Fuel and Lubrication
Fuelling
Use fresh unleaded fuel mixed with 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil (40:1) for best results. Use mixing ratios in Section Fuel Mixing Table below.
WARNING. Never use straight fuel in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored for over 30 days.
WARNING. 2-stroke lubricant must be a premium grade oil for 2-stroke air cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. It is recommended NOT to use pre mixed fuels from service stations as these are often for water cooled 2 stroke engines. If insucient lubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine warranty.

Often, when either of the rotating handle (20) positions, i.e 90° to the left or the right is selected, the hedge trimmer will be orientated with the blade (1) in a vertical position. Please note the following tips.
1. Practice a little with the new orientation of the tool. The balance and feel is slightly dierent than in the horizontal position.
2. FILL the fuel tank fully when the tool is positioned with the blades (1) vertical. The fuel pick up tube will not reach the bottom of the tank with these orientations.
3. Ensure the handle lock is fully engaged.
Note. All protective devices of the machine as well as protective
equipment must be maintained in good operating condition during the period of use.
Petrol hedge trimmers 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 hedge trimmer o immediately and have the problem corrected.

Operating Instructions
Trimming Instructions
Before operating your unit, review ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in this manual.
1. WORKING POSITION. Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, ear mus, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming. Hold the hedge trimmer rmly in both hands and turn the hedge trimmer ON. Always hold the hedge trimmer, as shown in the illustrations, with one hand on the rear handle and one hand on the front handle (7). NEVER hold the hedge trimmer by the protective guard (3).
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH. A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is most eective.
A slight downward tilt of the blades (1), in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting. (Fig 5A)
3. LEVEL HEDGES. To obtain level hedges, a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
CAUTION: Do not use the hedge trimmer for cutting stems greater than
24mm. Use the hedge trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and buildings.
4. SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES. Hold the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom and sweep up. (Fig 5B)

Blade Maintenance
WARNING: Ensure the engine is switched o before undertaking all
maintenance work / tasks.
Your hedge trimmer should be stopped and oiled occasionally during use.
1. The cutting blades (1) are made from high quality, hardened steel and with normal usage, they will not require resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence, stones, glass or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blades (1).
There is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not interfere with
the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, stop the engine and use a sharpening stone to remove the nick.
2. If you drop the hedge trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the blades/s (1) is bent, the housing cracked, or handles broken or if you see any other condition that may aect the hedge trimmer’s operation contact an authorised service centre for repairs before using again.
3. Fertilisers and other garden chemicals contain agents greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the hedge trimmer on or adjacent to fertilisers or chemicals.
4. With the unit stopped, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the outside of the hedge trimmer. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the hedge trimmer into a liquid.

Maintenance
Blade Lubrication
6a.
WARNING: Before lubricating, be sure your
hedge trimmer is switched o and blades (1) have come to a complete stop.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the blade before and after each use.
Apply light machine oil along the edge of the blades/s (1) bar (Fig 6A).
Greasing
6b.
The engine requires re-greasing after approximately every 25 hours of operation.
• Apply lithium grease into the gearbox through the grease tting after 25 hours running (Fig 6B) (A).
Air Filter
CAUTION: NEVER operate this unit without the air
lter as dust and dirt will be sucked into the engine and damage it. Accumulated dust in the air lter will reduce engine eciency, increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive particles to pass into the engine. Remove the air lter as often as necessary and maintain a clean condition of the lter and cylinder ns.
To Clean the Air Filter:
1. Loosen knob (A) holding the air lter cover (9) in place, remove cover (B) and lift out the lter (C) (Fig 7).
2. Wash the lter in soap and water.
