engine
switch to the “off” position.
2. Check the fuel level visually by removing the fuel cap and
verifying the fuel level.
3. Shake the fuel container well to ensure the correct mixture
before filling the tank.
4. Fill with unleaded fuel mixed with oil from an approved fuel
container into the fuel tank, because of fuel expands, fill
the tank to the neck of tank only.
5. Turn the fuel cap clockwise to close the fuel tank.
Make sure fuel is not leaking from the rear outlet tube.
Occasionally ignition knocking or clanging can be heard with
high loads. This is normal and no cause for alarm. If ignition
knocking or clanging occurs during normal loads and with
constant motor speed you should change the petrol quality. If
this does not solve the problem contact an authorized specialist
dealer.
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating
is recommended.
Check the hand guard
The hand guard prevents hands from coming into contact with
the moving blades, for example, if the operator loses grip on the
front handle.
CAUTION: Check that the hand guard is fitted
correctly. Check that the hand guard is undamaged.
Check the Blade
To ensure good cutting results it is important that the
contact pressure between the blades is correct. The contact
pressure is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside
of the bar clockwise.
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between
the blades should be 0,6 mm, measured at the screws.
Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.
Check the cutting edges and reform with flat and round file.
1. Keep the end corner sharp. The best cutting angle should
be 45º.
2. Round the root of the edge.
3. Do not use water during grinding.

English
• In case of misfire
• In case of high vibration
• When flames or smoke appear
• In rain or stormy weather
WARNING: Always check that the cutting
attachment is stopped when the engine is idling.
Cutting
During cutting, do not run the engine at just above clutch
engagement speed. Any prolonged use at low speed may
cause premature wear of the clutch.
Do not run the engine at maximum speed after cutting.
Any prolonged use at the highest speed is likely to reduce
lifetime of engine.
• Adjust the throttle setting to suit the load.
• When trimming a hedge the engine should always face
away from the hedge.
• Make sure that the blades do not touch the ground.
• Work steadily, do not rush while using the trimmer.
CAUTION! In an emergency, stop the engine by
moving the engine switch to the STOP position.
In the event of an accident or breakdown, stop
working immediately and contact an authorized
service center.
CAUTION! Trim from sides of hedge first, and
then to the top. Cut slowly, especially thicker brush.
CAUTION! If anything jams in the blades while
you are working, switch off the engine and wait
until it has stopped completely before clearing
the blades.
CAUTION! To avoid possible risk, always remove
the spark plug cover before cleaning.
Vertical cut
Use arcing cuts from the bottom upwards, then downwards
using both sides of the blades.
horizontal cut
To get the best cutting results, slightly tilt the blade (5-10°)
in the direction you are cutting.
Check the Blade Guard
The blade guard (A) is intended to protect against any part
of the body coming into contact with the blades (B).
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or distorted.
Replace the blade guard if it is bent or damaged.
Check the Air Cleaner
Check the air filter to be sure it is clean and in good
condition.
Loosen the air cleaner cover screw, and remove the air
cleaner cover, then check the main air filter. Clean or replace
the air filter if necessary.
OPERATION
Starting the engine
WARNING: The cutting attachement may start
to move when the engine is started. Make sure
the attachment can not come into contact with any
object.
CAUTION: Make sure that no unauthorized
persons are in the working area, otherwise there
is a risk of serious personal injury.
1. Press the intake pump several times until fuel begins to fill
the bulb.
2. Turn the engine switch to the” ON “position.
3. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to
the START position. In order to restart a warm
engine, leave the choke lever in the run position.
4. Close the choke: Start position.
5. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel it engage and
then pull it quickly.
6. Return the recoil starter gently and slowly to the original
position by hand.
7. Turn the choke lever to the run positon as the
engine begins to start.
note: when the engine is started for the very first
time. It may require a number of attempts to start until the
fuel has travelled from the tank to the motor.
Under the following conditions the machine must be
stopped:
• When the motor rotary speed changes
• When sparks occur
• When blade are damaged

Kickback and Related Warnings
A kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating blade. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating blades which in turn causes the tool to move
suddenly in the opposite direction of the blades rotation at
the point of binding.
The blade may either jump toward or away from the
operator, depending on direction of the blade’s movement
at the point of pinching
Kickbacks are the result of misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions.
a. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
b. Do not position your body in the area where the tool
will move if a kickback occurs.
c. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
and avoid snagging.
Adjusting the Handle
To reduce fatigue when trimming hedges, the rear handle
can be swiveled to 3 positions, center, left 90°, and right 90°.
WARNING! Do not press the throttle trigger while
adjusting the handle position.
1. Push down the handle locking knob and then turn the
rear handle until the handle locking knob clicks into
place.
2. When the rear handle is locked in its new position, the
user can start working again.
Stopping the engine
1. Reduce the engine speed and let it run with no load for
a few minutes.
2. Switch off the engine by moving the engine switch to
the stop position.
The trimmer may still cause damage or injury after the
engine has been shut off. Check carefully that the accessory
has stopped turning before putting the unit down.
Working advice
• Make sure you always have good balance and secure
footing. Take special care in slippery conditions: damp,
snow, ice, on slopes or uneven ground.
• Watch the cutting blades at all times: do not cut areas
that you cannot see.
• Clear fallen branches, scrub and cuttings. Be extremely
careful when cutting tall hedges, check the other side of
the hedge before starting work.
• The gearbox becomes hot during operation. To reduce
the risk of burn injury, do not touch the gear housing.
• To reduce the risk of accidents, take frequent breaks to
avoid tiredness.
• Never use this machine in the event of nausea,
headache, visual disturbances (e.g. reduced field of
vision), problems with hearing, dizziness, deterioration
in ability to concentrate. These symptoms may be
exaggerated or caused by a high concentration of
exhaust gases in the work area.
MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical and
trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
The purpose of the maintenance and adjustment schedule
is to keep the machine in the best operating condition.
• Turn off the engine before performing any maintenance.
• If the engine must be run, make sure the area is well
ventilated. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas
• Please always select approved replacement parts and
accessories. Low quality parts may damage the unit.
• Never remove safety devices.
