Operation
•
High grass should always be cut from the top
and downwards. In this way you prevent the
grass from being wrapped around the trimmer
head and thereby lead to overheating and
damage. If grass and the like is wrapped
around the trimmer head the engine must be
STOPPED, the spark plug cap taken off and
the grass then removed.
•
For moving the line forward you tap the
trimmer head lightly against the ground while
the engine runs at full speed.
•
Hold the trimmer at an angle towards the area
that is to be cut.
•
The illustration shows the best cutting angle
(Fig7A).
•
Use the line to cut. Do not force the trimmer
head into grass that has not yet been cut.
•
Wire and fences are hard on the line and may
even cause it to break.
Stones and walls, and wood cause the line to
be worn down very fast. Walk around trees
and bushes. Bark and trees, wood boarding
and poles are easily damaged by the line
Air filter
For correct performance and durability, the air
filter must be kept clean.
1. Remove the lid of the air filter by unscrewing
the screw that fastens the lid.
2. Wash the filter in mild soap water. Leave it to
dry. Pour on a little two-stroke oil Press out
any surplus oil. Replace an old and worn filter.
3. Filter and lid is fitted again. Make sure that the
filter and lid is secured tightened.
Clean the air filter for every 5 hours or more
often if you work in dusty areas.
Spark plug
This machine is equipped with a spark plug with
an electrode distance of 0,6 mm. For optimal
performance it should be replaced once a year.
Storage
1. Empty all fuel into a can approved for petrol.
Let the engine run until it stops.
2. Clean the head, and store the machine frost
free and out of reach for children.
3. Observe all safety precautions concerning
safe storage and handling of gasoline.
Lubrication of gear
The gear is lubricated from the factory, but for
every 30-hour operation Grease MUST be refilled.
Top up with grease type: MULTIFAK EP-0 using a
grease gun (not included) on the lubrication
nipple. See Fig 7B
Please note that the gear gun is not supplied.
