This document is the operator's manual for the YARD FORCE Model: GT A42 Petrol Brush Cutter. It provides comprehensive information on the device's intended use, technical specifications, assembly, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The YARD FORCE GT A42 is a versatile outdoor power tool designed for domestic use, functioning as both a brush cutter and a grass trimmer. When fitted with a metal circular blade, it acts as a brush cutter, intended for cutting weeds and climbing plants. It is important to note that it should not be used for cutting wood or objects exceeding 13mm in diameter. When equipped with a nylon line cutting head, it functions as a grass trimmer, specifically for trimming grass. The manual explicitly states that this tool is not designed or warranted for commercial, trade, or industrial applications.
The manual details the assembly process, including installing the guard, fitting the blade, and attaching the line trimmer head. The flange nut for both the blade and line trimmer head has a left-hand thread. The handles are adjustable for comfortable operation, and the upper and lower shafts join with a button-and-clamp mechanism. A crucial safety feature is the requirement to always use the brush cutter with the shoulder belt, which clips to a strap attachment point on the device.
Fueling instructions emphasize safety: always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling, do not smoke, ensure adequate ventilation, and never refuel indoors. The fuel mixture must be 40 parts unleaded fuel to 1 part premium grade air-cooled 2-stroke oil. Using raw fuel without oil or an incorrect fuel mixture will cause permanent engine damage and void the warranty.
Starting the brush cutter involves pressing the primer bulb until it fills with fuel mixture, moving the choke lever to the start position, setting the ON/OFF switch to ON, briskly pulling the starter (up to 10 pulls), immediately moving the choke lever to the run position, and then pulling the starter again until the engine starts. To increase engine speed, the throttle interlock is depressed, and the throttle lever is squeezed. The throttle lock button can be pressed to hold the throttle at approximately 50% speed. To stop the engine, the ON/OFF switch is moved to the OFF position.
When using the brush cutter with the blade, the operator should hold it with both hands, the right hand on the throttle lever and the left hand on the left handle, at about hip height. The shoulder strap should be adjusted for a comfortable operating position and to reduce the risk of contact with the blade. The brush cutter should be used like a scythe, cutting from right to left in a broad sweeping action. It is designed for weeds and vines, and the blade can be turned over when dull but not sharpened. Safety warnings include being aware of kickback when using the metal blade and keeping bystanders at least 15 meters away.
When using the tool as a line trimmer, it should be tilted toward the area being cut, and cutting should be done from right to left and from top down to reduce debris thrown at the operator. The line trimmer features a bump feed mechanism, allowing additional line to be released by lightly tapping the spool on the ground while operating at high speed. The manual advises against bumping the spool head on concrete to prevent cracking the housing.
The manual outlines a clear maintenance schedule to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the brush cutter.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the engine failing to start, being hard to start, lacking power, or running hot, providing possible causes and remedies. It also covers warranty information, stating a 1-year parts and labor warranty against manufacturing defects for domestic use, with exclusions for misuse, unauthorized service, commercial use, and wear parts.
