The manual emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding all safety precautions and warnings before operation to prevent serious or fatal injury.
The device functions as a grass trimmer and brush cutter, designed for cutting grass and brush. It is powered by a two-stroke engine, requiring a specific fuel-oil mixture. The cutting attachment can be either a nylon cord head or a metal blade, depending on the model and intended use.
Important technical specifications vary slightly across models. For the TCG24EBSP/TCG24EBS and TCG24EBDP/TCG24EBD models, the engine displacement is 23.9 cm³, using an NGK BMR7A spark plug. The idling speed ranges from 2800-3200 min⁻¹, with an output shaft speed of 7600 min⁻¹ and a maximum engine output of 0.8 kW. The fuel tank capacity for these models is 520 cm³. Dry weight varies from 5.0 kg to 5.3 kg. Sound pressure levels (LpA) are typically 99 dB(A) with an uncertainty of 3 dB(A), and measured sound power levels (LwA) are 108 dB(A), with guaranteed levels of 111 dB(A). Vibration levels (ISO22867) for the front/left handle range from 3.1 to 6.2 m/s², and for the rear/right handle from 2.7 to 4.0 m/s², with an uncertainty of 1.2 to 2.0 m/s².
For the TCG27EBSP/TCG27EBS and TCG27EBDP/TCG27EBD models, the engine displacement is 26.9 cm³, also using an NGK BMR7A spark plug. The idling speed is 2800-3200 min⁻¹, output shaft speed is 7600 min⁻¹, and maximum engine output is 0.9 kW. Fuel tank capacity remains 520 cm³. Dry weight ranges from 4.5 kg to 5.4 kg. Sound pressure levels (LpA) are 97-99 dB(A) with an uncertainty of 3 dB(A), measured sound power levels (LwA) are 108 dB(A), and guaranteed levels are 111 dB(A). Vibration levels (ISO22867) for the front/left handle range from 3.7 to 6.7 m/s², and for the rear/right handle from 2.6 to 4.1 m/s², with an uncertainty of 1.2 to 2.0 m/s².
Usage features include detailed instructions for assembly, starting, and cutting operations. The device requires a fuel mixture of 89 octane unleaded gasoline and genuine two-cycle oil, with a mix ratio between 25:1 to 50:1. The semi-auto cutting head automatically feeds nylon line when tapped at low RPM (not exceeding 4500 min⁻¹). For metal blades, proper installation and orientation of cutting edges are critical. The manual also highlights the importance of wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye, head, and ear protectors, heavy long pants, non-slip boots, and gloves. Users are advised to keep children, bystanders, and helpers at least 15 meters away from the unit during operation.
Maintenance features are categorized into daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. Daily maintenance includes cleaning the exterior, checking the harness, cutting attachment guard, and cutting attachment for damage or cracks, ensuring proper centering and tightness of the cutting attachment nut, and verifying the blade transport guard. Weekly maintenance involves checking the starter, cord, and return spring, cleaning the spark plug and checking its electrode gap (0.6 mm), ensuring the angle gear is filled with grease (up to 3/4), and cleaning the air filter. Monthly maintenance includes rinsing the fuel tank with gasoline, cleaning the exterior of the carburetor and its surroundings, and cleaning the fan and its surroundings. The manual also provides troubleshooting steps for common issues like engine not starting, engine cutting out, abnormal vibrations, and cutting attachment not moving. It emphasizes using only genuine Tanaka replacement parts and consulting a Tanaka dealer for assistance with complex issues.
