Daily checkup and maintenance
Before operation, check the machine for loose screws or
missing parts. Pay particular attention to the tightness of
the metal blade or nylon cutting head.
Before operation, always check for clogging of the
cooling air passage and the cylinder fins.
Clean them if necessary.
Perform the following work daily after use:
• Clean the equipment externally and inspect for damage.
• Clean the air filter. When working under extremely dusty
conditions, clean the filter the several times a day.
• Check the blade or the nylon cutting head for damage
and make sure it is firmly mounted.
• Check that there is sufficient difference between idling
and engagement speed to ensure that the cutting tool is
at a standstill while the engine is idling (if necessary
reduce idling speed).
• If under idling conditions the tool should still continue to
run, consult your nearest Authorized Service Agent.
Check the functioning of the I-O switch, the lock-off lever,
the throttle lever, and the lock button.
