When restarting immediately after stopping the engine move the throttle lever to the idling position.

5. While holding the unit firmly pull out the starter rope quickly.(F11)

6. After the engine has started open the choke gradually.

7. Allow the engine to run for 2 to 3 minutes to warm up.

Stopping the engine

1. Return the throttle lever to the idling position.

2. Push the engine switch button.

Equipping the shawl band (F12)

1. Equip the attached shawl band.(F12)

2. Turn on the engine return the throttle lever to the lowest speed position and put the shawl band hook to the hanging part of the machine.

3. Adjust the length of the shawl band so that the blade may be parallel to the ground in the working position. In order to prevent stack during operation turn up the extra part of the band from the buckle.

Cutting operation

Metal blade usage

- Always cut by guiding the head from your right to left.

- A metal blade cut best up to the point 1/3 from the edge. Use that area for cutting shrubs tough and thick weeds. For cutting young grass you can use up to 2/3 from the tip of blade.

- Adjust the engine speed according to the cutting objects. Cutthe young grass at middle speed and cut shrubs or tough and thick weeds at high speed.

(1) For boughs and trees (2) For grass and weeds (3) Direction of cutting (4) Direction of rotation

Operating at low speed make it easier for grass weeds or twigs to caught up in the blades and also it mokes the shaft and clutch wear down more quickly.

Nylon cutter usage

- Nylon cord consumes large power. Please note that the engine rotation

should be in operation

- Nylon cutter cut grass with the power of cord rotation. If you try to cut grass for the length of cord at one 50% as large as when using metal blade. time rotation speed becomes lower due to resistance and you cannot cut well. In case of large resistance get the nylon cutter away from grass once make the rotation speed higher and cut a small amount of grass at one time.

- If you try to cut grass by swinging the brush cutter in the reverse way (from left to right) scraps fly in the direction away from the body, so you can avoid getting your clothes dirty.

8. Maintenance

Blade

- Sharpen each cutting edge and make sure the bottom corner is rounded.(F13)

- Do not cool the blade with water in case of using grinder. If may cause cracks on blade.

Air cleaner

Check and clean the filter element in warm soapy water if required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is broken or shrunk replace with a new one. (F14)

(1) cover (2) Element (3) screen (4) Body

A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the engine power. If you operate the brush cutter without the air filter or with a deformed filter element will quickly ruin the engine.

Fuel Filter

Take the filter out of the fueling port using a small wire hook. Disconnect the filter assembly from the fuel pipe and unhook the retainer to disassemble it. Clean the components with gasoline.

A clogged fuel fitter may cause poor acceleration of the engine.

Spark plug

Remove and inspect the spark plug and clean the electrodes if necessary with brush. The spark gap should be adjusted to 0.6 - 0.7 mm. (F

15)

Intake air cooling vent

- Check the intake air-cooling vent and the area around the cylinder cooling fins and remove any waste which has attached itself to the brush cutter.

- Note that failing to do so could cause the muffler to become overheated and that this in turn could cause the brush cutter to catch on fire.

Gear Case

Supply multi-purpose grease at every 25 hours of use. Remove the cutter holders to arrange for old grease. (F16)

Muffler

1. Remove the muffler insert a screwdriver into the vent and wipe away any

carbon buildup. Wipe also away any carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust

vent.

2. Tighten all screws bolts and fittings.

3. check to see it any oil or grease has worked its way in between the clutch,

lining and drum and if it has, wipe it away. Using oil-free lead-free gasoline.

4. Remove the float cabin of the carburetor and clean the inside.

Adjusting carburetor

A wrong adjustment may cause damage to your unit. If the engine does not run well after adjusting the carburetor, please contact the shop where you purchased the pro duct.

Idle adjustment screw (F17)

This is the screw to adjust the engine rotation when the throttle lever is set to the

lowest speed position. If you turn right (clockwise) the rotation increases and left (counterclockwise) decreases. In case the blade continues to rotate or engine stops when you return the throttle lever completely to the original position, make a readjustment.

(1) Idle adjustment screw (2) High (3) Low

Maintenance before storing

1. Brushing off dirt form the machine check damage or stack of each part if you find

out abnormalities, repair them for the next use.

2. Extract fuel from the tank and loose the drain screw of the float cabin to extract

fuel, turn on the engine and leave it running until it stops naturally.

3. Remove the spark plug and put in 1-2cc of 2-cycle oil in the engine. Draw the

starter rope 2-3 times, set the plug back and stop it at the contraction position.

4. Apply anti-rust oil to the metal parts such as the throttle wire put the security

cover on the blade and keep the machine indoor avoiding dampness.
