CAUTION: Before doing any work on the brush cutter, always stop the engine and
pull the spark plug connector off the spark plug.
Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION: Start the brush cutter only after having assembled it completely.
For machines with U Handle models
- Place the handle-fixing metal so that the handle with the control lever will be
positioned on the right (the right-hand grip side) as viewed from the engine side,
and the other handle on the left side.
- Fit the groove of the handle-fixing material to the handle end. Fix provisionally the
attached metal by hexagon socket bolt supplied.
- Adjust the handle to an easy-to-operate position, and tighten securely the four
hexagon socket bolts uniformly on the right and left by Allen wrench.
For machines with E Handle models
- Temporarily assemble four M5 x 25 socket head bolts (1) on the handle joint (2) so
that the handle (3) with a control lever will come to your right hand side.
- Adjust the handle to an easy-to handle position and tighten the socket head bolts
(1) with even pressure applied on all of them.
- Fit the control cable (together with the earth cord) to the handle with two clips (4)
and hanger.
- Avoid any tendency of the control cable to loop at the handle bar.
For machines with Loop Handle models
- Fix a barrier to the left side of the machine together with the handle for operator’s
protection.
- Do not adjust position of the loop handle too close to the control grip.
Keep not less than 250 mm distance between the handle and the grip.
(a distance collar is provided for this purpose.)
Adjustment of control cable
Make adjustment so that the control cable will be provided with a play of 1 to 2 mm,
when the throttle lever is set to low speed by carburetor adjusting bolt.
(the blade or the nylon cutting head must not turn when the engine is on idle)
