○

  Always move the brush cutter at least 3 m from the fueling area 

before star ting.

○

  Always  wash  any  spilled  fuel  from  clothing  immediately  with 

soap.

○

  Be sure to check for any fuel leakage after refueling.

Before  fueling,  clean  the  tank  cap  area  carefully,  to  ensure  that 
no dir t falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by 
shaking the container, before fueling.

Starting

 (

Fig.

16

)

CAUTION

Before star ting, make sure the cutting attachment does not 
touch any thing.

1.  Slide ignition switch (13) to RUN position. (

Fig.

16

)

*  Push priming bulb (16) several times so that fuel 

fl

 ows through 

return pipe. (

Fig.

17

)

2.  With the safety trigger (14) (if so equipped) pressed, pull 

throttle trigger and push throttle lock (15). Then slowly release 
the throttle trigger 

fi

 rst, then the safety trigger. This will lock the 

throttle in star ting position.

3.  Set choke lever to CLOSED position (17). (

Fig.

18

)

4.  Pull recoil star ter briskly, taking care to keep the handle in your 

grasp and not allowing it to snap back. (

Fig.

19

)

5.  When you hear the engine want to star t, return choke lever to 

RUN position (open). Then pull recoil star ter briskly again.

NOTE

If engine does not star t, repeat procedures from 2 to 5.

6.  After star ting engine, pull throttle trigger to release throttle lock. 

Then allow the engine about 2– 3 minutes to warm up before 
subjecting it to any load.

Cutting

 (

Fig.

20,

21,

22

)

○

  When cutting, operate engine at over 6500 rpm. Extended time 

of use at low rpm may wear out the clutch prematurely.

○

  Cut grass from right to left.

○

  Blade thrust may occur when the spinning blade contacts a 

solid object in the critical area.

A dangerous reaction may occur causing the entire unit and 
operator to be thrust violently. This reaction is called blade 
thrust. As a result, the operator may lose control of the unit 
which may cause serious or fatal injur y. Blade thrust is more 
likely to occur in areas where it is di

ffi

  cult to see the material to 

be cut.

○

  Wear the harness as shown in the 

fi

 gure. The blade turns 

counter-clockwise, therefore, be advised to operate the unit 
from right to left for e

ffi

  cient cutting. Keep onlookers out of 

working area at least 15 m.

NOTE

Press the quick release button or pull emergency release 

fl

 ap in 

the event of emergency.

How

to

use

the

shoulder

harness

Wear the shoulder harness on your shoulder as shown 

Fig.

21

and hook it on the hanger of the machine. Adjust the length of the 
shoulder harness to the most comfor table position. (

Fig.

21

)

To remove the machine from the shoulder harness, hold the main 
pipe of the machine 

fi

 rmly by one hand and then remove the hook 

(19) of the shoulder harness from the hanger (20). (

Fig.

23-a

)

How

to

reinstall

the

hook

after

using

the

emergency

release

pinch

It needs to go through the buckle (21) of the hook (19) to the metal 
plate (22) on the harness and go through the plate (23) of the 
emergency release pinch to the metal plate (22) on the harness. 
(

Fig.

23-b

)

After installing the buckle onto the harness, pull the hook (19) and 
make sure the hook (19) is securely 

fi

 xed on the harness, then hook 

it to the hanger (20). (

Fig.

23-a

)

WARNING

○

  When using the machine, wear the shoulder harness and hold 

the machine correctly with both hands.

If you feel that there is something dangerous, separate the 
brush cutter from your body by pulling the emergency release 
pinch (18) of the harness to the direction of the arrow shown in 

Fig.

23-a

.

○

  If the cutting attachment should strike stones or other debris, 

stop the engine and make sure that the attachment and related 
par ts are undamaged. When grass or vines wrap around 
attachment, stop engine and attachment and remove them.

NOTE

If you pull the emergency release pinch without holding the 
machine, the machine will fall to your feet. Pull the emergency 
release pinch while holding the main pipe of the machine by 
one hand.

Before operation, make sure that the emergency release pinch 
on the shoulder harness is working properly.

Stopping

 (

Fig.

24

)

Decrease engine speed and run at an idle for a few minutes, then 
turn o

ff

   ignition switch (13).

WARNING

A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin after 
the engine is stopped or power control is released. When the 
unit is turned o

ff

 , make sure the cutting attachment has stopped 

before the unit is set down.

How

to

use

nylon

head

When cutting, operate engine at over 6500 rpm. Extended use at 
low rpm may wear out the clutch prematurely.
This  product  is  designed  so  that  it  will  stop  cutting  when  the  nylon 
line becomes 16 cm or longer.

WARNING

A cutting attachment can injure while it continues to spin after the 
engine is stopped or power control is released. When the unit is 
turned o

ff

 , make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before 

the unit is set down.

Set the engine speed as low as possible and tap the Head on the 
ground. (

Fig.

25

) Also, you can extend nylon line with hands but the 

engine must be completely stopped. (

Fig.

26

) 

Adjust nylon line to proper length 11 

–

 14 cm before each operation.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE, REPL ACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION

WARNING

○

  The cutting attachment may be spinning during carburetor 

adjustments.

○

  Never star t the engine without the complete clutch cover and 

tube assembled! Other wise the clutch can come loose and 
cause personal injuries.

In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test 
run at the factor y, the carburetor is basically adjusted. A fur ther 
adjustment may be required, according to climate and altitude. The 
carburetor has one adjustment possibility:

T

speed

adjustment

screw.

Idle

speed

adjustment

 (

)

Check that the air 

fi

 lter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the 

cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close 
(clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting 
attachment star ts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw 
until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle 
speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the 
rpm when the cutting attachment star ts to rotate.
If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment, 
contact your Hitachi dealer.
