IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Gasoline grass trimmer
A brush cutter, brush cutter or trimmer used incorrectly or carelessly can become a dangerous tool,
that can cause serious or fatal injury to the operator or others. It is extremely important that you
read and understand the content of this manual.
When using a brush cutter, brush cutter or trimmer, personal protective equipment approved by the
appropriate authorities must be used. Personal protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of
accidents, however, it can reduce the effects of an injury in the event of an accident. Ask your dealer
for help when choosing protective equipment.
WARNING!
Remove your hearing protection as soon as you stop the engine, so that you can hear any noises
or warning signals.
EAR PROTECTION
Ear protection offering sufficient dampening effect should be
used
.
EYE PROTECTION
Blows from branches or objects thrown by the rotating cutting
equipment can damage the eyes.
GLOVES
Gloves should be worn when necessary, e.g., when assembling
cutting equipment.
BOOTS
Use anti-slip and stable boots.
CLOTHING
Wear clothes made of a strong fabric and avoid loose clothing
that can catch on shrubs and branche Always wear heavy-duty
long pants. Do not wear jewellery, shorts, sandals or go barefoot.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
FIRST AID KIT
A first aid kit should be carried by operators of brush cutters, or
trimmers.
The machine's safety equipment
This section describes the machine's safety equipment, its function and how checks and
maintenance are carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. (See the chapter "What is what"to
locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.)
WARNING! Never use a machine with defective safety equipment. Follow the
control, maintenance and service instructions described in this section.

Gasoline grass trimmer
1. Throttle trigger lock
The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent the throttle
from accidentally being engaged. When the trigger lock (
is pressed into the handle (= when you hold the handle)
the throttle (B) is released. When the grip on the handle is
released the throttle and the throttle trigger lock return to
their original positions. This takes place via two
independent return spring systems. This means that the
throttle is automatically locked in its "idling" position.
2. Stop switch
The stop switch should be used to stop the engine.
3.Debris shield
This debris shield is intended to prevent objects from
being thrown towards the operator and to protect the
operator from unintentional contact with the cutting
attachment.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances may the cutting equipment be used without an
approved debris shield fitted.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Control and service of the machine’s safety equipment
1. Throttle trigger lock
Check that the throttle is locked in the "idling position" when the throttle trigger lock is in its original
position.
Press in the throttle trigger lock and make sure it returns to its original position when released.
Ensure that the throttle and throttle trigger lock move easily and that their return spring systems
function.
See section "Start". Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the
cutting equipment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting equipment rotates with the throttle
in the idling position then the carburetor's idling setting must be checked.
2. Stop switch
Start the engine and make sure that the engine stops when the stop switch is moved to the stop.
3. Debris shield
Check that the shield is undamaged and not cracked.
Replace the shield if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.
Always use the prescribed blade and shield combination.
4. Blade and Trimmer head
1) Grass blades are intended for brush cutting.

2) The trimmer head is intended for trimming grass.
5. Locking nut
A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting equipment on the output shaft.
6. Muffler
The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible
noise level and to direct the engine's exhaust fumes
away from the operator.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate the
risk of fire is obvious. We have therefore fitted
certain mufflers with a spark arrestor screen. Make
sure that your muffler is fitted with this kind of
screen.
It is extremely important that the instructions for
checking, maintaining and servicing the muffler are
followed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Cutting equipment
This section describes how through correct maintenance and through using the right type of
cutting equipment you can:
• Reduce the machine's tendency to kickback
• Obtain maximum cutting capacity.
Increase the service life of the cutting equipment
The three basic rules:
1)Only use the cutting and guard equipment we recommend!
2)Keep the blade's teeth well and correctly sharpened!
3)Check the cutting equipment with regard to damage and crack formation. Damaged cutting
equipment should always be replaced.
Cutting equipment
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The section describes how through correct maintenance and through using the right type of cutting
equipment you can reduce the machine's tendency to kickback, obtain maximum clearing capacity
and increase the service life of the cutting equipment.
Only use the cutting and guard equipment we recommend!
Refer tothe instructions forthe cutting equipment forthecorrect winding of cord andfor theselection
of the right cord diameter.
Keep the blade's teeth well and correctly sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also refer to the
instructions on the blade packaging.
WARNING!
Incorrect cutting equipment or an incorrectly sharpened blade increases the risk of kickback.

Gasoline grass trimmer
Filing the blade
The blades are sharpened using a single cut flat file.
Sharpen all edges equally to maintain the balance of the blade.
Always stop the engine before starting work on any part of the cutting equipment. This continues
to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting equipment has stopped
completely and remove the cable from the spark plug before you start to work on it.
Trimmer head
Only use a trimmer head and trimmer cord that is recommended.
These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular
engine size. This is especially important when a fully automatic
trimmer head is used. Only use the cutting equipment we
recommend!
Generally smaller machines require a small trimmer head and vice
versa. This is because when clearing using a cord the engine must
throw out the cord radially from the trimmer head and also meet
resistance from the grass being cleared.
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord requires
greater engine power than a shorter cord of the same diameter.
Make sure the knife positioned on the trimmer guard is intact. This
is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for a few
days. This will make the line tougher and it will keep longer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise harmful
vibrations will occur.
