Note Do not use old or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump. 17
Operation A 1. Rest the unit on a flat, firm surface (A) - keep the cutting head off the ground and clear of any surrounding objects. Stand clear of the cutting head. B 2. Pour the mixed fuel into the fuel tank (as per fuel mixing instructions) and tighten fuel cap securely. Push the primer valve 8 to 10 times until the petrol/oil mixture flows in and out of the discharge hose located above the fuel tank (B & C). C 18
Operation D 3. Move the choke lever to the ‘START’ position (D) (cold start) please note, if the engine is already warm this is not required. E 4. Press the ignition switch to the ‘ON’ position (E). ON OFF 5. Hold down the throttle trigger with one hand and F with the other hand firmly pull the recoil starter to start the engine. Please note, it may be required to pull the recoil starter 3 to 4 times to successfully start the engine. Any more attempts may flood the engine (F). 6. Allow the engine to run idle for up to a minute to let it warm up before use. 7. To engage the chainsaw/hedge trimmer attachment squeeze the safety lever and press the throttle trigger. 19
Operation NOTE 1. When restarting the engine immediately after stopping it, leave the choke open. 2. Overchoking can make the engine hard to start due to excess fuel. If the engine fails to start after several attempts, open the choke and repeat pulling the recoil starter cable, or remove the spark plug and dry it. STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. Press the ignition switch to the OFF position. ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED 1. When the engine tends to stop frequently at idling mode or the engine works but the blades or saw fail to work, turn the adjusting A screw clockwise a quarter turn and repeat if necessary. Do this on a warm engine. 2. When the cutting head keeps rotating after releasing the trigger, turn the adjusting screw anti-clockwise. (A) Idle adjusting screw NOTE Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling speed. TROUBLESHOOTING - starting the engine If the choke is left in the ‘START’ position continuously it will prevent the engine from starting because there is too much fuel for the air being provided (the choke control reduces the air provided being burnt with the fuel). On warm days, a 2-stroke engine does not need to be choked very much. The cooler it is, the longer you will need to leave the choke on. Pull the recoil starter cable 3 to 4 times to start the engine, this should provide a sufficient fuel/air mixture to the cylinder head. When the engine starts, put the choke lever back to the ‘RUN’ position after a minute, and let the engine warm up. If it starts to splutter, put the choke back to the ‘START’ position for a minute or two. If it doesn’t start, put the choke lever back to the ‘RUN’ position (yes, even if the engine does not start). Continue to pull the recoil starter cable 3 to 4 more times. Then apply the choke and try to start. If it still does not start remove the spark plug clean/dry, replace and start again. 20
Operation - chainsaw CHECKING OIL SUPPLY After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown opposite. (1) Chain oil NOTE The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40 minutes of cutting time (when set to deliver the minimum flow rate, or about as long as you'll get from a tank of fuel). Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when refueling the saw. ! WARNING ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust the oil with the engine running. ! IMPORTANT An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, It may be necessary to check the oil level more frequently than at fuel tank refills. The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever the chain rotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with a lot of pitch. Adjust the pump as follows: 1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the STOP position. 2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up (see image opposite). (1) Oil tank (2) Chain cover 3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in the desired direction (there are three incremental settings): (a) Clockwise-decrease lubrication. (b) Counter clockwise-increase lubrication. (c) Middle IMPORTANT The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly in order to turn. Failure to do so could damage the pump and screw. 21
Operation - chainsaw TO PRUNE BRANCHES FROM A TREE Do not cut any branch larger than 30cm thick. This item is not designed to fell large trees, it is for pruning. Cut lower branches first and work up the trunk. Prune heavy branches in several sections to reduce the weight of the branch and strain on the saw. To avoid tearing the bark, perform a cut on the underside of the branch and then cut the top. The optimum angle for cutting is 60º but this can be adjusted to suit your task requirement. Do not over reach and hold the body of the machine above shoulder height as this is not a stable position (the pole and cutter will of course be above shoulder height). When using the pruner, be aware of any overhead wires, power lines, etc. that may over hang your operating area. HEDGE TRIMMER OPERATION Maximum branch width for cutting with the hedge trimmer is 1cm. Any branches thicker than this will damage the cutting blades and may cause personal injury. When cutting a hedge, please inspect for thicker branches and prune out by hand or another method first. Also inspect for any hidden obstacles such as fence posts or power lines that the hedge has covered. Nesting birds should not be disturbed. Check the reverse side of the hedge for any obstruction or people. To adjust the angle of the cutting blade: Stop the engine. Push down clamp lever to loosen it. Adjust the angle of the blades to the desired angle and then release the lever back into place (see image opposite). NOTE When the power has been turned off that the cutting blades will continue to run for a few seconds. Sap and resin can clog blades and it is recommended that this be cleaned after use with a proprietary resin solvent cleaner and always after finishing a task and before storage. 22
Operation KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - CHAINSAW ! WARNING Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to Iose control of the chainsaw, which could result in serious personal injury. As a chainsaw user you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury. (1) With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. (2) Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the handle. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. (3) Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar make contact with a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the saw. (4) Cut at high engine speeds. (5) Do not overreach . (6) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. (7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent. AVOIDING PULL-IN Pull-in can occur when the bottom of the chain is used for cutting and is stopped suddenly by hitting a foreign object or getting pinched. This pulls the chainsaw forwards and may cause the user to lose control. Pull-in can also occur when the chain is not running at full speed when contact is made with the wood. • Ensure the chain is rotating at full speed and is correctly positioned when making a cut. AVOIDING PUSH-BACK Push-back can occur when the top of the chain is used for cutting and is stopped suddenly by hitting a foreign object or getting pinched. This pulls the chainsaw towards the user and may cause the user to lose control. • Take care not to twist the chainsaw as it is removed when bucking from underneath the log. • Do NOT cut more than one log at any one time. • Be aware of situations that may cause the chain to pinch or pull. 23

Operation BUCKING TECHNIQUES Log supported along entire length. Cut up from beneath the buck being careful not to cut into the ground. Log supported on one end, proceed First, make an insertion from beneath, as if using a saw horse. cutting up 1/3 of the buck diameter to avoid splintering. Secondly, cut from above the buck to meet the first insertion. Avoid pinching. Log supported on both ends. Make a cut from above the buck of 1/3 of the buck diameter, equidistant between the supports at each end, to avoid splintering. Cut up from beneath to meet the first cut. Avoid pinching. Note: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a saw horse. When this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Ensure the log being cut is securely supported. BUCKING USING A SAW HORSE 1. Hold the chainsaw firmly and keep the saw to the right of your body while cutting. 2. Keep the left arm as straight as possible. 3. Keep weight on both feet. The chainsaw should only be used when the buck has sturdy, reliable support. The machine should be held to the right of the body, at a safe distance. The chain needs to be moving at full speed before coming into contact with the wood. When this has been achieved, the machine should be fixed to the wood using dogs. During cutting this support should be used as a lever. • Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands and keep the chainsaw to the right of your body while cutting. • Keep the left arm as straight as possible. • Keep weight on both feet. SKATING /BOUNCING When the chainsaw fails to dig in during a cut, the guide bar can begin hopping or dangerously skidding along the surface of the log or branch, possibly resulting in the loss of control of the chainsaw. To prevent or reduce skating or bouncing, make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for cutting. 25

WARNING Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the machine. Contact with moving cutting head or hot muffler may result in a personal injury. 26
Maintenance AIR FILTER The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine performance. Air filter Check and clean the filter element in warm, soapy water as required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is broken or shrunk, replace with a new one. FUEL FILTER When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel cap and the fuel filter for blockage (see image opposite). (1) fuel filter SPARK PLUG Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused by a fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check that the plug gap is in the correct range. For a replacement plug, use the correct type specified by manufacturer (see image opposite). ! IMPORTANT Note that using any spark plug other than those designated may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becoming overheated and damaged. To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench (see image opposite). Muffler MUFFLER Spark plug ! WARNING Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it repaired immediately. Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire. 27
Maintenance INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT ! WARNING Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs with your bare hands immediately after stopping the engine. The engine can become very hot when in operation, and doing so could result in severe burns. When checking the machine to make sure that it is cool to touch before using it, remove any wood chips or leaves which have attached themselves to the unit. Failing to do so could cause the unit to become overheated, and this in turn could cause the engine to catch on fire. Always make sure that the unit is clean and free of wood chips, leaves, and other waste before use. Check the intake air cooling vent and the area around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25 hours of use for blockage, and remove any waste which has attached itself. PLEASE NOTE: It is necessary to remove the engine cover in order to be (1) able to view the upper part of the cylinder. ! IMPORTANT If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the intake air cooling vent or between the cylinder fins, it may cause the engine to overheat, and in turn may cause a mechanical failure. (1) cylinder (2) (2) intake air cooling vent (back) PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AFTER EVERY 100 HOURS OF USE 1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent, and wipe away any carbon build up. Wipe away any carbon build up on the muffler exhaust vent and cylinder exhaust port at the same time 2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings. 3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way in between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free petrol. 28
Maintenance HEDGE TRIMMER BLADES When refilling the tank or resting, it is often a good idea to use the time to oil the cutting blades. If a gap exists between the upper and lower blades, follow the procedure below to adjust them so that they fit more closely together. 1. Loosen lock nut (A) as shown in the diagram. 2. Tighten screw (B) fully, and then turn one-third to one-half of a rotation backward. 3. While holding onto the screw to keep it in position, tighten the lock nut. 4. Check to make sure that the flat washer (C) is loose enough so that it may be turned by pressing on it with a finger. (1) Upper blade (2) Lower blade NOTE Screwing in the screw too tightly may make it impossible for the blades to move. Conversely, not screwing in the screw tightly enough may make the blades of the trimmer feel dull and cause leaves and branches to become caught in the blades of the trimmer. GEAR CASE The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithium-based grease in the gear case. Supply new grease every 25 hours of use or more often depending on the job condition. When adding lubricant, use a grease gun to insert lubricant into the two grease nipples located on the gear case. (1) Grease fitting 29
Maintenance CHAINSAW ATTACHMENT OILING PORT Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging (1) Oiling port GUIDE BAR Remove sawdust in the bar groove (1) and the sprocket (2). The guide bar groove should always be square. Check for wear of the groove. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the groove is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced. (1) Ruler (2) Gap (3) No gap (4) Chain tilts 30
Maintenance SPROCKET Check for extensive wear, and replace it when the teeth are worn over 0.3mm. (1) Sprocket ! WARNING SAW CHAIN It is very important for smooth and safe operation to keep the saw chain sharp. • Your cutters need to be sharpened when: • Sawdust becomes powder-like. • You need extra force to saw in. • The cut does not go straight. • Vibration increases. • Fuel consumption increases. Cutter setting standards: Be sure to wear safety gloves. Before filing: Make sure the saw chain is held securely. Make sure the engine is stopped. Use a round file of proper size for your chain. Chain type : 91VG File size : 5/32in (4mm) Place your file on the cutter and push straight forward. Keep the file position as illustrated. 31
Maintenance After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated. WARNING Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of kickback or tie- strap breakage.
