TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
- When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue work in another spot, turn off
the engine, lift the unit, and carry it, paying attention to the blade.
- When transporting or storing the machine, always fit the cutting device guard or guide bar
cover.
- When hand carrying the machine, put a cover over the cutting part if necessary.
- Never transport the product over rough roads over long distances without removing all fuel
from the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel may leak from the tank during transport.
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAINSAW USERS
- Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact, in some cases, may cause
a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator. Either of the reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw,
which could result in serious personal injury.
- Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chainsaw user, you
should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
- With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
- Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands when the engine is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
- Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit
while you are operating the saw.
- Cut at high engine speeds.
WARNING: Make sure the chain and guide bar are correctly adjusted before operating the
equipment. Never attempt a chain adjustment with the engine running.
- Always make sure the cutting attachment is properly installed and firmly tightened before
operation.
- Never use a cracked or warped guide bar. Replace it with a serviceable one and make sure it
fits properly.
- If a saw blade should bind in a fast cut, shut off the engine immediately. Push the branch or
tree to ease the bind and free the blade.
- Do not operate the pole pruner with the muffler removed.
- When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring back so that you will not be
struck by the moving limb.
- Always stop the engine immediately and check for damage if you strike a foreign object or if
the machine becomes tangled. Do not operate with broken or damaged equipment.
WARNING: Do not make unauthorized modifications or substitutions to the guide bar or chain.
Never allow the engine to run at a high RPM without a load as doing so could damage the engine.
Keep the pruner as clean as possible. Keep it free of loose vegetation, mud, etc.

OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to take a
few moments before you operate the engine to check its condition. Be sure to correct any
problem you find before use.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
- Cutting head is mounted correctly.
- Switches work easily.
- The ignition plug is safely mounted.
- Make sure that handgrips are clean so that scythe may be lead safely.
- The cutting head must move freely.
FUEL AND CHAIN OIL
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near the fuel. Make
sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground
for fueling.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Feed fuel into the fuel tank and tighten the cap securely. (Pole chain saw only) Feed the
chain oil into the oil tank and tighten the cap securely.
2. Rest the unit on a flat, firm place. Keep the cutting head off the ground and clear of
surrounding objects, as it will start rotating upon starting the engine.
3. Press the primer several times until overflown fuel flows out in the clear tube.

14
OPERATION MANUAL
www.thetoolshed.co.nz
4. Move the choke lever to the closed position.
5. Set the stop switch to the ‘START’ position. Press down the throttle lock.
6. While holding the unit firmly, pull out the starter rope quickly until the engine fires.
7. Move the choke lever downward to open the choke.
8. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before starting operation.
WARNING: This product is equipped with a centrifugal clutch mechanism, so the cutting
attachment begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started by putting the throttle into the start
position. When starting the engine, place the product onto the ground in a flat clear area and hold
it firmly in place so as to ensure that neither the cutting part not the throttle come into contact
with any obstacle when the engine starts.
Do not pull too far and watch the cutting head while pulling the starting cable.
Note:
- When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the choke open.
- Over-choking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. When the engine fails to
start after several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling the rope or remove the spark
plug and dry it.

15
OPERATION MANUAL
www.thetoolshed.co.nz
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the throttle and run the engine for half a minute.
2. Shift the stop switch to the STOP position.
WARNING: Except for an emergency avoid stopping the engine while pulling the throttle lever.
When it doesn’t stop at the switch, move the choke lever to the closed position.
POLE SAW OPERATION
WARNING: Always wear work gloves made of leather or some other sturdy material when using the
pole saw. Falling branches may fall onto the face or into the eyes, resulting in injuries, scratches, and
cuts. For this reason, you should always be sure to wear a helmet and face protector when using
your pole saw.
CHECKING OIL SUPPLY
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium
speed and see if chain oil has scattered off. (As
shown in the figure).
NOTE:
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40 minutes of cutting time (when set to
deliver the minimum flow rate, or about as long as you will get from a tank of fuel). Be sure to refill
the oil tank every time when refueling the saw.

16
OPERATION MANUAL
www.thetoolshed.co.nz
ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE
- Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust the oiler with the engine running.
- An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks
on the oil reservoir.
- To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to check the oil level more frequently
than at fuel tank refills.
- The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the
field.
- A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or
wood with a lot of pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the OFF position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in the desired
direction.
CAUTION: The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly in order to turn. Failure to do so
could damage the pump and screw.

lead to a serious injury or death. For this reason, you should always be careful to follow the
following instructions when using your trimmer.
- Never hold the trimmer in a way in which the blades are pointed towards someone else.
- Never allow the blades to come into proximity with your body while the engine of the
trimmer is in operation.
- Always be sure to turn off the engine before changing the angle of the blades, removing
branches which have become stuck in the blades, or at any other time when coming in
proximity with the blades.
- Always wear work gloves made of leather or some other sturdy material when using the
trimmer.
- Always place the blade cover provided with the trimmer over the blades when not in use.
- Falling branches may fall onto the face or into the eyes, resulting in injuries, scratches, and
cuts. Fir this reason, you should always be sure to wear a helmet and face protector when
using your trimmer.
CAUTION: The thickness of branches which may be cut using this trimmer is limited to up to
approximately 5mm. Never try to cut branches thicker than this, as doing so may result in damage
to the trimmer.
ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE CUTTING BLADES
1. Stop the engine.
2. Lift the lock lever and press down the adjusting lever.
3. Adjust the angle of the blades to the desired angle and release the levers.

18
OPERATION MANUAL
www.thetoolshed.co.nz
OPERATION FOR BRUSH CUTTER
- Working on grass areas, hold the scythe at an angle of 30 degrees and make semicircle turns
to the left and right.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged, it will reduce the performance of the engine. Check and clean the filter
element in warm soapy water as required. Dry completely before installing. If it is broken or shrunk,
then replace it with a new one.
SPARK PLUG
Starting failure and misfiring is often cause by a fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check
that the plug gap is in the correct range.
NOTE: Using any spark plug other than those designed for this engine type may result in the
engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becoming overheated and damaged.
To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is finger tight, the tighten it a quarter turn more
with a socket wrench. Tightening torque – 9.8-11.8N.m (1-1.2kg.m)
MUFFLER
- Inspect the muffler periodically for loose fasteners and any damage or corrosion. If any
sign of exhaust leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it repaired immediately.
Failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire.
Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent, and wipe away any carbon build up. Wipe
away any carbon build up on the muffler exhaust vent and cylinder exhaust port at the same time.
