GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cutting attachment guard
This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being
thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the
operator from accidental contact with the cutting
attachment.
Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked.
Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is
cracked.
Always use the recommended guard for the cutting
attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.
WARNING! Never use a cutting
!
attachment without an approved guard.
See the chapter on Technical data. If an
incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can
cause serious personal injury.
Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or
deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is
undamaged and securely attached.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can
!
lead to circulatory damage or nerve
damage in people who have impaired
circulation. Contact your doctor if you
experience symptoms of overexposure to
vibration. These symptoms include
numbness, loss of feeling, tingling,
pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes
in skin colour or condition. These
symptoms normally appear in the fingers,
hands or wrists.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibration and make
operation easier.
Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting
attachment increases the level of vibration. See
instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.
The machine´s vibration damping system reduces the
transfer of vibration between the engine unit and the
machine´s shaft unit.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
8 – English
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
!
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Bear in mind that:
!
The exhaust fumes from the engine are
hot and may contain sparks which can
start a fire. Never start the machine
indoors or near combustible material!
Locking nut
A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting
attachment.
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
•Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
•Obtain maximum cutting performance.
•Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to
check the correct way to load the cord and the correct
cord diameter.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our recommendations. Also refer to the instructions on
the blade packaging.
WARNING! Always stop the engine
!
before doing any work on the cutting
attachment. This continues to rotate even
after the throttle has been released.
Ensure that the cutting attachment has
stopped completely and disconnect the
spark plug cap before you start to work
on it.
When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the
direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove
it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting
attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand
thread.)
When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there
is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You
should therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded
by the blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket
spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this. The
arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should
operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening
the nut.
The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn
that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a
resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced
after it has been put on approx. 10 times.
WARNING! Using an incorrect cutting
!
attachment or an incorrectly sharpened
blade increases the risk of blade thrust.
Cutting equipment
Grass blades and grass knifes are intended for cutting
coarse grass.
A trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
English – 9
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General rules
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Keep the teeth of the blade correctly sharpened! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. An
incorrectly sharpened or damaged blade increases the
risk of accidents.
Check the cutting attachment for damage or cracks. A
damaged cutting attachment should always be replaced.
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and
evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will
generate harmful vibration.
•Only use the recommended trimmer heads and
trimmer cords. These have been tested by the
manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is
especially important when a fully automatic trimmer
head is used. Only use the recommended cutting
attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.
•Smaller machines generally require small trimmer
heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing
using a cord the engine must throw out the cord
radially from the trimmer head and overcome the
resistance of the grass being cleared.
•The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of
the same diameter.
•Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is
intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
•To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in
water for a couple of days before use. This will make
the cord tougher so that it lasts longer.
Sharpening grass knifes and grass
blades
•See the cutting attachment packaging for correct
sharpening instructions. Sharpen blades and knifes
using a single-cut flat file.
•Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of
the blade.
WARNING! Always discard a blade that is
!
bent, twisted, cracked, broken or
damaged in any other way. Never attempt
to straighten a twisted blade so that it
can be reused. Only use original blades
of the specified type.

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel safety
Never start the machine:
1 If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or open flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
•When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
•When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
•Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
•The transport guard must always be fitted to the
cutting attachment when the machine is being
transported or in storage.
•Secure the machine during transport.
•In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine,
the spark plug cap must always be removed during
long-term storage, if the machine is not under close
supervision and when performing all service
measures.
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
!
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.
Fuel
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke
engine and must always be run using a mixture of petrol
and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct
mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel,
even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of
the mixture.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are
!
highly inflammable and can cause
serious injury when inhaled or allowed to
come in contact with the skin. For this
reason observe caution when handling
fuel and make sure there is adequate
ventilation.
Petrol
CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least
90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with a
catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always
use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded
petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if
it is available.
Ethanol blended fuel, E10 may be used (max 10%
ethanol blend). Using ethanol blends higher than E10 will
create lean running condition which can cause engine
damage.
•The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you
run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 socalled knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high
engine temperature, which can result in serious
engine damage.
•When working at continuous high revs a higher octane
rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
•For best results and performance use JONSERED
two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for
our air-cooled two-stroke engines.
•Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated
TCW).
•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 converters.
•Mixing ratio
1:50 (2%) with JONSERED two-stroke oil.
1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB
formulated for air-cooled, two-stroke engines.

FUEL HANDLING
Mixing
•Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
•Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to
be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of
petrol.
•Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling
the machine’s fuel tank.
•Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a
time.
•If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
•Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in
the tank can cause operating problems.
•Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the
container before filling the tank.
Fueling
!
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
Mix and pour fuel outdoors, where there
are no sparks or flames.
Do not smoke or place hot objects near
fuel.
Always shut off the engine before
refuelling.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area and source before
starting.
•If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
•Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
English – 15
STARTING AND STOPPING
Check before starting
Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at
the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most
common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp
corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while
sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull
teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.
•Never use the machine without a guard nor with a
defective guard.
•All covers must be correctly fitted and undamaged
before you start the machine.
Starting and stopping
•Check that the support flange is not cracked due to
fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard
the support flange if it is cracked.
Ensure the locking nut has not lost its captive force. The
nut lock should have a locking force of at least 1.5 Nm.
The tightening torque of the locking nut should be 35-50
Nm.
Check that the blade guard is not damaged or cracked.
Replace the blade guard if it is exposed to impact or is
cracked.
WARNING! The complete clutch cover and
!
shaft must be fitted before the machine is
started, otherwise the clutch can come
loose and cause personal injury.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area and source before starting.
Place the machine on a flat surface.
Ensure the cutting attachment cannot
come into contact with any object.
Make sure no unauthorised persons are in
the working area. Otherwise there is a risk
of serious personal injury. The safety
distance is 15 meters.
Starting

WORKING TECHNIQUES
General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes the basic safety precautions for
working with brush cutters and trimmers.
If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain
how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your
dealer or your service workshop.
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your
capability.
You must understand the difference between forestry
clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.
Grass blades or grass knives may only be used when
the J-handle is fitted. Clearing blades must never be
used with the J-handle. Use the harness and attach it to
the suspension ring when using grass blades.
Basic safety rules
1 Look around you:
•To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
•To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects
that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
•CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are
able to call for help in the event of an accident.
2 Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects,
such as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string,
etc. that could be thrown out or become wrapped
around the cutting attachment.
3 Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings
added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling
direction, etc.
4 Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
6 Always hold the machine with both hands. Hold the
machine on the right side of your body.
7 Keep the cutting attachment below waist level.
8 Switch off the engine before moving to another area.
Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting
the equipment any distance.
9 Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
WARNING! Neither the operator of the
!
!
machine nor anyone else may attempt to
remove the cut material while the engine
is running or the cutting equipment is
rotating, as this can result in serious
injury.
Stop the engine and cutting equipment
before you remove material that has
wound around the blade shaft as
otherwise there is a risk of injury. The
bevel gear can get hot during use and
may remain so for a while afterwards. You
could get burnt if you touch it.
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection.
Never lean over the cutting attachment
guard. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be
thrown up into the eyes causing
blindness or serious injury.
Keep unauthorised persons at a
distance. Children, animals, onlookers
and helpers should be kept outside the
safety zone of 15 metres. Stop the
machine immediately if anyone
approaches. Never swing the machine
around without first checking behind you
to make sure no-one is within the safety
zone.
5 Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
Basic working techniques
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on
the engine can lead to serious engine damage.
WARNING! Sometimes branches or
!
!
grass get caught between the guard and
cutting attachment. Always stop the
engine before cleaning.
WARNING! Machines fitted with saw
blades or grass blades can be thrown
violently to the side when the blade
comes into contact with a fixed object.
This is called blade thrust. A blade thrust
can be violent enough to cause the
machine and/or operator to be propelled
in any direction, and possibly lose
control of the machine. Blade thrust can
occur without warning if the machine
snags, stalls or binds. Blade thrust is
more likely to occur in areas where it is
difficult to see the material being cut.
Avoid cutting with the area of the blade
between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock
positions. Because of the speed of
rotation of the blade, blade thrust can
occur if you attempt to cut thick stems
with this area of the blade.
Grass clearing using a grass blade
•Grass blades and grass knifes must not be used on
woody stems.
•A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse
grass.
•The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging
movement, where the movement from right-to-left is
the clearing stroke and the movement from left-toright is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the
blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
•Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It
is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
•Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade
by following these instructions:
1Always work at full throttle.
2Avoid the previously cut material during the return
stroke.
•Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the
machine on the ground before you start to collect the
cut material.
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
Trimming
•Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an
angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let
the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord
into the area to be cut.
•The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up
against walls, fences, trees and borders. However it
can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes,
and damage fence posts.
•Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
Clearing
•The clearing technique removes all unwanted
vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the
ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the
ground around trees, posts, statues and the like.
CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the
cord.
•The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more
often when working against stones, brick, concrete,
metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with
trees and wooden fences.
•When trimming and clearing, you should use less than
full throttle (80%) so that the cord lasts longer and to
reduce the wear on the trimmer head.
•If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass,
the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to
collect, e.g. by raking.
•Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet
apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand
firmly again.
English – 19
WORKING TECHNIQUES
Cutting
•The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to
reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord
parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the
trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the
lawn and damage the tool.
•Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into
contact with the ground during normal cutting.
Constant contact of this type can cause damage and
wear to the trimmer head.
Sweeping
•The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for
quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to
and above the area to be swept and move the tool side
to side.
•When cutting and sweeping you should use full
throttle to obtain the best results.
IMPORTANT!
To avoid unbalance and vibrations in handles trimmer
head cover need to be cleaned every time cord is
refilled. In addition, check other part of the head if
needed to be cleaned.

MAINTENANCE
Carburettor
Your Jonsered product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
exhaust fumes. The engine will be run in after it has used
8-10 tanks of fuel. To ensure that the engine runs at peak
performance and produces as little harmful exhaust
fumes as possible after the running-in period, ask your
dealer/service workshop (which has a rev counter for this
purpose) to adjust your carburettor.
Basic setting
•The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during
testing at the factory. The basic setting is richer than
the optimal setting and should be maintained for the
first few hours the machine is in use. The carburettor
should then be finely adjusted. Fine adjustment
should be carried out by a skilled technician.
CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the
engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be
turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment stops.
Adjustment of the idle speed
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air
filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.
Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if
it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment
screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to
rotate. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting
attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted
when the engine will run smoothly in every position. The
idle speed should also be well below the speed at which
the cutting attachment starts to rotate.
T
Cooling system
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
1
2
The cooling system consists of:
1 Check and clean the cooling air openings.
2 Air intake through the crankcase (inside the tank).
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
•An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
•A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0,65 mm. The
spark plug should be replaced after about a month in
operation or earlier if necessary.
Recommended idle speed: See the Technical data
section.
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be
!
adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops, contact your dealer/service
workshop. Do not use the machine until it
has been correctly adjusted or repaired.
0,65
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/
cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a
suppressor.

MAINTENANCE
Two-piece shaft
(GC2225C)
The drive shaft end in the lower shaft should be lubricated
with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive
shaft ends (splined coupling) on models with two-piece
shafts will seize if they are not lubricated regularly.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
•Carburettor malfunctions
•Starting problems
•Loss of engine power
•Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
•Excessive fuel consumption.
Cleaning the air filter
Close the choke valve by moving the choke control up.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Clean also the inside of the
filter cover by using air or a brush. Ensure that the filter is
dry before refitting it.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must always be replaced. Damaged, very dirty, or fuelsoaked air filter must always be replaced.
Bevel gear
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before using the machine you
should check that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters
full with grease. Use JONSERED special grease.
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
22 – English
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to
be changed except if repairs are carried out.
