If the unit will not be used for a long time, clean the unit
completely, especially the fuel/oil tank, its surroundings, and
the air cleaner.
When refuelling, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that
it is cooled down. Never refuel when the engine is running
or hot. When gasoline spills, be sure to wipe it up completely
and dispose of those materials before starting the engine.
Stay clear of other workers or bystanders by at least 15
metres.
Whenever approaching an operator of the unit, carefully
call their attention and confirm that the operator stops the

which can cause an unsafe situation.
Never touch the nylon cutting head whenever the engine is
running. If it is necessary to adjust the protector or nylon
cutting head, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the
nylon cutting head has stopped running.
The engine should be turned off when the unit is moved
between work areas.
Be careful not to hit the nylon cutting head against stones, or
the ground. Unreasonable rough operation will shorten the
life of the unit as well as create an unsafe environment for
yourself and those around you.
Pay attention to loosening and overheating parts. If there is
any abnormality of the unit, stop operation immediately and
check the unit carefully. If necessary, have the unit serviced
by an authorised service agent. Never continue to operate a

arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also avoid
cigarette smoking.
Limit the hours of operation.
If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the
fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult
your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and
vibration.
Always wear ear protection. Loud noises for long periods can
cause hearing loss, even permanent deafness.
Wear non-slip, heavy duty work gloves to improve your
grip on the handle. Gloves also reduce the transmission of
machine vibration to your hands.
WARNING: The string head is still dangerous while the
machine is coming to a stop.
Do not lay the machine on its side; otherwise the fuel could
spill out.
Fuel evaporation during refuelling and exhaust gases are
harmful to the operator and people around the unit.
Ensure the fuel evaporation and exhaust gases will not drift
to the face of operator and keep other people away from
your working area.

eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may
arise in connection with the unit’s construction and design:
1. Damage to lungs if an appropriate dust mask is not worn.
2. Damage to hearing if appropriate hearing protection is
not worn.
3. Health defects may arise from vibration emission if the
unit is being used over long periods of time or not
adequately managed and properly maintained.

1. Run engine at high speed.
2. Tap the spool head on bare ground to release line.
3. A blade in the cutting head shield will cut the line to the
proper length if any excess line is released.

TIPS FOR TRIMMING
Avoid hot surfaces by always keeping the product away from
your body.
Cut all grass from top to down. This will prevent grass from

around the string head, STOP THE ENGINE, disconnect the
spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
MAINTENANCE
Use the tip of line to trim grass; do not force string head into
uncut grass.
Avoid trees, flowers, stones, walls and other objects which can
cause the line breakage.
Check and feed the line regularly to maintain full cutting width
and performance.
