Operation
■ ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED
1. When the engine tends to stop frequently
at idling mode, turn the idle set screw
clock-wise.
2.When the cutting blades keep moving after
releasing the throttle trigger, turn the idle
set screw counter-clockwise.
• Warm up the engine before adjusting the
idling speed.
NOTE
■ HOW TO USE
• This machine is designed so as to cut
twigs upto 8 mm(0.3 inches) thick.
Cutting too thick twigs or metal wires
can not only break the blade teeth but
also give damage to the drive
mechanism.
• When trimming leaves and thin twigs, guide
the blades as drawing a half circle on the
surface, and you will get a better finish.
• Running the engine at high speed with the
blades Jammed up can shorten the life of
clutch parts. When the blades have been
jammed by thick twigs, stop operation at
once and draw your unit off the objects
after stopping the engine. When clipping
comparatively thick twigs, move your unit
slowly back and forth like a saw, and they
can be cut to a fine finish.
• When a new unit is first operated, in the
first few minutes grease may come out of
the gear case. But, since this is excess
grease, there is no cause for alarm. For
next use just wipe it off with the engine
stopped.
NOTE
■ STOPPING ENGINE
1. Release the throttle lever and run the
engine at idling speed for a half minute.
2. Slide the ignition switch to the STOP
position.
• Except for an emergency, avoid stopping
the engine while running it at high speed.
