It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaudʼs Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to the condition. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration: a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaudʼs Syndrome. b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation. c) Take frequent work breaks.

FUEL AND REFUELING HANDLING THE FUEL SAFELY Always handle petrol with care, it is highly flammable. Always refuel outdoors where there are no sparks and flames. Do not inhale petrol vapors. Do not let petrol or oil come in contact with your skin. Keep petrol and oil away from the eyes. If petrol or oil comes in contact with the eyes, wash them immediately with clean water. If irritation is still present, see a doctor immediately. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. MIXING THE FUEL This product is powered by a 2-stroke engine and requires pre-mixing petrol and 2- stroke oil. Pre-mix unleaded fuel and 2- stroke engine oil in a clean container approved for fuel. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded petrol intended for automotive use with an octane rating of 87 ([R + M] / 2) or higher.

Do not smoke! 1 Litre 2 Litres 3 Litres 4 Litres 5 Litres + + + + + 20 40 60 80 100 ml ml ml ml ml = = = = = 50:1 OPERATING THE TRIMMER (FIG. 5) Hold the trimmer with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.Trimmer should be held at a comfortable position with the rear handle about hip height. Always operate trimmer at full throttle. Cut tall grass from the top down.This will prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft housing and bump head which may cause damage from overheating. If grass becomes wrapped around the bump head, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the grass. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result in oil dripping from the muffler. ADVANCING THE LINE ADVANCING LINE USING THE EZ LINETM TAP ADVANCE SYSTEM Line advance is controlled by tapping bump head on grass while running engine at full throttle. Run engine at full throttle. Tap bump head on ground to advance line. Line advances each time the head is tapped. FILLING THE TANK Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination. Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap. -4- Several taps may be required until line strikes the cut off blade. Resume trimming. OPERATION 7. Run engine 15 to 30 seconds at full throttle (with trigger depressed fully) on half choke position ( ) to warm up. Move choke lever to run position ( ) (16). NOTE: If the line is worn too short you may not be able to advance the line by tapping it on the ground. If so, STOP THE ENGINE, and manually advance the line. TO START A WARM ENGINE: 1. Press swith (4) to "I" (RUN) position. 2. Move choke lever to run position ( ). 3. Hold trigger and pull starter grip until engine runs. ADVANCING THE LINE MANUALLY Push the bump knob down while pulling online(s) to manually advance the line. CUTTING TIPS (FIG. 6) Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area being cut; this is the best cutting area (28). Do not cut in dangerous cutting area (27). NOTE: Do not pull the starter grip any more than 5 times as more than this can cause the engine to flood. If the engine fails to start after 3 – 5 pulls, immediately repeat steps 5 – 8. Use the tip of line to do the cutting; do not force bump head into uncut grass. TO STOP THE ENGINE: To stop the engine, depress the switch to "O" position. Wire and picket fences cause extra line wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls, curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly. Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily be damaged by the line. NOTE: Be sure to return the stop switch to the "I" (RUN) position before trying to start unit. MAINTENANCE WARNING: SAFETY GUARD LINE TRIMMING CUTOFF BLADE (FIG. 7) Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury, poor performance and may void your warranty. This trimmer is equipped with a line trimming cut-off blade on the safety guard.. For best cutting, advance line until it is trimmed to length by the cut-off blade. Advance line whenever you hear the engine running faster than normal. This will maintain best performance and keep line long enough to advance properly. You may make adjustments and repairs described here. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorized servicing agent. Consequences of improper maintenance may include excess carbon deposits resulting in loss of performance and discharge of black oily residue dripping from the muffler. Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are properly and securely attached to avoid the risk of personal injury. STARTING AND STOPPING (FIG. 8 & 9) WARNING Never start or run the engine inside a closed or poorly ventilated area; breathing exhaust fumes can kill. TO START A COLD ENGINE: 1. Lay trimmer on a flat, bare surface. Press switch (4) to "I" (RUN) position. SPOOL REPLACEMENT EZ LINETMTAP ADVANCE SYSTEM NOTE: Unit is equipped with a positive on-off switch, make sure switch is in the "I" (RUN) position before starting the unit. 2. Push primer bulb (19) 8 to 10 times. 3. Set choke lever (15) to full choke position ( )(18). 4. Depress safety button (5), squeeze trigger (3) and pull starter grip (1) until engine tries to run. (No more than 6 pulls.) 5. Set choke lever to half choke position ( ) (17). NEW PREWOUND SPOOL (FIG. 10 & 11) If replacing line only, refer to "Line Replacement" later in this manual. Use only 2.0 mm diameter monofilament line. Use the manufacturer's replacement line for best performance. Stop the engine, disconnect the sparkplugwire. Hold thebumphead (33 )andunscrew thebump knob(30).Turn clockwise. Remove the empty spool (31)from the bump head. Keep thespring (35)attachedtothe spool. 6. Hold trigger and pull starter grip until engine runs. NOTE: If the engine fails to start, immediately repeat steps 3 – 6 or refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING at the back of this manual. As the engine could be flooded, faulty or worn spark plug, low or incorrect fuel or is in need for a service. -5- SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE 3. To install the new spool, make sure the two lines are captured in the slots (34) opposite each other on the new spool.

Carefully push the spool into the bump head (gently pull the lines to the outside if necessary). When the spool is positioned in the bump head, grasp the lines and pull sharply to release them from the slots in the spool. 5. Push down and turn the spool counterclockwise until it no longer turns. Hold the spool down and rotate clockwise a small amount. Release the spool. The spool should be locked down in the bump head. If not, hold down and rotate until locked. 6. Make sure the bump head and the bump knob are installed on the drive connector by turning the knob counter-clockwise to tighten. 7. Pull the lines again to rotate the spool into cutting position. Push the bump knob down while pulling on line(s) to manually advance the line and to check for proper assembly of the bump head. The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 25 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your product. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model. Cleaning Instructions: Remove the spark arrestor from the muffler. If your spark arrestor is made of a fiberglass material, discard and replace. If your spark arrestor is made of a metal material follow these cleaning instructions: 1. Spray the spark arrestor with a quality carbon cleaner. 2. Gently clean using a wire brush. 3. Install the new or cleaned spark arrestor and reassemble completely before use. REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER (FIG. 16 & 17) For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean. 1. Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latch (39) with your thumb while gently pulling on the cover (40). 2. Remove the filter (41), clean it in warm soapy water. Rinse and let dry completely. For best performance, replace annually. LINE REPLACEMENT (FIG. 12 - 15) 1. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire. Hold the bump head and unscrew the bump knob. Turn clockwise. 2. Remove the spool from the bump head. NOTE: Keep the spring attached to the spool. Remove any old line remaining on the spool. 3. Cut two pieces of string, each being approximately 2.7 m long. 4. Insert the first line (37) into the anchor hole (47) in the upper part of the spool. Wind the first line around the upper part of the spool counterclockwise, as shown by the arrows on the spool (31). Place line in the slot on upper spool flange, leaving about 152 mm extended beyond the slot. Do not overfill. After winding the line, there should be at least 6 mm between the wound line and the outside edge of the spool. 5. Repeat above step with second line (38), using the bottom part of spool. Do not overfill. 3. Install the filter, align tabs, push in, and make sure the latches are locked into place. FUEL CAP WARNING: A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately. The fuel cap (48) contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required. SPARK PLUG 6. Replace the spool and the bump knob. Refer to "Spool Replacement " earlier in this manual. CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Yand NGK BPMR7A with 0.63 mm electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually. Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port and muffler may become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol powered tool, a qualified service technician will need to remove these deposits to restore performance. -6- MAINTENANCE STORAGE (1 MONTH OR LONGER) 1. Drain all fuel from tank into a container approved for fuel. Run engine until it stops. 2. Clean all foreign material from the trimmer. Store it in a well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts. 3. Cover the blade with the blade protector before storing the unit, or during transportation. 4. Abide by all ISO and local regulations for the safe storage and handling of petrol. Excess fuel should be used up in other 2-stroke engine powered equipment. TROUBLESHOOTING IF THESE SOLUTIONS DO NOT SOLVETHE PROBLEM CONTACTYOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENT. PROBLEM Engine will not start: POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION 1. No spark. 2. No fuel. 3. Flooded engine. 4. Starter rope pulls harder now than when new. 1. Check spark. Remove spark plug. Reattach the spark plug cap and lay spark plug on metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat test with a new spark plug. 2. Push primer bulb until bulb is full of fuel. If bulb does not fill, primary fuel delivery system is blocked. Contact a servicing agent. If primer bulb fills, engine may be flooded (see next item). 3. Remove spark plug, turn trimmer so spark plug hole is aimed at the ground. Make sure lever is in the " WARM START " position and pull starter cord 10 to 14 times. This will clear excess fuel from engine. Clean and reinstall spark plug. With the throttle trigger fully depressed, pull starter cord three times with lever at " WARM START " position. If engine does not start, move choke lever to" COLD START " and follow normal starting instructions in "STARTING AND STOPPING" section. If engine still fails to start, repeat procedure with a new spark plug. 4. Contact a servicing agent. Lever will not go into the "COLD START" position: Throttle trigger is depressed. Release throttle trigger. Refer to"Starting and Stopping" earlier in this manual. Engine starts but will not accelerate: Carburetor requires adjustment. *Turn" L " needle counterclockwise 1/16 turn. If "L" low needle (48)can not be turned counterclockwise, do not force plastic limiter caps. Contact a servicing agent (Fig. 18). -7- TROUBLESHOOTING IF THESE SOLUTIONS DO NOT SOLVETHE PROBLEM CONTACTYOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENT. PROBLEM Engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke: POS SIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION 1. Check oil fuel mixture. 2. Air filter dirty. 3. Carburetor requires adjustment. 1. Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-stroke oil mix. 2. Clean air filter. Refer to" Replacing and Cleaning Air Filter" earlier in this manual. 3. Turn"H" needle (49) clockwise 1/16 - 1/8 turn (Fig. 18). Engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not idle: Carburetor requires adjustment. Turn idle speed screw (50)clockwise to increase idle speed (Fig. 18). Line will not advance: 1. Line welded to itself. 2. Not enough line on spool. 1. Lubricate with silicone spray. 2. Install more line. Refer to "Line Replacement" earlier in this manual. 3. Pull lines while alternately pressing down on and releasing bump knob. 4. Remove line from spool and rewind. Refer to "Line Replacement" earlier in this manual. 5. Advance line at full throttle. 3. Line worn too short. 4. Line tangled on spool. 5. Engine speed too slow. Grass wraps around shaft housing and bump head: 1. Cutting tall grass at ground level. 2. Operating trimmer at part throttle. 1. Cut tall grass from the top down. Bump knob hard to turn: Screw threads dirty or damaged. Clean threads and lubricate with grease - if no improvement, replace bump knob. 1. Operating trimmer at part throttle 2. Check oil/fuel mixture. 3. Air filter dirty. 4. Carburetor requires adjustment. 1. Operate trimmer at full throttle. Oil drips from muffler: 2. Operate trimmer at full throttle. 2. Use fresh fuel and the correct 2-stroke oil mix. 3.
