When installing a cutting blade, make sure that there are no cracks 
or any damage in it and that the cutting edges are facing the correct 
direction.

Align the notch hole of the cutter holder with the hole on the gear 
case (Top the gear case) and inser t the Allen wrench to stop 
turning. Turn the 

fi

 xing nut clockwise and remove the 

fi

 xing  nut, 

protection cover, cutter holder cap, and toothed lock washers.
The installation of the cutting blade is as follows: inser t the Allen 
wrench into the notch hole of the cutter holder and the hole on 
the gear case. Then, install the cutting blade (check the installing 
direction, as referring to 

Fig.

), the cutter holder cap, protection 

cover and toothed lock washers onto the cutter holder in this order. 
Finally, tighten the 

fi

 xing nut securely by turning counterclockwise 

with the Combi box spanner. (

CAUTION

○

  When installing the cutting blade, set its center hole to the 

convex par t of the cutter holder and hold it with the concave 
sur face of the cutter holder cap. Then, tighten the 

fi

 xing nut to 

prevent the cutting blade from being eccentric. (

)

After installing the cutting blade, be sure to remove the Allen 
wrench and Combi box spanner.

○

  Before operation, make sure the blade has been properly 

installed.

○

  Before operation, check the cutter holder cap under the cutting 

blade for wear or cracks. If any damage or wear is found,

OPERATING

PROCEDURES

Fuel

 (

Fig.

)

WARNING

○

  The brush cutter is equipped with a two-stroke engine. Always 

run the engine on fuel, which is mixed with oil.

Provide good ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.

○

  Fuel is highly 

fl

 ammable and toxic and can result in serious 

injur y if it is inhaled or comes into contact with your skin. Always 
handle fuel with care. Always have good ventilation when 
handling fuel inside building.

Fuel

○

  Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.

○

  Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1, 

please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or Hitachi dealer.

○

  If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality 

oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO 
FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW 
(2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

○

  Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil. 

○

  Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.

Always star t by 

fi

 ling half the amount of fuel, which is to be used. 

Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add 
the remaining amount of fuel.
Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before 

fi

Fueling

WARNING

○

  Always shut o

ff

  the engine before refueling.

○

  Slowly open the fuel tank, when 

fi
