GENERAL INFORMATION:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety please read the owner’s manual and fully understand its contents before operating the hedge-trimmer.
This two-stroke petrol powered hedge-trimmer is a precision cutting tool. For your own safety and the safety of others, read and be sure you understand all of the safety precautions outlined in the owner’s manual before attempting to operate the hedge trimmer. Retain the manual in a safe place in order to refresh your understanding of the safety instructions periodically .
• Take care only to use the hedge-trimmer for the work it is intended, improper use can cause serious injury. Always adhere to information in the instruction manual.
• Never allow children to operate the hedge-trimmer. Operators must be of sufficient strength, maturity and size to be able to lift the hedge-trimmer correctly for extended periods use. They must also be able to fully understand and follow instructions in this manual.
• Exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Only operate the hedge-trimmer out of doors in a well-ventilated area. Should you experience symptoms of headache and nausea associated with exhaust fumes, STOP the engine immediately.
• When using the hedge-trimmer the operator is responsible for the safety of persons or objects that lie within the working area.
• Two-stroke petrol is highly inflammable. Before refuelling always stop engine, do not smoke and make sure the area is well ventilated and free from any external flame or sparks. Wipe any fuel spilt immediately.
Two-stroke petrol can burn or irritate
skin. Change clothing immediately if fuel is spilt on it. Never remove fuel tank cap when the engine is running.
Always use thick safety gloves when operating the hedge-trimmer and never touch the blades when the engine is running as this will cause severe injury.
• Never operate the hedge-trimmer under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or other medication that causes drowsiness.
Loose clothing or hair can lead to
serious injury if caught in moving parts of the hedge-trimmer. Always where close fitting clothing.
Always wear the appropriate
protective clothing to avoid personal injury, including eye protection. goggles, or full specification safety glasses, safety helmet complete with ear protection, heavy-duty boots with non-slip soles and heavy-duty gloves. Before undertaking any work or maintenance, including refilling the fuel tank, STOP the engine and ensure blades come to a complete standstill.
Take care to maintain your balance to
avoid loss of control and injury. Always stand on firm even ground when operating the hedge-trimmer, never work from a ladder or any unsafe location. Keep both hands on the hedge-trimmer at all times and never attempt to cut overhead or with one hand. When operating the machine avoid prolonged exposure to vibration,
SAFETY INSTR UCTION S cont’d
although the hedge-trimmer is designed to keep vibration to a minimum, it is recommended that short rest breaks are taken to minimise the harmful effect vibration may cause.
HEDGE-TRIMMER
Damaged or loose parts including
blades can cause injury to the operator or bystanders. Always inspect the hedge-trimmer before using. Only use genuine approved spare parts for repair. Unauthorised use of non-genuine spare parts may invalidate warranty and could cause injury.
Check the position and safety of all
guards, handles, controls are free from defect..
Store hedge-trimmer in a safe, dry,
cool area and away from direct sunlight. For prolonged periods of storage, drain fuel tank and run carburettor dry before storing your hedge-trimmer.
Careful maintenance is essential for
safety and optimum performance. Regularly check the hedge-trimmer adjustments and replace worn or damaged parts. If engine idle speed is set too high, cutting blades will not stop when the operator releases the throttle. To prevent injury, ensure idle speed is set correctly and blades do not turn when engine is idling. Replace or sharpen worn, dull or misadjusted cutting blades.
FUEL MIXTURE: 25 : 1
Use fresh, unleaded petrol and mix
synthetic two-stroke oil specially made for high performance two-stroke engines at a ratio of 25 parts petrol to 1 part of oil.
Using synthetic oil will reduce the formation of ash and carbon deposits on the spark plug, piston, combustion chamber, muffler, as well as extending engine life and reducing harmful exhaust gasses.
It is important to use only good quality fresh two-stroke mixture, which should be disregarded after four weeks.
WARNING Two-stroke mixture gasoline is highly
flammable and can explode under certain circumstances. Never overfill petrol tank so that fuel rises into the filler neck. Heat may cause fuel to expand and overflow through vents in the tank cap. After refuelling make sure petrol cap is securely closed. If two-stroke mixture is spilt on engine or tank, wipe clean immediately.
ENGINE STARTING
To start the engine proceed as follows:-
1. Ensure fuel tank is filled with
correctly mixed fresh two-stroke mixture at a ratio of 25-1.
2. Switch ignition switch to on position.
3. Prime the carburettor by slowly
pushing the priming button several times until fuel reaches the carburettor.
4. Push the choke lever to the closed
position.
5. Squeeze throttle control trigger and
depress orange throttle lock button.
6. With your left hand grip the throttle
control handle and with your right hand firmly pull recoil starter four or five times, or until the engine starts.
7. After starting release the choke lever
to the open position (see Fig.2)
8. To avoid damage to recoil starter, do
not pull recoil rope its entire length and do not let go of rope when it is fully extended, as this may cause injury and damage to the recoil mechanism.
9. Allow sufficient warm up time to
maximise engine performance before load is applied.
10. Never touch the muffler, spark plug,
or other metallic parts of engine while the engine is in operation, or immediately after shutting down the engine. Doing so may result in serious burns.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
By releasing throttle lever blades will
come to a standstill (if engine idle is set too high, re-adjust throttle stop).
