8 1.9 For safe operation of pruner/hedge trimmer. Approaching or contacting electric power lines with the pruner/hedge trimmer may cause serious injury or death from electrocution. Electricity can jump from one point to another by means of arcing or may be conducted through damp branches. Maintain a clearance of at least 1Sm between pruner/hedge trimmer and any electrical line carrying live current NEVER operate the pruner/hedge trimmer at an angle greater than 60, this will reduce the risk of being struck by falling objects during operation After completing cutting in one area When you finish cutting in one location and wish to continue working at another spot, turn off the engine, lift up the unit and carry it paying attention to the blade Always cover cutting blades to prevent injury during transportation When hand-carrying the product. cover over the cutting part if necessary, lift up the product and carry it paying attention to the blade Never transport the product over rough roads over long distances by vehicle without removing all fuel from the fuel tank. If doing so, fuel might leak from the tank during transport Kickback safety precautions 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 these 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 chain saw user you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury With a basic understanding of kick back you can reduce the element of 8

9 surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the Left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles A firm grip will help you reduce kick back 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 obstruct ion which could be hit while you are operating the saw Cut at high engine speeds Follow the manufacturers sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent. Make sure the chain and sprocket are correctly adjusted before operating the pruner. Never attempt 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 fast in a 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 be comes tangled. Do not operate with broken or damaged equipment. DO NOT make unauthorized modifications or substitutions to the guide bar or chain. Never allow the engine to run at high RPM without a load. Doing so could damage the engine. Keep the pruner as clean as possible. Keep it free of loose vegetation, mud etc. 9

16 5 FUEL & OIL 5.1. Fuel and 2 stroke oil You MUST only use fresh unleaded fuel and 2 stroke engine oil mixture The oi/fuel ration mix is 40:1. NEVER use neat petrol in your engine. This will cause permanent engine damage and will invalidate the manufacturer's warranty of this product. NEVER use a fuel mixture that has been stored for 90 days Fuel mixture Mix unleaded petrol with 2 stroke engine oil into an appropriate container. Observe the mixture table for correct ratio of fuel to oil. Unleaded petrol Two-stroke engine oil (40: 1) Unleaded petrol Two-stroke engine oil (40:1) 1 Litre Litre (25ml) 5 Litre Litre (125ml) 2 Litre Litre (50ml) 10 Litre Litre (250ml) Shake the container to ensure complete mixing. Petrol is extremely flammable and sparks and naked flames can cause an explosion Refuel only in a well ventilated area and allow engine to cool before filling Smoking and naked flames must be avoided as any sparks during refueling Do not overfill the tank Check after refueling if the fuel tank cap is properly closed Avoid any spillage of petrol make sure all spillages are cleaned up immediately Keep the machine away from children. 16

17 5.3. Checking chain oil supply. Only use chain oil After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown in the figure The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver in the hole on bottom of the clutch side. N.B. The screw must be pushed in slightly to turn the screw failure to do so could cause damage to the pump/screw Adjust according to your work conditions. (1) Chain oil flow adjusting shaft. (2) Anti-clockwise Increase. (3) Clockwise Decrease. 5.4 To fill with chain oil place unit on its side, undo chain oil cap (1), fill with chain oil to prescribed level. 5.5 The guide bar and saw chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever the chain rotates. The pump is factory set to deliver a minimum flow. It can be adjusted in the field which might be desirable when cutting hard woods. The oil reservoir has sufficient to provide about 40 minutes of cutting time (when set to minimum flow rate). You must check chain oil before each use. Never attempt to fill the oil reservoir or adjust the flow rate while the engine is running. 17

18 5 STARTING/STOPPING & USING THE MACHINE 6.1. Engine - Cold start Fill the machine with fuel as described in section Turn the power switch (1) to the on position (I) Set the machine on a firm and flat surface Press the primer bulb (3) about 8-10 times (petrol will flow into bulb) Move the choke lever (2) to the upper (closed) position Pull the starter rope (4) with a short stroke out until resistance is felt (about 100mm). Then pull firmly and continuously, do not let go of the starter handle instead let it return slowly. Always pull the starter rope straight out. The oblique pulling the starter makes the rope rub against the eyelet. This can lead to fraying or breaking the starter control rope. Always hold the starter handle firmly when the rope is withdrawn. Never let the rope fly back into the starter this could damage the starter Once the machine has started move the choke lever (5) to the lower run (open) position Before starting work allow the engine to warm up at idle speed for about ten minutes Never leave the machine unattended. If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, refer to troubleshooting section. 18

19 6.2. Engine - Warm start Fill the machine with fuel as described in section Turn the power switch (1) to the on position (I) Set the machine on a firm and flat surface Move the choke lever (5) to the lower (open) position Pull the starter rope (4) with a short stroke out until resistance is felt (about 100mm). Then pull firmly and continuously, do not let go of the starter handle instead let it return slowly Before starting work allow the engine to warm up at idle speed for about ten minutes If engine does not start then follow the Engine - Cold start section Never leave the machine unattended Stopping the machine Release the throttle lever and let engine idle Press the start-stop switch on the handle to off position (O) and wait until the machine stops Never leave the machine unattended Trimming techniques. If you are not familiar with the trimming, practice with the machine In the off position (O) (switched off), as shown below Always trim or cut with high engine speeds Do not run the machine slowly Swing the nylon cutting head of the trimmer horizontally from one side to the other Keep cutting deck parallel with the ground. Do not tilt the nylon cutting head during operation For correct cutting height trim in advance in a test area Keep nylon cutting head at the same level for even depth of cut. 19

20 ALWAYS clear the area of cans, bottles, rocks, etc. Flying or whirling objects may cause serious injury and damage to users or viewers. If an object is accidentally flung out from machine, immediately stop and check the machine Never let the machine run with damaged or defective parts In trimmer mode only use for trimming grasses Never raise the nylon cutting head above knee height during operation DO NOT use the machine on a slope or uneven ground or if there is the chance of slipping or losing the stability Never over cut instead cut short lengths then lower until desired height is achieved, as shown below. ALWAYSSTOP MACHINE before removing grass deposits to prevent overheating of the drive axle. Grass deposits occur when fibers of the weed are involved around the shaft under the shield. This prevents the shaft from cooling properly. Remove grass deposits with a screwdriver or similar tool only when switched off the machine Trimming round trees Trim around tree trunks slowly making sure that the nylon cord does not come into contact with the tree trunk Walk around the tree from left to right, and approach the grass/weeds with the tip of the thread To release more nylon cutting line To release new nylon line, run the machine at full throttle and tap the nylon cutting head on the grass. 20

21 The nylon cutting line releases automatically The knife edge mounted on the shield cuts off excessive line.
