understand and follow this instruction manual to assure familiarity with the handling of the brush cutter. Users insufficiently informed will risk danger to themselves as well as others due to improper handling.

– It is recommended only to loan the brush cutter to people who

have proven to be experienced with brush cutters.

Always hand over the instruction manual. – Use brush cutters with the utmost care and attention. – First-time users should ask the dealer for basic instructions to

familiarize oneself with the handling of an engine powered

cutter. – Children and young persons aged under 18 years must not be

allowed to operate the brush cutter. Persons over the age of

16 years may however use the tool for the purpose of being

trained only while under the direct supervision of a qualified

trainer. – Use brush cutters with the utmost care and attention. – Operate the brush cutter only if you are in good physical

condition. Perform all work conscientiously and carefully. The

user has to accept responsibility for others. – Never use the brush cutter while under the influence of alcohol

or drugs. – Do not use the unit when you are tired. – Save these instructions for future referral.

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

jewelry, clothing or long hair which could become entangled

with bushes or shrubs. – In order to avoid head-, eye-, hand- or foot injuries as well as to

protect your hearing the following protective equipment and

protective clothing must be used during operation of the brush

cutter. – Always wear a helmet when working in the forest. The

protective helmet (1) is to be checed at regular intervals for

damage and is to be replaced at least every 5 years. Use only

approved protective helmets. – The visor (2) of the helmet (or approved goggles) protects the

face from flying sticks, stones or other object. During operation

of the brush cutter always wear goggles, or a visor to prevent

eye injuries. – Wear adequate noise protection equipment to avoid hearing

impairment (ear muffs (3), ear plugs etc.), especially during

extended work periods. – The work overalls (4) protect against flying stones and

splinters.

We strongly recommend that the user wear work overalls. – Special gloves (5) made of thick leather are part of the pre-

scribed equipment and must always be worn during operation

of the brush cutter. – When using the brush cutter, always wear sturdy shoes (6)

with a non-slip sole. This protects against injuries and ensures

good footing.

Starting up the brush cutter

– Please make sure that there are no children or other people

within a working range of 50 ft. or 15 meters, also pay attention

to any animals in the working vicinity. – Before operating, always check that the brush cutter is

safe for operation:

Check the security of the cutter blade. Be sure the blade

mounting nut is firmly secured. The throttle lever should be

checked for smooth and easy action. Check for proper

functioning of the throttle lever lock. The cutter blade must not

rotate during idling.

Consult idle adjustment instructions on page 16. Check for

clean and dry handles and test the function of the STOP switch.

Keep handles free of oil and fuel. – Before operation, check and follow local; regulations concern-

ing sound level and hours of operations. – Only start the brush cutter positioned on the ground. – Do not start it on the back.

Start the brush cutter only in accordance with the instructions.

Do not use any other methods for starting the engine!

– Use the brush cutter and the tools supplied only for applications

specified.

– Start the brush cutter engine only after the entire tool has been

assembled. Operation of the tool is permitted only after all the appropriate accessories are attached!

– Before starting, make sure that the cutter blade will not contact

any objects such as branches, stones, etc.

– The engine is to be stopped immediately if there are any engine

problems.

– Should the cutter blade hit stones or any other objects immedi-

ately stop the engine and inspect the cutter blade.

– Inspect the cutter blade at frequent regular intervals for damage

(detect hairline cracks by means of a tapping-noise test).

– A familiar ringing sound should be heard. – Operate the brush cutter only with the shoulder strap attached.

It should be properly adjusted before putting the brush cutter into operation. It is essential to adjust the shoulder strap to the user’s size to prevent fatigue occurring during use or loss of control of the tool. Never hold the tool with one hand during use.

– During operation always hold the brush cutter with both hands.

Always ensure a safe, well-balanced footing.

– Operate the brush cutter in such a manner as to avoid inhalation

of the exhaust gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (risk of suffocation and gas poisoning). Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas. Always ensure there is adequate ventilation.

– Stop the engine when resting and when leaving the brush

cutter unattended. Place it in a sale location to prevent danger to others, setting fire to combustible materials, or damage to the machine.

– Never lay down the hot brush cutter onto dry grass or onto any

combustible materials.

– The cutter blade must be used with its appropriate guard.

Never run the tool without this guard!

– All protective parts and guards supplied with the machine must

be used during operation.

– Never operate the engine with a faulty exhaust muffler. – Stop the engine during transport. – During transport over long distances the tool protection included

with the equipment must always be used.

– Put the brush cutter in upright position and fix it during care or

truck transportation to avoid damage.

– When transporting the brush cutter, ensure that the fuel tank is

completely empty, to avoid fuel leakage.

Refuelling

– To reduce the risk of fire and bum injury, handle fuel with care it

is highly flammable, Stop the engine during refuelling, keep well away from open flame and do not smoke.

– Avoid skin contact with petroleum products. Do not inhale fuel

vapor. Always wear protective gloves during refuelling. Change and clean protective clothing at regular intervals.

– Take care not to spill either fuel or oil. Always wipe unit dry

before starting engine. Allow wet cloths to dry before disposing in proper, covered container to prevent spontaneous combustion.

– Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing

immediately if fuel has spilled on it (danger hazard).

– Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that stays

securely fastened.

– Carefully tighten the locking screw of the fuel tank. Change

locations to start the engine (at least 10ft. or 3 meters away from the place of refueling).

– Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at

ground level (risk of explosions).

– Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make

sure stored fuel is not accessible to children.

– Do not attempt to refuel a hot or a running engine. – When mixing gasoline with two-stroke engine oil, use only

gasoline which contains no ethanol or methanol (types of alcohol). This will help to prevent damage to fuel lines and other engine parts.

3m (10FT)

Method of operation

– Use the brush cutter only in good light and visibility. During cold

seasons beware of slippery or wet areas, ice and snow (risk

of slipping). Always ensure a safe footing. – Do not overreach. Keep proper footing, balance and hand

control of the unit at all times.

– Never cut above waist level. – Never stand on a ladder while running the brush cutter. – never climb up into trees to perform any cutting operation with

the brush cutter.

– Never work on unstable surfaces or steep terrain. – Remove all objects such as stones, nails, broken glass, wire,

etc. found within the working ares.

Foreign articles may damage the cutting tool, can cause

dangerous kickbacks, or could be thrown about dangerously. – Before commencing cutting the cutting tool must have reached

full working speed. – Never operate this tool while it is turned upside-down or when

it is at an extreme angle.

– !WARNING! — The cutter area is still dangerous while the

machine is coasting to a stop.

Kickback

– When operating the brush cutter, uncontrolled kickback can

occur. – This particularly is the case when attempting to cut within a

blade segment between 12 and 2 o’clock as viewed from the

operator’s position. – Never touch this segment of the brush cutter to solid objects,

such as bushes, stumps, trees, etc., with a diameter greater

than 3 cm. – The brush cutter will then be deflected at great force and speed

with the potential risk of serious injuries.

– Never operate the brush cutter using the blade seg-

ment between the 12 and 2 o’clock position.

Kickback prevention

To avoid kickbacks, observe the following:

– Operation within the blade segment between 12 and 2 o’clock

can cause serious potential hazards, especially when using

metal cutting blades.

Use of this brush cutter utilizing blade segment positions from

11 to 12 o’clock and 2 to 5 o’clock can still cause a likely

potential for some kickback. – Cutting operations attempted within the blade segments

between 11 and 12 o’clock, and between 2 and 5 o’clock,

should only be performed by trained and experienced opera-

tors, and only at their own risk. Smooth and easy cutting with

almost no kickback is possible using the blade segment be-

tween 8 and 11 o’clock.

Caution: Kickback

Cutting Tools

Use only the correct cutting tool for the specific job in hand.

Cutter blade (Star Blade (4 teeth), Eddy Blade (8 teeth)):

For cutting thick materials, such as weeds, high grass, bushes, shrubs, underwood, thicket, etc. (max. 2 cm dia. thickness). Perform this cutting work by swinging the brush cutter evenly in half-circles from right to left (similar to using a scythe).

Maintenance instructions

– The condition of the cutter, in particular of the cutter blade,

guard and of the shoulder strap must be checked before

commencing work. Particular attention is to be paid to the

cutting blades which must be correctly sharpened. – Turn off the engine and remove spark plug connectors when

replacing or sharpening cutting blade, and also when cleaning

the cutter or cutting tool.

Never straighten or weld damaged cutting blades.

– Be kind to the environment. Operate the brush cutter with as

little noise and pollution as possible. In particular check the

correct adjustment of the carburetor.

– Clean the brush cutter at regular intervals and check that all

screws and nuts are securely tightened.

– Never service or store the brush cutter in the vicinity of open

flames, sparks, etc.

– Always store the brush cutter in a well-ventilated locked room

and with an emptied fuel tank.

Observe and follow all relevant accident prevention instructions issued by the trade associations and by insurance companies. Do not perform any modifications to the brush cutter as this will risk your safety.

BEFORE START OF OPERATION

Inspection and Refill of Engine Oil

– Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down. – While keeping the engine level, remove the oil gauge, and confirm that the oil is filled within the upper and lower limit marks.

When the oil is in short in such a way that the oil gauge touches the oil only by its tip, in particular with the oil gauge remaining inserted in the crankcase without screwing-in (Fig. 1), refill new oil near the port (Fig. 2).

– For reference, the oil refill time is about 15 h (refill frequency: 15 times). – If the oil changes in color or mixes with dirt, replace it with new one. (For the interval and method of replacement, refer to P. 1 7)

Recommended oil: SAE 10W-30 oil of API Classification, Class SF or higher (4-stroke engine for automobile) Oil volume: Approx. 0.1 L

Note: If the engine is not kept upright, oil may go into around the engine, and may be refilled excessively. If the oil is filled above the limit, the oil may be contaminated or may catch fire with white.

Point 1 in Replacement of Oil "Oil Gauge"

– Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil gauge. – Keep the detached oil gauge free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil gauge may cause irregular oil

circulation or wear on the engine parts, which will result in troubles.

– As an example to keep the oil gauge clean, it is recommended to insert the oil gauge on its knob side into the engine cover, as shown in

Fig.3.

Upper limit of oil level (Lower part of oil refill port

threaded part) If oil adheres around this tip refill new oil.

Fig.1

(1) Keep the engine level, and detach the oil gauge.

(2) Fill oil up to the edge of the oil refill port. (Refer to Fig.2 of the preceding

page). Feed oil with the lubricant refill container.

Fig.2

Oil gauge

Fig.3

(3) Securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening may cause oil leakage.

Point 2 in Replacement of Oil: “If oil spills out”

– If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will contaminate

the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation.

REFUELING

Handling of Fuel

It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the skin becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still irritated, consult your doctor.

Storage Period of Fuel

Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade. If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.

STORAGE OF MACHINE AND REFILL TANK

– Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine. – Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.

Fuel

The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).

Points for Fuel

– Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical troubles. – Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.

Refueling

WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Gasoline Usedl: Automobile gasoline (unleaded gasoline)

– Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric

pressure.

– Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that

the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to the oil refill port.)

– Wipe well the periphery of the tank cap to prevent foreign matter from

entering into the fuel tank.

– After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.

• If there is any flaw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.

• The tank cap is consumable, and therefore should be renewed every two to

three years.

– Check the functioning of the I-O switch, the lock-off lever, the control lever, and the look button.

REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE OIL

Deteriorated engine oil will shorten the life of the sliding and rotating parts to a great extent. Be sure to check the period and quantity of replacement.

ATTENTION: In general, the engine main unit and engine oil still remain hot just after the engine is stopped. In replacement of oil,

Note: If the oil filled above the limit, it may be contaminated or may catch fire with white smoke.

Interval of replacement: Initially, every 20 operating hours, and subsequently every 50 operating hours Recommended oil: SAE10W-30 oil of API Classification SF Class or higher (4-stroke engine oil for automobile)

In replacement, perform the following procedure.

1) Confirm that the tank cap is tightened securely.

2) Detach the oil gauge. Keep the oil gauge free from dust or dirt.

confirm that the engine main unit and engine oil are sufficiently cooled down. Otherwise, there may remain a risk of scald.

Fuel tank cap

3) Place waste or paper near the oil refill port.

4) Detach the oil gauge, and drain oil, tilting the main unit toward the oil refill

port

Drain oil in a container.

Waste or paper

5) Keep the engine level, and feed new oil up to the edge of the oil refill port. In refill, use a lubricant refill container.

6) After refill, securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufficient tightening of the oil gauge will lead to oil leakage.

POINTS ON OIL

– Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the

relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.

– Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every 6

months).

CLEANING OF AIR CLEANER

DANGER: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours)

– Turn the choke lever to the full close side, and keep the carburetor off

from dust or dirt.

– Remove the air cleaner cover-fixing bolts. – Pull the cover lower side and detach the air cleaner cover.

– If oil adheres to the element (sponge), squeeze it firmly.

– For heavy contamination:

1) Remove the element (sponge), immerse it in warm water or in waterdiluted neutral detergent, and dry it completely.

2) Clean the element (felt) with gasoline, and dry it completely.

– Before attaching the element, be sure to dry it completely. Insufficient

drying of the element may lead to difficult startup.

– Wipe out with waste cloth, oil adhering around the air cleaner cover and

plate breather.

– Immediately after cleaning is finished, attach the cleaner cover and

tighten it with fixing bolts. (In remounting, first place the upper claw, and then the lower claw.)

Points in Handling Air Cleaner Element

CLEANING OF FUEL FILTER

WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Monthly (every 50 operating hours)

Suction head in the fuel tank

– The fuel filler (1) of the suction head is used to filler the fuel required by the

carburetor.

– A periodical visual inspection of the fuel filter is to be conducted. For that

purpose open the tank cap, use a wire hook and pull out the suction head through the tank opening. Filters found to have hardened, been polluted or clogged up are to be replaced.

– Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum speed being

exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the fuel filter at least quarterly to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.

REPLACEMENT OF FUEL PIPE

CAUTION: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours) Replacement: Annually (every 200 operating hours)

Replace the fuel pipe every year, regardless of operating frequency. Fuel leakage may lead to fire. If any leakage is detected during inspection, replace the oil pipe immediately.

INSPECTION OF BOLTS, NUTS AND SCREWS

– Retighten loose bolts, nuts, etc. – Check for fuel and oil leakage. – Replace damaged parts with new ones for safety operation.
