SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels afxed to the hedge
trimmer. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specic potential
hazards. Retain these instructions for reference.
• Use sturdy footwear and a helmet with eye and ear protection.
Protect exposed parts of your body. Wear heavy duty gloves, preferably
made of leather.
• Do NOT operate the hedge trimmer if you are tired, ill or under the inuence
of alcohol or drugs.
• Do NOT smoke when using the hedge trimmer and ensure caution when
handling fuel. We recommend you fuel the machine at least 3m away from
where you wish to work in case any spilt fuel ignites when starting the engine.
• Ensure that bystanders, children and pets keep well away when starting or
cutting - at least 15m.
• Inspect the hedge trimmer, and in particular the cutter blade, before use
for any worn or damaged parts. Do not use until the parts are repaired or
replaced.
• Before starting the engine make sure the cutter blade is not in contact with
anything and have a clear work area and secure footing.
• Hold the hedge trimmer rmly with both hands when using and keep all parts
of your body away from the machine. Always ensure a safe rm footing and
do not over-reach.
• Always carry the hedge trimmer with the engine stopped and the cutter blade
covered.
• Never lay the hot hedge trimmer down on dry grass or any combustible
material where there is a re risk from the hot engine.
• Only use the hedge trimmer in good light and visibility. During cold weather be
aware of slippery or wet areas.
• NEVER operate the hedge trimmer in a tree or from a ladder.
• NEVER feed twigs or other material to be cut into the cutter blade with your
hands. Do not lift the hedge trimmer by the cutter blades and be aware that
the blades may run on after the engine has stopped.
• Please recycle the cardboard packaging in which the hedge trimmer is
delivered.
Always shut off the engine before setting it down.

FUEL
Petrol is very ammable. Avoid smoking or fuelling the chainsaw
anywhere near a ame or sparks. Allow the engine to cool before
re-fuelling. Fuel the engine at least 3m away from your work area.
• Use a ratio of 25:1 unleaded petrol to 2-stroke mineral oil.For semi-synthetic or
semi-synthetic use the manufacturer's ratio. Mix in the mixing bottle provided.
• Unscrew the fuel cap, and fuel the machine to 80% capacity. Fasten the fuel
cap tightly and wipe up any spillage.
• Ensure that any stored petrol/oil mixture (2-stroke) is clearly marked in a
separate can and only stored for 4-6 weeks. If the hedge trimmer is not going
to be used for a long period, drain the mixture from the fuel tank, start the
engine and drain the carburettor of any remaining fuel.
• Dispose of any unwanted 2-stroke mixture at an authorised recycling point.
Attaching the Rear Handle:
• Attach the rear handle using the two nuts and bolts supplied.
• Undo the two bolts, t the handle into the xed “U” shaped bracket.
• Place the other bracket on top and tighten the two nuts and bolts.

OPERATION
Before use, check that the cutter blade is not damaged, the handles and
controls are easy to use and that the STOP On/Off switch operates correctly.
The idling speed should be set so that the blades do not move whilst the
engine is idling.
1. Push the STOP switch to “I” position.
2. Squeeze lock lever A and then the throttle lever B.
3. Keeping throttle lever B depressed, press throttle lock C inward.
4. Keeping throttle lock C depressed, release throttle lever B - this will lock
throttle lever B in position.
5. Gently depress the primer pump 7-10 times until fuel comes into the primer
pump.
6. Move the choke lever to ‘open’.
7. Holding the unit down rmly, slowly pull the starter cord until resistance is
felt and continue with a sharp pull until the engine res.
8. Move the choke lever to ‘closed’ and pull the starter cord again until the
engine res.
9. As soon as the engine starts, squeeze and release the throttle, this
releases the throttle lever B so that the engine can idle.
10. Run the engine for approximately one minute at moderate speed before
applying full speed.
• If starting a warm engine, try procedures 1, 7 and 8. If the engine does not
start repeat the whole procedure from step 1.
To Stop the Machine:
• Release the throttle lever completely and push the STOP switch to the “O”
position.

Page 7
Always hold the hedge trimmer rmly with both hands when using.
Before cutting ensure that the blades are running at full speed and be aware that
the blades may keep moving after you have released the throttle.
It is advisable to cut a hedge from the bottom up sweeping the cutter bar in an arc
as you move along the hedge.
To cut the top of the hedge, hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0-10 degrees as you
swing the hedge trimmer horizontally. Sweep the cutter bar in an arc towards the
outside of the hedge so that the cuttings are swept onto the ground.
Pay special attention when cutting hedges along a wire fence. The blades may be
damaged if they come into contact with the wire.
Do not use the hedge trimmer for long periods of time - take a break of 10-15
mins after every 50 mins of use or after using one tank of fuel.
If the blades hit a stone, wire or other foreign object, turn off the engine and check
for any damage. Replace any damaged blades before continuing.
Do not attempt to remove any twigs or branches jammed in the cutter blades
without rst turning the machine off.
HINTS AND TIPS

Page 8
MAINTENANCE
To ensure a long service life and to avoid any damage to the hedge trimmer
perform the following maintenance at regular intervals.
Blade Adjustment:
After a period of time the blades may need adjusting.
Refer to the diagram below and follow these guidelines:
1. Loosen nut 1.
2. Turn screw 2lightly until it stops turning and the turn back ¼ -½ turn.
3. Tighten nut 1whilst holding screw 2.
4. Lubricate the blades with light oil after adjustments.
5. Start the engine and operate throttle on and off for a minute making sure the
blades run freely.

STORAGE
When storing the hedge trimmer for any length of time it is important to drain the
fuel, both in the tank and the carburettor. Either drain the fuel manually or run the
engine until it uses up all the fuel.
Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the spark plug hole.
Pull the starter cord gently to conrm that a lm of oil covers the engine inside.
Tighten the spark plug.
Clean dirt or dust from the cutter blade and the outside of the machine and wipe
with an oily cloth.
Store in a dry place.
Air Filter:
Check and clean the Air Filter regularly to ensure optimum performance.
Remove the air lter cover, take out the sponge element and wash it in lukewarm
water. Allow it to dry completely before putting it back in the Air Filter. Clean off
any excessive dirt and dust.
Spark Plug:
Check the spark plug periodically and ensure that the gap between the electrodes
is between 0.6 and 0.7mm. Adjust where necessary using the universal wrench
supplied. If the spark plug is clogged with carbon, clean thoroughly or replace.
Grease:
Supply good quality grease to the gear case through the grease hole for every 10
to 20 hours of operation.
