30-day period.
Petrol is highly flammable and extreme precautions must be taken when
handling or working with petrol.
Refueling
Check the fuel level by looking through the translucent fuel tank. If the fuel level is
low, refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine switched off. If the engine has
been running, allow it to cool first.
15
1) Remove the blade cover in the guard first. Then set the trimmer on the ground. Do not
allow the cutting-line to contact any obstruction. Always rest the trimmer on the
ground for starting, rather than holding it in the operating position. This prevents
the end of the trimmer from swinging into something as you start the engine.

MAINTENANCE
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Make sure the engine is switched off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
Ensure the cutting attachments stop at idle speed. This will help to eliminate
several potential hazards:
• Your engine's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas, which
can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.
• Be sure there is adequate ventilation wherever you operate the engine.
• Burns from hot parts! Avoid contact with exhaust; a hot exhaust can
cause serious burns!
• Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
• Injury from moving parts – be aware of moving parts.
• Do not run the engine unless instructed how to do so safely.
2) Read ALL instructions before you use this appliance.
3) To reduce the possibility of fire or explosions, be careful when working with
petrol. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not petrol, to clean parts.
4) Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.

Clean the filter in the oil.
When filling the filter cover, put the choke lever to the middle position.
4. CUTTING-LINE HEAD
The cutting-line head containing nylon monofilament line, a guard and a cutoff knife
as standard equipment. The guard’s cutoff knife automatically removes any excess
line that is released from the cutting head. A protective cover is used over the cutoff
knife. Remove this protective cover before
operating. (See Fig. U)
Nylon monofilament line is suitable for
cutting grass and ordinary weeds, but not
for cutting brush and woody growth.

3) Measure approximately 6 metres of line, and then thread one end through the
hole on the spool. Pull the line until the two line lengths are equal (See Fig. W).
Fig. W
4) Wind both lines tightly and evenly from side to side and feed the line while
turning the spool in the direction of the arrow - winding clockwise. Do not allow
the lines to become twisted (See Fig. X).
Fig. X
It is important to prevent the two lines from becoming twisted with each other.
Position a finger between the lines as you turn the spool to prevent any twisting.
5) When you have about (6 inches) 150mm of line remaining, press the line into the
two notches on the bottom of the spool. This will hold the line on the spool for
re-assembly (See Fig. Y).
Fig. Y
21
6) Insert each end of the cutting lines through the eyelets in the cutting head and
locate the spool over the spindle. (See Fig. Z)
Fig. Z
7) Once the spool is in place, apply pressure on the spool and compress the
spring. Pull each end of the lines sharply to unlock the line from the slots.
8) Continue to apply pressure to the spool until the knob can be threaded anti-
clockwise onto the spindle. Tighten the bump head knob securely (See Fig. AA&AB).
Fig. AA Fig. AB
7. FUEL CAP
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately.
The fuel cap 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 the valve to see if it is faulty and also check the filter for
clogging, then tighten the fuel cap to check if the performance improves. If not
replace the fuel cap.
8. SPARK PLUG
The spark plug must be cleaned or replaced every 20 hours to ensure proper
performance of your product.
22
1) Remove the spark plug cover by pulling it away from the spark plug. (See Fig. AC)
Fig. AC
2) Remove the spark plug from the engine by rotating anti-clockwise with the
socket spanner provided. (See Fig. AD)
Fig. AD
Fig. AE

9. FUEL FILTER (SEE FIG. AF)
Fuel tank is fitted with a filter (b). Filter is situated at the free end of fuel pipe and can
be picked out through fuel port with a piece of hooked wire.
Check the fuel filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter the fuel tank. A clogged
filter will make it difficult for the engine to start and may cause abnormalities in
engine performance.
When filter is dirty, replace.
When the inside of the fuel tank is dirty, clean it by rinsing the tank out with petrol.
When the fuel filter is replaced back into the tank it must sit at the bottom edge of
the fuel tank when in use.

STORING A UNIT
1. Perform all the general maintenance recommended in the Maintenance Section
of your User Manual.
2. Clean exterior of engine, drive shaft assembly, debris shield and line head.
3. Drain fuel from the fuel tank.
4. After fuel is drained, start engine.
5. Run engine at idle until unit stops. This will purge the carburetor of fuel.
6. Allow engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
7. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
8. Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the combustion chamber. Pull starter
rope slowly several times to coat internal components. Replace spark plug.
9. Store unit in a cool, dry place away from any source of ignition such as an oil
burner, water heater, etc.
24
WARNING: 2 Stroke fuel when stored for an extended period of time (and
this can sometimes be as little as a month) will go stale. It loses the gases
required for combustion and may render starting difficult. The easiest and
recommended option is not to store fuel for extended periods. You should empty
out all fuel in both your machine and fuel container, and start fresh with new fuel
at the beginning of each new season.
