Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your petrol line
trimmer is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not
operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Assembly
Prior to use, it is necessary to assemble the safety guard (3) and cutting spool (1)
to the lower shaft (5b) and join the lower shaft (5b) to the upper shaft (5a).
Before assembling the line trimmer, ensure the protective plastic sleeve is
removed from the shaft of the trimmer.
Fitting the safety guard
Note. If the bump feed knob is fitted, remove the bump feed knob on the end
of the spindle prior to fitting the guard. To remove the bump feed knob, turn the
bump knob (18) in an anti-clockwise direction.
1. Slide the safety guard (3) on from the bottom of the lower
shaft (5b). The guard should slide upward so the bracket fitted
on the end of the shaft locates on the inside of the guard.
Ensure the holes of the safety guard line up with the fixing
mount holes on the shaft bracket.
Note. If you require replacement spool and line, this is
available for purchase. Please refer to page 23 for
further detail.

2. Place the hex nut into the hex shape recess
on the guard. Slide the screw through the
side of the safety guard and tighten with
the hex key provided.
Joining the shaft
1. Depress the location pin and insert the
lower shaft (5b) into the upper shaft (5a).
Rotate the lower shaft until the pin locates
positively into the hole in the upper shaft.
2. Tighten the shaft locking knob (21) to
secure both shafts in place.
Fitting the spool
Note. The spool assembly is contained
with shrink plastic to assist in the assembly.
Keep this plastic wrap intact while you assemble. When fitting
the spool on the shaft, the shaft will pierce through the thin
plastic wrap.
1. Slide the raised section of the spool (1) onto the end of the
shaft. Ensure the large hex recess on the rear of the spool fits
fully over the large hex drive on the base of the spindle.
2. With your fingers, push the spool fully into the housing and
screw the bump knob (18) onto the end of the shaft by turning
it in a clockwise direction. Screw the bump knob onto the
shaft until it’s tight whilst holding the spool.
Note. Ensure to remove any packing tape and plastic wrap
from the spool at this stage.
3. Once the spool is fully inserted and the lines are fully through
the eyelets, pull firmly on each line to disengage the lines from the spool notches.
Ensure the lines are fully clear of the spool notches and the line is passing through
the eyelets directly to the spool.
Note. If you require replacement spool and line, this is available for purchase.
Please refer to page 23 for further detail.

Fitting and adjusting the secondary handle
WARNING. Before each use, ensure the secondary handle
cannot swivel by checking the two handle clamp screws are
tight and the handle is firm.
1. The line trimmer has been pre-packed with the secondary
handle facing in the opposite direction to where it must sit
during use.
2. Rotate the secondary handle by 180°.
3. After locating the handle in the
operational position, tighten the two
handle clamp screws (15) to the point
where the handle is firm on the shaft
4. After the first use, you may find the
handle needs to be adjusted. To move
or rotate the handle, loosen the two
handle clamp screws (15), and rotate or
slide the handle up or down the shaft.
When the desired position is found, re
tighten the two handle clamp screws so
the handle is firm on the shaft.

Mixing the fuel
MOTOR FUEL: MIX AT 40:1 ONLY
For example: For 1 litre of unleaded petrol add 25ml of oil.
For 5 Litres of unleaded petrol add 125ml of oil.
IMPORTANT. Use good quality air cooled 2-stroke engine oil.
This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires
pre-mixing fuel with 2-stroke oil.
1. Use fresh unleaded petrol. Do not use ethanol fuel (E10). Use
fresh 91 Octane unleaded petrol. You must use 2-stroke oil
specifically made for heavily stressed two-stroke engines.
2. Mix the petrol and oil in an approved container. Never mix fuel
directly in the line trimmer fuel tank. Use the fuel mixing bottle
included with this product.
Note. Mixing has been made easy by including markings on the container
included. For example, if unleaded fuel is filled to the ‘400’ mark in the “GAS”
column of the container, place oil in the container until it reaches the next mark
(in the 40:1 OIL markings of the container). Therefore, 400ml of fuel would mean
10ml of oil must be added.
WARNING. Never use any type of pre-mixed fuel/oil direct from fuel stations.
This may include special blends intended for use in mopeds, motorcycles, etc.
3. Mix the fuel thoroughly and also each time before fuelling.
4. Always pre-mix in small quantities. Never mix quantities larger than what will be
used in a 30-day period.
Note. The mixing bottle provided is NOT for the storage of fuel. This container is
solely for mixing of fuel only.
Ensure to keep this container in a safe storage location, empty of fuel and out of
reach of children.

Filling the tank
WARNING. Always shut off the engine before fuelling. Never add fuel to a
machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 9 m (30 ft.) away from
the refuelling site before starting engine. Do not smoke when refuelling or
operating the line trimmer.
Note. It is normal for smoke to be emitted from a new engine during and after
first use.
1. Place the line trimmer upright on the ground or on a sturdy
bench and wipe any debris from around the fuel cap.
2.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap and pour the mixture into the tank
with the aid of a funnel.
3. Be careful not to spill any mixture. If this happens, wipe the
spill with a clean rag.
4. Start the engine at least nine metres (30ft) away from the area
where the fuel tank has been filled up in order to avoid any risk of fire.

Running in the engine
1. During the first 2–3 hours of work, run the engine at a moderate RPM.
2. We advise you in any case not to maintain your engine at a high speed as the
different components must settle with each other during the process of running
in the engine.
3. It is at the end of the running in period that the engine will reach its maximum
power.
4. After the first two hours of work, stop and make sure that all nuts and screws
are securely fastened, and tighten them if necessary.
Use of the petrol line trimmer
This petrol line trimmer is only made to cut grass.
• Alwaysusetheshoulderstrap(17),whenusingthelinetrimmertoavoid
serious personal injury.
• Performafewaccelerationsofthemotorwithoutreachingmaximumspeed

• Starttheengineonlywhenyouareclosetotheworkingarea.
• Placeyourselfinawellbalancedposition,stableonbothfeet.
Operating the line trimmer
IMPORTANT. Petrol line trimmers transmit vibrations to the operator during
use. These vibrations can generate increased fatigue. For this reason, we
recommend taking regular breaks during work. We also recommend taking
a break after a few hours of work to rest the engine. If abnormal noise or
vibration occurs during operation, turn the line trimmer off immediately and
have the problem corrected.
1. Keep a firm grip on the line trimmer with both hands while in operation.
The line trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle
about hip height.
2. Always operate the line trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the top
down to prevent grass from wrapping around the spool which may cause the
line trimmer to overheat.
5

SUA 1800 909 909 www.globalpowerbrands.com email: [email protected]
AFTER SALES SUPPORT 43670
18
Note. If grass becomes wrapped around the spool, stop the engine, disconnect
the spark plug wire, and remove the grass.
Note. Prolonged cutting not at full throttle may result in oil dripping from
the muffler.
Feeding the line
WARNING. The engine of the petrol line trimmer must be at a complete stop
during assembling, repair and cleaning operations that could be necessary.
The line trimmer has a bump feed mechanism which releases the line without
having to stop the engine.
1. To release additional line, lightly tap the bump knob (18) on the ground
while operating the unit at high speed.
Note. Always keep the line fully extended. Line release becomes more difficult
as the cutting line becomes shorter.
2. Each time the head is bumped it releases approximately 2cm of line. Release the
line until it strikes the cut off knife (2). This may require several taps.
Note. The cut off knife (2) on the safety guard (3) will automatically cut off
any excess line. For best results tap the head on hard soil or bare ground. Never
bump the spool head on concrete as it may crack the spool housing.
IMPORTANT. Do not hit stones (even small ones), piles of earth, and small
pieces of wood or anything else that could be hidden or poorly visible in the
grass. If you hit a large object by accident, or if you block the cutting tool due
to overloading or having the cutter jammed with grass, you must stop the
engine.
Note. All protective devices of the machine as well as protective equipment
must be maintained in good operation condition during the period of use.
Note. If the line is too short you may not be able to advance the line by
tapping it on the ground. If this is the case, stop the engine and manually
advance the line.

Note. When inserting the spool into the housing, the spool
may need to be rotated slightly so as to locate into the
housing. Before the spool is fully inserted into the housing,
ensure the lines are free of the notches.
10.Once the spool is fully inserted and the lines are fully through
the eyelets, pull firmly on each line to disengage the lines from
the spool notches. Ensure the lines are fully clear of the spool
notches and the line is passing through the eyelets directly to
the spool.
11.To install the spool, line and housing, refer to ‘Fitting the
spool’ section of this manual.
Note. On start up test the operation of the bump feed to ensure the line feeds
correctly.
CAUTION. After changing the line spool, run the petrol line trimmer under
no load for at least a minute to make sure that the line and the tool are
both operating correctly. Use only the line spool as recommended by the
manufacturer.
WARNING. Never use steel threads and/or three teeth blade other than those
provided by the manufacturer. Always use tools in perfect condition, free of
damage.
WARNING. In high-speed rotation, parts could be projected at very high speed
and could involve serious injury and damages to persons and property.
