any abnormality of the unit, stop operation immediately and
check the unit carefully. If necessary, have the unit serviced
by customer support. Never continue to operate a unit which
may be malfunctioning.

In start-up or during operation of the engine, never touch hot
parts such as the muffler, the high voltage wire or the spark
plug.

After the engine has stopped, the muffler is still hot. Never
place the unit in any places where there are flammable
materials (dry grass, etc.), combustible gasses or
combustible liquids.

immediately.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9

Before proceeding to adjust or repair the unit, be sure to stop
the engine and detach the spark plug.

When the machine is placed in storage for a long time, drain
fuel/oil from the fuel/oil tank and carburettor, clean the

arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also by not
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 no-slip heavy duty work gloves to improve your grip on
the handle. Gloves also reduce the transmission of machine
vibration to your hands.

Do not lay the machine on the 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.

Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this unit.

RESIDUAL RISKS

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 effective dust mask is not worn.

2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not
worn.

3. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the
unit is being used over long periods of time or not
adequately managed and properly maintained.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

1. The air filter elements should be cleaned to provide the
engine abundant clean air which benefits the starting,
power and life time of the engine.

2. To clean or replace the air filter, press the release button
on the air filter housing, Fig.5 (1), remove the cover (2) and
take out the air filter cartridge, Fig.6.

3. If only the air filter needs to be cleaned, remove the air
filter pad and clean it with a jet of dry compressed air until
all dust particles are removed. Wear protective goggles
and masks to protect your health when carrying out this
step.

4. Assemble all parts in a reversed order.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside the cover.
Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. If the nylon filter element is lost, it
should be reinstalled by contacting customer support.

Clean or replace the spark plug if it is soiled with heavy oil
deposits.
