Hang the grass trimmer z by putting the belt or harness hook through the eye of clamp. Ensure that the safety spring returned back
to its initial position. This will prevent the possible spontaneous release of devices from a harness or belt.
Then adjust the angle and position of the handle, for this purpose loosen the mounting knob and set the handle to ensure the full
freedom of movement during operation, and ensure that the both handles are placed in such a position to not cause excessive
burden. Hands should be bent at the elbows. The cutting element should move in a plane parallel to the ground.
If necessary, you can move the position of the clamp. For this purpose, loosen the screw (V), move the clamp, and then tighten
the screw to block the spontaneous movement of the clamp. Position of the clamp should be adjusted in such a manner, that it
would be located just behind the center of gravity of hanging on it the grass trimmer, this will cause that the cutting element is
self-tilted towards the ground.
Unhook the grass trimmer from the harness or belt. Remove the belt or harness.
Depending on the choice of the cutting element, mount a spool of cutting line or metal cutting blade.
Attention! Because of the risk of injury, when mounting the blade you should wear protective gloves, and you should mount the
blade itself with protective cover attached.
When mounting the reel with cutting line it must be mounted the fixing flange, then, blocking the possibility of spindle rotation,
screw on the spool of cutting line (VI).
When installing the blade you should put the upper flange on spindle. Put on the cutting blade on collar so, that the hole in the
blade hit the protruding part of the mounting flange (VII).
Place the bottom flange, cover of the mounting flanges and using bolts securely tighten the blade, blocking the possibility of rota-
tion of the spindle (VIII).
Refuelling
A blend of fuel, which is intended for two-stroke engines, is used to drive the grass trimmer. It is forbidden to use only the gasoline.
Mix gasoline with oil in the proportions petrol : oil - 40 : 1 1. Mix the mix before pouring it into the fuel tank. Mixing and pouring the
fuel must be carried out away from sources of ignition. Do not smoke while refueling. Fill the tank at a distance of at least 3 meters
away from starting or operating the device.
In order to protect the engine, you should use a good quality unleaded petrol and good-quality oil for two-stroke air-cooled en-
gines. Do not use the oil intended for four-stroke engines, and oil, which is intended for liquid-cooled engines.
If fuel spills you should carefully rub the remains before starting the grass trimmer.
Do not use mixes older than 30 days.
After addition of fuel to the tank and tightly close its.
Starting and stopping the grass trimmer
The grass trimmer should be placed on a level, flat, hard surface. Make sure that the cutting element does not encounter any
obstacles during its revolution. If you installed the blade, make sure that the cover has been removed from it.
It is forbidden to start the grass trimmer without properly fitted items: additional handle and cover of the cutting ele-
ment.
Switch the power switch to "I- switched on" (IX).
Press fuel pump 10 times. (X)
Set the throttle lever to upper position "CLOSED" (XI).
When holding with one hand the grass trimmer, you should energetically pull the starter line for a few times with the other hand,
until the engine begins to start (XII).
Attention! Do not start the grass trimmer holding it in your hands. The cutting element can touch parts of the body and
cause a serious injury.
Move the choke lever to the "OPEN" position, and pull the starter line vigorously until the engine is switched on.
You should not unreel the link to its full length, because this may break it. Attention should be paid to that the starting line be pulled
up along the axis of hole, drawing angled link will lead to premature wear of it.
After you start the grass trimmer, you should press the lock button on throttle, and then throttle button itself (XIII) this will invoke
rotations of the cutting element. The deeper the button is pressed the higher is engine speed.
On the cover of the cutting element there is inserted an arrow showing the direction of rotation of cutting element. Make sure that
the rotation of the cutting element follows in the direction specified by the arrow.
To stop the engine, release the pressure on the throttle button, wait until the rotation of cutting element stops, then switch the on/off
switch in position "O - switched off".
If you hear any suspicious noises, or feel the vibration you should immediately disable the grass trimmer by switching the power
switch to the "O - switched off".
Attention! When you are starting a warm engine, for example, during short breaks in work lasting for several minutes, it is not
necessary to adjust the choke lever to the position "OPEN".
