SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General precautions
To ensure correct operation, the user has to read this instruction manual to make himself familiar with the handling of the brushcutter. Insufficiently informed users will risk danger to themselves as well as others due to improper handling (1).
-It is recommended only to lend the brushcutter to people who have experience with brushcutters. When lending the brushcutter to someone else, give him this Instruction Manual as well.
-First-time users should ask their dealer for basic instructions, or contact a forestry school. To familiarize yourself with the basic handling of gasoline-powered brushcutting, start out with trimming jobs before moving up to sawing.
-Children and persons under 18 years must not be allowed to operate the brushcutter with metal cutting tools (such as saw blades, steel bush cutter, star blades etc.). Exceptions may be made for persons over 16 for training purposes under the supervision of a qualified trainer.
-Always use brushcutters with the utmost care and attention.
-Operate the brushcutter only if you are in good physical condition. Perform all work calmly and carefully. The user must accept liability for others.
-Never use the brushcutter after consumption of alcohol, drugs or medication (2).
Personal protective equipment
-The clothing worn should be functional and appropriate, i.e. it should be tight-fitting but not cause hindrance. Do not wear either jewellery or clothing which could become entangled with bushes or shrubs.
-In order to avoid head-, eye-, handor foot injuries as well as to protect your hearing, the following protective equipment and protective clothing must be used during operation of the brushcutter:
-It is recommended to wear a protective helmet; it is imperative when working in forests. The protective helmet (1) should be checked at regular intervals for damage and must be replaced after 5 years at the latest. Use only approved protective helmets. If you have long hair, always wear a hairnet!
-The face shield (2) of the protective helmut protects against flying sawdust, wood chips or stone chippings. During operation of the brushcutter always wear goggles or a visor to prevent eye injuries.
-Wear adequate noise protection equipment to avoid hearing impairement ( ear muffs (3), ear plugs etc.). Octave brand analysis upon request.
-The forestry safety jacket (4) is equipped with special red coloured shoulder parts. The arms and neck should always be protected by clothing.
-The protective trousers (5) are made from a nylon fabric with 22 layers and protects against cuts. We strongly recommend its use. In any case, it is essential that a long pair of trousers made of tough material be worn during operation of the brushcutter. Do not wear short pants.
-Protective gloves (6) made of thick leather are part of the prescribed equipment and must always be worn during operation of the brushcutter.
-Safety shoes or boots (7) fitted with anti-skid sole, steel toe caps and leg protection must always be used. Safety shoes equipped with a protective layer give protection against cuts and ensure a secure footing. Do not wear sandals or go barefoot.

Handling fuels / Refuelling
-Stop the engine before refuelling.
-Keep away from open flame or sparks and do not smoke while refuelling or mixing fuel (5).
-Let the engine cool down before refuelling.
-Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear protective gloves when refuelling
(5). Frequently clean and change protective clothes. Do not breathe in fuel vapors. Inhalation of fuel vapours can be hazardous to your health.
-Before refuelling the brushcutter make sure it is in a stabile position.
-Do not spill fuel or oil. When you have spilt fuel or oil immediately clean the brushcutter. Fuel should not come in contact with clothes. If your clothes come in contact with fuel, change them at once.
-Ensure that no fuel ooze into the soil (environmental protection). Use an appropriate base.
-Refuelling is not allowed in closed rooms. Fuel vapors will accumulate near the floor (explosion hazard).
-Carefully tighten the locking screw of the fuel tank and inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals.
-Change the place before starting the engine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the place of refuelling (6).
-Fuel cannot be stored for an unlimited period of time. Buy only as much as will be consumed in the near future.
-Use only approved and marked containers for the transport and storage of fuel. Ensure children have no access to fuel.
Putting into operation
-Do not work alone. Another person must be nearby in case of emergencies (within shouting distance).
-Children and other persons must remain more than 50 feet (15 meters) from the working area. Keep an eye out for animals as well (7).
-Before use always check that the brushcutter is safe for operation:
Make sure the cutting tool is securely installed. The throttle must automatically return to the off position when released, and the throttle lever lock must work properly. The cutting tool must not turn during idling. The handles should be clean and dry. The on/off switch must function properly. The guard must be undamaged and securely installed in the correct position. Otherwise you are in danger of injury!
-Start the brushcutter only in accordance with the instructions. Do not use any other methods for starting the engine (8)!
-Use this brushcutter and its cutting tools only for the uses they are intended for as specified in the documentation.
-Never use, for example, wire or wire-rope which can break off and become a dangerous projectile. Use only flexible, non-metallic line recommended in this manual.
-Start the brushcutter only after complete assembly and inspection. Operation of the device is only permitted after all the appropriate accessories are attached!
-The cutting tool must be equipped with its appropriate guard. Never run the cutter without this guard!
-The cutting tool must not turn during idling. If necessary adjust the idling speed.

-Before starting, make sure that the cutting tool has no contact with hard objects such as branches, stones etc.
-The engine must be switched off immediately if there are any noticeable changes in the behaviour of the equipment.
-Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard objects, immediately switch off the engine and inspect the cutting tool.
-Inspect the cutting tool at freqvent intervals for damage (detect hairline cracks by means of tapping - noise test). Hairline cracks can occur in the region of the base of the teeth (9) after long use. Damaged cutting tools and cutting tools with hairline cracks must not be used any longer under any circumstances.
-Operate the brushcutter only with the shoulder strap attached, which is to be suitably adjusted before putting the brushcutter into operation (10). It is essential to adjust the shoulder strap according to the user’s size to prevent fatigue during use. Never hold the cutter with one hand during use.
-When working with the brushcutter always hold it with both hands (10). Keep cutting attachment below waist level. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
-Operate the brushcutter in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of the exhaust gases. Do not start or operate the brushcutter in closed rooms (risk of gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas; breathing exhaust fumes can kill. Work only in well-ventilated places.
-When taking a break or leaving the brushcutter unattended, turn off the engine (11), make sure the cutting attachment has stopped and set the brushcutter down in such a way that there is no risk of injury to yourself or others.
-Never put the hot brushcutter onto dry grass or onto any combustible materials.
-Shut off the engine during transport or when moving on to a new location (11).
-Never operate the engine with a faulty exhaust muffler. If the spark arrestor screen is damaged, replace it immediately. The use of the brushcutter with a damaged spark arrestor can cause bushfires!
Kickback (Blade Thrust)
When operating the brushcutter, uncontrolled kickback may occur.
This particularly the case when cutting in the area between 12 and 2 (12).
Never start a cut in this area when cutting hard objects such as brush, bushes etc.
If you do this, the brushcutter will be thrown to one side at high speed and with great force. High risk of injury! Never start a cut in the area between 12 and 2 (Fig. 12). Kickback prevention (13):
-To avoid kickbacks, observe the following:
-Always watch what you´re doing! Be careful when continuing cuts started previously.
-The cutting tool must be turning at full speed before starting cuts.
-There is a high risk of injury in the area between 12 and 2, especially when using metal cutting blades.
-Cuts in the areas between 11 and 12 and between 2 and 5 should be performed only by trained operators and at their own risk.
-Easy, low-kickback cutting is possible in the area between 8 and 11.

Working behavior / Method of working
-Use the brushcutter only in good light and visibility. During the winter season beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing.
-Never cut above your shoulder height.
-Never stand on a ladder and run the brushcutter.
-Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operations with the brushcutter.
-Never work on unstable surfaces.
-Make sure the cutting area is free of foreign objects such as stones and metal items. Foreign particles can rebound (danger of injury, 14), damage the cutting tool and cause dangerous kickbacks.
-Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached full working speed.
Applications for cutting tools
Employ only the correct cutting tool for the job in hand (15)! Do not use tools for jobs they are not designed for.
2-line -/ 4-line trimmer head:
Exclusively for cutting along walls, fences, grass edges, trees, posts etc. (supplementing the lawn mower).
8-tooth eddy blade, 4-tooth star blade, steel bush cutter:
For cutting thicker materials like weeds, tall grass, bushes, shrubs, mixed growth, thickets, etc. with stems up to 2 cm (3/4") thick. Perform this cutting work by swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from left to right (similar to a scythe) (16).
Chisel type saw blade:
For forestry cleanup work and for harvesting small trees with trunks up to 6" (15 cm) thick (17). Apply even pressure when cutting.
Transport
-When transporting the equipment or moving to another working location, the brushcutter must be switched off in order to avoid unintentionally starting the cutting tool.
-Never carry and transport the brushcutter when the cutting tool is in operation!
-The tool protection included with the equipment must always be used if the brushcutter is transported over longer distances.
-Ensure that the brushcutter is safely secured so that no fuel can run out before transporting it in a vehicle. Empty the fuel tank before transporting the brushcutter.
-Before shipping the brushcutter, completely empty the fuel tank.
Storage
-The brushcutter must be safely stored in a dry room. Use the tool protection for metal cutting tools. Keep the brushcutter out of reach of children.
-If the brushcutter is stored for a long period of time, it should be given a thorough maintenance check and a complete inspection at an authorized DOLMAR service centre.
-If the brushcutter is stored for a long period of time, the fuel tank should be completely emptied and the carburetor run dry. Fuels may only be stored for a limited period of time and could cause deposits to form in the tank or in the carburetor.
-Fuel remains in reserve canisters should be used for other engines or disposed of.
DANGER:
Beware thrown objects!

Maintenance
-Always make sure the brushcutter is in good working order before using it. This includes in particular the cutting tool, guard, harness and fuel system (check for leaks). Particular attention must be paid to the cutting blades, which must be correctly sharpened.
CAUTION: Metal cutting tools must be sharpened only at an authorized service centre!
A tool which has been improperly sharpened can cause unbalance and thus considerable danger of injury. Apart from this, the equipment may be damaged due to vibrations.
-When changing the cutting tool, cleaning the brushcutter and the cutting tool etc., it is essential to switch off the engine and pull the spark plug cap.
-Replace cracked, bent, warped, damaged or dull cutting tools immediately. Never straighten or weld damaged cutting tools.
-Operate the brushcutter with as little noise and pollution as possible. In particular check the correct setting of the carburetor.
-Clean the brushcutter at regular intervals and check that all screws and nuts are well tightened.
-Never service or store the brushcutter near open flames (18)!
-Always store the brushcutter in a locked storage area, with the fuel tank completely empty and the carburetor run dry. Keep the brushcutter out of reach of children.
Observe the accident prevention instructions issued by the relevant trade associations and insurance companies. Do not make any modifications to the brushcutter - you will only be putting your own safety at risk!
The performance of maintenance or repair work by the user is limited to those activities described in this instruction manual. All other work must be done by the DOLMAR customer service (19).
Use only original DOLMAR spares and accessories.
The use of non-DOLMAR spares, accessories, or cutting tools increases the risk of accident. DOLMAR will not accept any liability for accidents or damage caused by the use of non-approved cutting tools and fixing devices of cutting tools, or accessories.
First Aid
A first-aid kit should always be nearby as a precaution in the event of an accident.
Immediately replace any items taken from the first aid kit.
When calling for help, give the following information:
-Place of accident
-What happened
-Number of persons injured
-Nature of injuries

The brushcutter is powered by a high-performance two-stroke engine. The engine runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil.
The engine was designed for regular lead-free gasoline with an octane number of at least 91 ROZ. If this is not available, higher-octane gasoline may be used. This will not damage the engine, but may impair engine performance.
A similar situation will arise from the use of leaded fuel. To obtain optimum engine operation and to protect your health and the environment, only unleaded fuel should be used! Gasoline which contens alcohol should not used in DOLMAR products.
For lubricating the engine use a two-stroke engine oil (quality grade: API-TC), which is added to the fuel. The engine has been designed for use of DOLMAR HP 100 high-performance two-stroke engine oil and a mixture ratio of only 100:1 to protect the environment. In addition, a long service life and reliable operation with a minimum emission of exhaust gases are ensured.
DOLMAR HP 100 high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available in the following sizes:
0.5l part no. 980 008 109
DOLMAR high-performance two-stroke engine oil is available in two different sizes:
1 l |
part no. 980 008 107 |
100 ml |
part no. 980 008 106 |
In case DOLMAR high-performance two-stroke engine oil is not available, it is urgently recommended to use a mixture ratio of 40:1 with other two-stroke engine oils, as otherwise optimum operation of the engine cannot be guaranteed.
Preparation of the correct mixture ratio:
50:1 When using DOLMAR high-performance two-stroke oil, i.e. 50 parts gasoline /1 part oil.
100:1 when using DOLMAR HP 100 high-performance twostroke engine oil, i. e. mix 100 parts gasoline with 1 part oil.
40:1 When using other brands, i.e. 40 parts gasoline / 1 part oil.
Note:
When preparing the fuel mixture, always first mix the entire oil quantity with half of the gasoline, and then add the rest of the gasoline. Shake the mixture well before putting in the fuel tank.
It is not wise to add more oil to the mixture than specified, even if this may seem safer for the engine. More oil only leads to increased combustion residues, which not only pollute the environment, but are also bad for the cylinder exhaust channel, muffler and the spark arrester screen. Furthermore fuel consumption will increase and performance will fall.
AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT!
Utmost care is required when handling fuel. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refuel either in a well ventilated room or outdoors. Do not inhale fuel vapours. Fuel vapours are poisonous and can be hazardous to your health. Avoid eye and skin contact with fuels and mineral oils. Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur. Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.
If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!
Storage of Fuel
Fuels have a limited storage life. Fuel and fuel mixtures age. Therefore fuel and fuel mixtures, which have been stored for too long, can cause starting problems. Purchase only that amount of fuel, which will be consumed over the next few months.
Store fuel safely in a dry place in approved containers only.
Refuelling
STOP
FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.
The engine must be switched off!

Carburetor adjustment
Important information:
The carburetor of this tool is fitted with limiter caps which restrict the range of adjustment and prevents over-rich mixture settings. This ensures providing good engine power and efficient fuel consumption.
Before installing the limiter caps, the manufacturer performs the „Basic Adjustment” procedure.
Maximum power is achieved throughcarburetor adjustment. It requires a warm engine and a clean air filter and should preferably be performed by an expert.
The carburetor comes factory-set for the atmospheric pressure at sea-level. At other elevations and during the run-in phase with a new engine it may be necessary to adjust the carburetor.
A tachometer (order no. 950 233 210) is a must for accurate carburetor adjustment.
Before adjusting the carburetor, install the cutting tool you are going to use and warm up the engine by running it 3-5 minutes.
For a precise adjustment the following steps are to be performed:
1. |
Check adjustment |
STOP |
2. |
Start engine |
|
3. Set idling speed
4.Adjust speed
5.Check idling speed
6.Check acceleration
7.Check max. speed or output
8.Repeat adjustment procedure starting with step 3, until idling speed, max. speed and acceleration are reached with the adjustment made.
L H
A
Adjustment instructions (step 1) STOP
-Before initial operation make sure that the adjusting screws (H and L) have not been set in all the way. Limiter caps do not protect the engine from leaning.
-Turn the two adjusting screws (H and L) counter-clock-
wise as far as they will go.
- Start the engine and let it warm up (step 2).
S
H
B
Set idling speed (step 3)
-If the cutting tool turns when the engine is idling, screw the throttle-valve stop screw (S) until the cutting tool stops turning. The idling speed should be now 2,300-2,500 rpm/ min.
Adjust speed (step 4)
-Set the engine speed to 13,000-13,500 RPM by adjusting the main jet screw (H). Screwing it in makes the fuel/air mixture leaner (less fuel, more air) and increases the engine speed.
Caution:
Engine speeds above 13,500 RPM reduce engine life!
L
C
Check idling speed (step 5)
-Now check the idle speed. It should be 2,300-2,500 RPM (the cutting tool should not turn). If necessary, adjust the idle speed with the idle jet screw (L). Turning it in increases the speed, and turning it out decreases it.
Check acceleration (step 6)
-This is the time it takes for the engine to go from idle speed to maximum speed when you press the throttle hard.
-If acceleration is too slow, turn the idle screw (L) out about 1/8 turn.

Note: The cutting tools below should be sharpened only at a qualified workshop! Manual resharpening will result in an imbalance of the cutting tool, causing vibrations and engine damage.
•Steel bush cutter (D/1)
•Star blade (D/2)
•8-tooth eddy blade (D/3)
Expert sharpening can be obtained from a DOLMAR service station.
Note: To increase the working life the steel bush cutter and the star blade may be turned over once until their second cutting sides are blunt.
After it has been sharpened and resharpened several times the chisel type saw blade must be sharpened and balanced at a qualified workshop.
Caution:
For to safety reasons, never try to straighten or weld a damaged cutting tool!
20o-25o
F 5o
Always maintain a sharpening angle of 20-25 degrees (F).
For this purpose please observe that the markings on the top surface of the file should follow in a parallel direction to the saw blade.
The inclination should be approximately 5 degrees (F).
Chisel type saw blade
When sharpening the chisel type saw blade (E/4) with a round file take care to sharpen all tooth recesses evenly.
The damage of only one tooth requires equal sharpening or refiling of all other teeth.
If teeth have broken off the chisel type saw blade, it has to be replaced.
Uneven sharpening will result in strong vibration due to an imbalance which will cause damage to the cutter as well as generating vibration in the handles.
Use only a special 5.5 mm dia. round file for saw blades with support (part no. 953 009 000) to sharpen the chisel type saw blade. Other round files are not suitable.
When hand-sharpening a mounted saw blade, make sure the brushcutter is properly supported.

File only the tooth face. The file support should rest on the back of the tooth as illustrated above (arrow).
Setting the teeth
A
.040"
B (1mm)
G
Should the saw blade jam during cutting, inspect the tooth setting.
The setting should be .040" (1 mm).
To correct the setting of the saw blade teeth use the saw blade adjusting tool which is available as an accessory (Part no. 953 385 010).
The existing tooth setting of the saw blade must be strictly maintained!
Push down on the adjusting tool as shown (A).

Do not do any maintenance or servicing work not described in this Instruction Manual. All such work may be done only by a DOLMAR service station.
After refuelling the brushcutter 50 times, it should be given a thorough maintenance check and a complete inspection at a DOLMAR service centre.
Daily maintenance
Perfom the following work daily after use:
-Clean the outside of the brushcutter and inspect for damage.
-Clean the air filter (see below). Under dusty working conditions the air filter must be cleaned more often.
-Check the cutting tool for damage and make sure it is tight.
-Check to make sure that there is sufficient difference between the idle and engagement speed so that the cutting tool does not turn when the engine is idling. If necessary, reduce the idle speed (see page 17). If the cutting tool still turns during idling, take the brushcutter to a service center.
-Check the function of the safetylocking button, the short-circuiting switch and of the throttle lever (see page 16).
Cleaning the air filter |
STOP |
-Remove the air filter cover (I/15). Close the choke lever (I/16) to prevent the entry of dust particles into the carburetor.
-Remove the air filter (I/17) and clean it with a soft brush.
Caution:
To prevent eye injuries, do not blow out dirt particles.
-Very dirty filters can be cleaned out using regular dishwashing liquid in lukewarm water.
-In case of strong pollution clean more often (several times a day) because only a clean filter ensures full engine power.
-Before reinstalling the air filter check the choke valve for dirt particles, and if necessary clean it out with a brush.
-Carefully dry the air filter and reinstall it.

Shutting down procedure and storage
The felt filter (N/21) of the suction head is used to filter the fuel taken in by the carburetor.
A periodical visual inspection of the felt filter should be conducted. For this purpose open the tank cap, and use a wire hook to pull out the suction head through the tank opening. If the filter has hardened or is dirty or clogged, replace it (see "Excerpt from the spare-parts list").
Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum speed being exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the felt filter at least every three months to ensure a good fuel supply to the carburetor.
Check if the muffler guard (O/22) is in good condition. A bent, broken or missing muffler guard can cause bush fires especially during dry weather conditions.
Replace a non-functional muffler immediately!
Also check the four clamp rings (O/23) before using the brushcutter. Replace damaged clamp rings immediately! The correct mounting and positioning of the muffler is essential to guarantee protection against a possible fire hazard from the engine exhaust.
The gear box (P/24) is provided with a permanant lubrication and consequently does not need any maintenance.
However, if large quantities of grease are leaking from the gear box, consult a DOLMAR service station.
Servicing and maintenance
We recommend that a comprehensive maintenance and inspection be performed at regular intervals.
Any maintenance or adjustment work not described in this manual may be performed only by a DOLMAR service station.
If you are not planning to use the brushcutter for a period in excess of 6 weeks, it is recommended to observe the following instructions:
•Perform the servicing operations as described on pages 18 to 24.
•Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until the carburetor is dry. Fuels have only a short storage life and can cause sedimentary deposits in the fuel tank or carburetor.
•Remaining fuel in canisters should be used for other engines, or properly disposed of.
•Clean and lightly lubricate metallic cutting tools.
•Store the brushcutter in a dry place only.
•The next time you use the brushcutter, purchase new fuel and prepare the two-stroke mixture as specified.
