Warnings considering handling of fuel The engine of the multi-tool is designed to run on a fuel oil mixture. This fuel is highly flammable,and you should never store cans of fuel or refill the tank of the multi-tool in any place where there is asource of heat or fire which might ignite the fuel. Do not smoke whilst operating the multi-tool or refilling, keep lit cigarettes away

from the multi-tool at all times. When refilling the tank always turn off the engine first and carefully make surethat there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby before refuelling. If any fuel spillage occurs during refuelling, use a dry rag to wipe any fuel which has been spilledonto the multi-tool before starting the engine. After refuelling, screw the fuel cap back tightly onto the fuel tank and then carry the multi-tool to aspot 3 metres or more away from where it was refuelled before starting the engine.

Before using your multi-tool Before beginning work, carefully check the area around the trees, hedges, or bushes to be trimmed,and remove any obstacles which can be cleared before beginning work.

The area within a perimeter of 15 metres of the person using the multi-tool should be considered ahazardous area into which no one should enter while the multi-tool is being used, and whennecessary mark with a warning rope, warning signs, or other forms of warning. When work is to beperformed simultaneously by two or more operators, care should also be taken to constantly lookaround to check the presence and locations of other operators within the work area so as to maintaina safe distance between each person.. Before beginning work, each component of the multi-tool should be checked to make sure that it is inproper working order and to make sure that there are no loose screws or bolts, fuel leaks, ruptures,dents, or any other problems which might interfere with safe operation. Be especially careful to checkthat there is no damage to the blades or with the joints by which the blades are attached to the multi-tool. Never use the multi-tool when the blades/chain are excessively worn or when any sort of damage

has occurred to the cutting mechanism. Check to make sure that the handle grip and the protective cover are secure before using the multi-tool.

Before starting the engine Carefully check the area to make sure that no obstacles exist within a perimeter of 5 metres aroundthe multi-tool before starting the engine.When starting the engine, place the body of the multi-tool onto the ground in a flat clear area and holdit firmly in place to ensure that neither the blades nor the throttle come into contact with any obstacleswhen the engine starts up.

After starting the engine, make sure that the blade/blades stop moving when the throttle trigger isreleased (idle). If the blades continue to move when the engine is at idle, adjust the idle screw on thecarburettor to a point where the blades stop moving, if this cannot be achieved, turn off the engineand take the multi-tool to your authorised servicing dealer for adjustment.


4/23

AVOID NOISE PROBLEMSCheck and follow the local regulations for sound level and hours of operations for gardenmachinery. In general, operate multi-tools between 8a.m.and 5p.m.on week days and 9a.m.to 5p.m.weekends.Avoid using the hedge multi-tool late at night and/or early in the morning.

Safety when using your multi-tool When using your multi-tool, grip the handles firmly with both hands, place your feet slightly apart soyour weight is distributed evenly across both legs, and always be sure to maintain a steady, evenposture while working. Maintain sufficient engine speed to perform trimming work. Never allow other persons to come within the work area as doing so might expose them to danger. If a branch or other object gets caught in the blades during operation, always turn off the enginebefore removing the object. To protect yourself against injury from falling branches, wear the required safety equipment. Keep operation area clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets.Injury may result from flying debris. Never touch the spark plug or plug HT cable while the engine is in operation,

doing so may result in an electrical shock. Never touch the muffler, spark plug, or other parts of the engine while the engineis in operation or immediately after shutting down the engine. These parts reachhigh temperatures during operation and doing so could result in serious burns. When you finish trimming in one location and wish to continue work in anotherarea, turn off the engine, place the protective cover over the blades, and turn themulti-tool so that the blades face away from your body before carrying it to the newlocation. Always remove fuel from the fuel tank before transportation to prevent fuelspillage. When not in use never leave the multi-tool exposed to direct sunlight as this canheat the fuel tank and may cause a discharge of fuel, and flood the engine.

Care and maintenance of your multi-tool In order to maintain your multi-tool in good working order, perform the maintenance and checkingoperations described in this manual at regular intervals. In the event that any part needs to bereplaced, please contact the nearest authorized servicing dealer for assistance.

Fuel

WARNING Fuel is very flammable. Do not smoke or bring any flame or sparks near fuel. Always stop theengine and allow it cool before refuelling. Refuel outdoors on bare ground, restart engine atleast 3m away from the refuelling stop.

FUEL MIX 2 STROKE

The engine is lubricated by oil mixed into petrol. Prepare a mixture of unleaded petrol and semi-synthetic two-stroke oil that meets the specifications of:API TC, ISO-L-EGC, JASO FC (Low Smoke) oil..

Recommended mixing ratio is 25:1.

Use fresh, unleaded petrol (95 RON) and semi- synthetic oil specially made for high performance twostroke engines. Mix in a ratio of 25 parts petrol to 1 part of oil.Using two stroke oil specially made for two stroke engines will reduce the formation of ash and carbondeposits in the spark plug, piston, muffler and cylinder as well as reducing emissions of harmfulexhaust gases. Lubrication will be maximized and the engine life extended.It is important to only use good quality, fresh petrol and oil. The two-stroke fuel mixture shouldbe used within four weeks.

IMPORTANTStored two-stroke fuel may separate during storage, always shake fuel container before eachuse.DO NOT USE: Fuel containing no oil (raw petrol) will cause the engine to become overheated and severedamage will occur.Two-stroke fuel which has been left unused for a period of one month or more may block thecarburettor or result in the engine failing to start, only use freshly mixed two-stroke fuel.


7/23

FUELING1. Shake the fuel container to thoroughly mix the two-stroke oil and petrol mix.2. Remove the fuel cap.3. Pour two-stroke fuel into the fuel tank with a filtered funnel, up to 80% of the fuel tanks capacity.4. Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely. Spilled fuel must be wiped away from the multi-toolbefore starting the engine.

Operation

STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT

1. Rest the multi-tool on a flat, firm surface. Keep the cutting head off the ground and clear ofsurrounding objects as it may start when the engine starts.2. Pump the purge bulb (located under the carburettor) until fuel is visible and flows freely in the clearfuel return line to the fuel tank.

.

3. Move the choke lever upward to close the choke.4. Move the ignition switch to the START position.

5. With your left hand, grip the multi-tool and hold the throttle control at full throttle. With the righthand, slowly pull the recoil starter handle until engagement of the pawls with the flywheel is felt.6. Pull the recoil starter handle firmly until the engine starts. Avoid pulling the rope to its full travel orreleasing the recoil handle when the recoil rope is extended. Such actions can cause starter failure.7. When the engine has started, move the choke lever gradually downward to open the choke8. Allow the engine to warm up for half a minute before starting operation.

NOTE1. When restarting a hot engine, leave the choke open.2.Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. Should the engine becomeflooded, turn the ignition switch off, unscrew the spark plug, wipe it dry or replace, pull the recoilstarter several times without the spark plug in place and choke in the open position. This will helpclean and ventilate the combustion chamber.

RUNNING INDuring the first ten hours of work, run the engine at a moderate speed. Do not run the engine atmaximum speed for a prolonged period until all the components have bedded in. After the engine hasbeen run in, it will reach its maximum power.After the two first hours of work, check that all nuts and screws are securely fastened andtighten if necessary.


8/23

STOPPING ENGINE1. Release the throttle lever and allow the engine to run at idle for half a minute.2. Shift the ignition switch to the STOP position.

NOTEExcept for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine while at full throttle.

WARNING This multi-tool is equipped with extremely sharp blades, and when used incorrectly theblades can be extremely dangerous.Improper handling can cause accidents which may in turn lead to serious injury or death. Forthis reason, you should always be careful to adhere to the following instructions when usingyour multi-tool.

CHAIN OILFill the chain oil tank (2) with low viscosity chain oil or10W30(Dia 6).

Do not use waste or regenerated oil that

can cause damage to the oil pump.

CHECKING OIL SUPPLYAfter starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is thrown off as shown inthe figure. (Dia 7)

(1) Chain oil

The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 20 minutes of cutting time (when set todeliver the minimum flow rate).. Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when refuelling the saw.

ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE

Never fill the oil reservoir or adjust the oiler with the engine

running.An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on the oilreservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to check the oil level more frequentlythan at fuel tank refills.The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever the chainrotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted in thefield. A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting hardwood.

Adjust the pump as follows:

1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the OFF

position.2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up.

(1) Oil tank (2) Chain cover

The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly in order to turn. Failure to do so could damagethe pump and screw (Dia 8)3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in the desired direction(there are three incremental settings)
