Usage Features

The trimmer is operated from a safety zone, and the engine must be turned off if the operator needs to leave this zone. Users are advised to wear ear muffs, non-slip boots with steel toe caps, and avoid loose-fitting clothing. The machine should not be operated indoors or in poorly ventilated areas due to carbon monoxide exhaust.

Starting and Stopping:

Starting: Prime the pump 3-6 times (Fig. 7B), set the engine switch to "I" (Fig. 6), pull the starter cord (Fig. 7A), and then engage the trimmer activation lever (Fig. 8A) and the self-propelled lever (Fig. 8B).
Stopping: Release both clutch levers and set the engine switch to "O" (Fig. 6).

Safety Precautions:

Maintain a 15-meter safety distance from bystanders.
Do not place hands or feet near rotating parts.
Exercise extreme caution on slopes and when reversing.
Never refuel indoors or while the engine is hot.
Always ensure the engine is off and spark plug removed when leaving the unit unattended or performing maintenance.
If the machine vibrates abnormally, stop it immediately and check for damage.
Do not overload the machine or operate it at excessive speed.
Always walk, never run, and maintain a firm grip on the handles.

Cutting Height Adjustment: The cutting height can be adjusted in multiple positions between 45-90 mm. This is done by loosening two 4 mm Allen screws on the trimmer head, adjusting the head up or down, and then re-tightening the screws (Fig. 10). Each scale line on the adjustment mechanism represents 7 mm.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: After each use, the machine should be cleaned with a garden hose to remove dirt and grass. The trimmer head should be removed from the axle to clear any tangled grass. The serial number should only be wiped with a damp cloth to prevent damage; avoid using a high-pressure washer.

Oil Change (Engine): The engine oil should be changed after the first 5 hours of use, and then at least once a year. An oil extractor kit is recommended.

Extract the old oil through the oil filler hole using a syringe.
Transfer the used oil to the provided container.
Fill the engine with new SAE-30 oil.
Check the oil level using the dipstick. Used oil must be disposed of safely and responsibly.

Storage: For long-term storage, the machine should be thoroughly cleaned, and all surfaces should be wiped with an oil-soaked cloth to prevent rust. Store the machine in a dry, clean place. The engine must be completely cooled before storage indoors or under a cover.

Troubleshooting:

Engine will not start: Check the spark plug, ensure fresh fuel is in the tank, and refer to the separate engine manual for further troubleshooting.
Engine not running smoothly: Check for fresh fuel in the tank.
Trimmer will not rotate: Check that cables are in good working order, clear any tangled grass, and ensure the V-belt is correctly fitted.

Noise and Vibration: Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85 dB(A) can cause hearing damage; always use ear protection. Vibrations can be reduced by holding the handle firmly. Take a 30-minute break every 2 hours of work.
