Trimming
-
Always hold the appliance so that your body is on the carburetor side of the appliance,
never on the muffler side. Always hold the appliance firmly from both handles. Never
hold the appliance from the guard. If you stop using the appliance, release the throttle
trigger and let the motor idle.
-
Use only as much throttle as is needed to do the current job. Do not use excessive
engine speed.
-
If the blade hits a hard object like a stone, turn the motor off and check the blade. If the
blade is damaged, replace it.
-
Tilting the trimmer 5-10
˚

MAINTENANCE
Stop the engine and let it cool down. Disconnect the spark plug cap before
maintenance and cleaning.
Perform only the maintenance steps described in this manual and let an
authorised technician take care of all other maintenance (in particular
engine maintenance and repairs).
Cleaning
-
Remove any coarse dirt and wipe the appliance with a soft, damp cloth.
-
Cleaning the air filter:
Unscrew the air filter housing and remove the air filter. Wash the
air filter with warm water (and with a small amount of detergent). Rinse the air filter
thoroughly with clean water. Leave the air filter to dry out completely and replace it.
Regular checks
-
Make sure that the throttle interlock functions properly: Throttle trigger should not move
if you do not press the throttle interlock. Check if the throttle trigger moves when you
release it while pressing the interlock. Check also if the interlock returns to its original
position after it has been released. If the interlock does not function properly, it must be
repaired before the appliance is used.
-
Deformed or damaged anti-vibration system may cause motor or blade structure
damages. Therefore check regularly that the springs are not deformed or damaged.
