Start the brushcutter only in accordance with the instructions.

– Do not use any other methods for starting the engine!

– Use the brushcutter and the tools only for such applications as specied.

– Only start the engine, after the entire assembly is done. Operation of the

device is only permitted after all the appropriate accessories are attached!

– Before starting make sure that the cutting tool has no contact with hard

objects such as branches, stones etc. as the cutting tool will revolve when

starting.

– The engine is to be switched off immediately in case of any engine problems.

– Should the cutting tool hit stones or other hard objects, immediately switch off

the engine and inspect the cutting tool.

– Inspect the cutting tool at short regular intervals for damage (detection of

hairline cracks by means of tapping-noise test).

– If the equipment gets heavy impact or fall, check the condition before

continuing work. Check the fuel system for fuel leakage and the controls

and safety devices for malfunction. If there is any damage or doubt, ask our

authorized service center for the inspection and repair.

– Operate the equipment only with the shoulder harness attached which is

to be suitably adjusted before putting the brushcutter into operation. It is

essential to adjust the shoulder harness according to the user size to prevent

fatigue occurring during use. Never hold the cutter with one hand during use.

– During operation always hold the brushcutter with both hands.

Always ensure a safe footing.

– Operate the equipment in such a manner as to avoid inhalation of the exhaust

gases. Never run the engine in enclosed rooms (risk of gas poisoning).

Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas.

– Switch off the engine when resting and when leaving the equipment

unattended, and place it in a safe location to prevent danger to others or

damage to the machine.

– Never put the hot brushcutter onto dry grass or onto any combustible

materials.

– Always install the approved cutting tool guard onto the equipment before

starting the engine.

Otherwise contact with the cutting tool may cause serious injury.

– All protective installations and guards supplied with the machine must be

used during operation.

– Never operate the engine with faulty exhaust mufer.

– Shut off the engine during transport.

– When transporting the equipment, always attach the cover to the cutting

blade.

– Ensure safe position of the equipment during car transportation to avoid fuel

leakage.

– When transporting, ensure that the fuel tank is completely empty.

– When unloading the equipment from the truck, never drop the Engine to the

ground or this may severely damage the fuel tank.

– Except in case of emergency, never drop or cast the equipment to the ground

or this may severely damage the equipment.

– Remember to lift the entire equipment from the ground when moving the

equipment. Dragging the fuel tank is highly dangerous and will cause damage

and leakage of fuel, possibly causing re.

Refueling

– Shut off the engine during refueling, keep away from open ames and do not

smoke.

– Avoid skin contact with mineral oil products. Do not inhale fuel vapor. Always

wear protective gloves during refueling. Change and clean protective clothing

at regular intervals.

– Take care not to spill either fuel or oil in order to prevent soil contamination

(environmental protection). Clean the brushcutter immediately after fuel has

been spilt.

– Avoid any fuel contact with your clothing. Change your clothing instantly if

fuel has been spilt on it (to prevent clothing catching re).

– Inspect the fuel cap at regular intervals making sure that it can be securely

fastened and does not leak.

– Carefully tighten the fuel tank cap. Change location to start the engine (at

least 3 meters away from the place of refueling).

– Never refuel in closed rooms. Fuel vapors accumulate at ground lever (risk of

explosions).

– Only transport and store fuel in approved containers. Make sure the fuel

stored is not accessible to children.

Method of operation

– Only use in good light and visibility. During the winter season beware of

slippery or wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping). Always ensure a safe

footing.

– Never cut above waist height.

– Never stand on a ladder.

– Never climb up into trees to perform cutting operation.

– Never work on unstable surfaces.

– Remove sand, stones, nails etc. found within the working range.

Foreign particles may damage the cutting tool and can cause dangerous

kick-backs.

– Before commencing cutting, the cutting tool must have reached full working

speed.

– When using metal blades, swing the tool evenly in half-circle from right to left,

like using a scythe.

If grass or branches get caught between the cutting tool and guard, always

stop the engine before cleaning. Otherwise unintentional blade rotation may

cause serious injury.

– Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We recommend to

take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.

Cutting Tools

– Use an applicable cutting tool for the job in hand.

Nylon cutting heads (string trimmer heads) are suitable for trimming lawn

grass.

Metal blades are suitable for cutting weeds, high grasses, bushes, shrubs,

underwood, thicket, and the like.

Never use other blades including metal multi-piece pivoting chains and ail

blades. Otherwise serious injury may result.

– When using metal blades, avoid “kickback” and always prepare for an

accidental kickback. See the section “Kickback” and “Kickback prevention.”

Kickback (blade thrust)

– Kickback (blade thrust) is a sudden reaction to a caught or bound cutting

blade. Once it occurs, the equipment is thrown sideway or toward the

operator at great force and it may cause serious injury.

– Kickback occurs particularly when applying the blade segment between 12

and 2 o’clock to solids, bushes and trees with 3 cm or larger diameter.

– To avoid kickback:

• Apply the segment between 8 and 11 o’clock;

• Never apply the segment between 12 and 2 o’clock;

• Never apply the segment between 11 and 12 o’clock and between 2 and

5 o’clock, unless the operator is well trained and experienced and does it at

his/her own risk;

• Never use cutting blades close to solids, such as fences, walls, tree trunks

and stones;

• Never use cutting blades vertically, for such operations as edging and

trimming hedges.

Vibration

– People with poor circulation who are exposed to excessive vibration may

experience injury to blood vessels or the nervous system. Vibration may

cause the following symptoms to occur in the ngers, hands or wrists: “Falling

asleep” (numbness), tingling, pain, stabbing sensation, alteration of skin color

or of the skin. If any of these symptoms occur, see a physician!

– To reduce the risk of “white nger disease”, keep your hands warm during

operation and well maintain the equipment and accessories.

Maintenance instructions

– Have your equipment serviced by our authorized service center, always using

only genuine replacement parts. Incorrect repair and poor maintenance can

shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of accidents.

– The condition of the cutter, in particular of the cutting tool of the protective

devices and also of the shoulder harness must be checked before

commencing work. Particular attention is to be paid to the cutting blades

which must be correctly sharpened.

– Turn off the engine and remove spark plug connector when replacing or

sharpening cutting tools, and also when cleaning the cutter or cutting tool.

6

Never straighten or weld damaged cutting tools.

– Pay attention to the environment. Avoid unnecessary throttle operation for

less pollution and noise emissions. Adjust the carburetor correctly.

– Clean the equipment at regular intervals and check that all screws and nuts

are well tightened.

– Never service or store the equipment in the vicinity of naked ames.

– Always store the equipment in locked rooms and with an emptied fuel tank.

– When cleaning, servicing and storing the equipment, always attach the cover

to the cutting blade.

Observe the relevant accident prevention instructions issued by the relevant trade associations and by the insurance companies.

Do not perform any modications to the equipment as this will endanger your safety.

The performance of maintenance or repair work by the user is limited to those activities as described in the instruction manual. All other work is

to be done by an Authorized Service Agent. Use only genuine spare parts and accessories released and supplied by DOLMAR.

Use of non-approved accessories and tools means increased risk of accidents.

Inspection and rell of engine oil

– Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down.

– While keeping the engine level, remove the oil gauge, and conrm that the oil is lled within the upper and lower limit marks.

When the oil is in short in such a way that the oil gauge touches the oil only by its tip, in particular with the oil gauge remaining inserted in the

crankcase without screwing-in (Fig. 1), rell new oil near the port (Fig. 2).

– For reference, the oil rell time is about 15 h (rell frequency: 15 times).

If the oil changes in color or mixes with dirt, replace it with new one. (For the interval and method of replacement, refer to P19 - 20)

Recommended oil: SAE 10W-30 oil of API Classication, Class SF or higher (4-stroke engine for automobile)

Oil volume: Approx. 0.1 L

Note: If the engine is not kept upright, oil may go into around the engine, and may be relled excessively.

If the oil is lled above the limit, the oil may be contaminated or may catch re with white smoke.

Point 1 in Replacement of oil: “Oil gauge”

– Remove dust or dirt near the oil rell port, and detach the oil gauge.

– Keep the detached oil gauge free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil gauge may cause irregular oil

circulation or wear on the engine parts, which will result in troubles.

– As an example to keep the oil gauge clean, it is recommended to insert the oil gauge on its knob side into the engine cover, as shown

in Fig. 3.

Oil gauge

If oil adheres around

this tip, rell new oil.

Fig. 1

Upper limit of oil level

(Lower part of oil rell

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

BEFORE START OF OPERATION

(1) Keep the engine level, and detach the oil gauge.

(2) Fill oil up to the edge of the oil rell port. (Refer to Fig. 2).

Feed oil with the lubricant rell container.

(3) Securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufcient tightening may cause oil leakage.

Point 2 in Replacement of oil: “If oil spills out”

– If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will

contaminate the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation.

14

REFUELING

Handling of fuel

It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. Fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufciently

ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the

skin becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still

irritated, consult your doctor.

Storage period of fuel

Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.

If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.

Refueling

WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Gasoline used: Automobile gasoline (unleaded gasoline)

– Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric

pressure.

– Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so

that the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never rell fuel full to the oil rell

port.)

– Wipe well the periphery of the tank cap to prevent foreign matter from

entering into the fuel tank.

– After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.

● If there is any aw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.

● The tank cap is consumable, and therefore should be renewed every two to

three years.

Note: – If the starter handle is pulled repeatedly when the choke lever remains at “CLOSE” position, the engine will not start easily due to

excessive fuel intake.

– In case of excessive fuel intake, remove the spark plug and pull the starter handle slowly to remove excess fuel. Also, dry the electrode

section of the spark plug.

Caution during operation:

If the throttle lever is opened fully in a no-load operation, the engine rotation is increased to 10,000 min

-1

or more. Never operate the engine at a

higher speed than required and at an approximate speed of 6,000 - 8,500 min

Primer Pump

4) Primer pump

Continue to push the primer pump until fuel enters into the primer pump. (In

general, fuel enters into the primer pump by 7 to 10 pushes.)

If the primer pump is pushed excessively, an excess of gasoline returns to

the fuel tank.

5) Recoil starter

Pull the start knob gently until it is hard to pull (compression point). Then,

return the start knob, and pull it strongly.

Never pull the rope to the full. Once the start knob is pulled, never release

your hand immediately. Hold the start knob until it returns to its original

point.

6) Choke lever

When the engine starts, open the choke lever.

– Open the choke lever progressively while checking the engine operation.

Be sure to open the choke lever to the full in the end.

– In cold or when the engine is cooled down, never open the choke lever

suddenly. Otherwise, the engine may stop.

7) Warm-up operation

Continue warm-up operation for 2 to 3 minutes.

B: Startup after warm-up operation

1) Push the primer pump repeatedly.

2) Keep the throttle lever at the idling position.

3) Pull the recoil starter strongly.

4) If it is difcult to start the engine, open the throttle by about 1/3.

Pay attention to the cutting tool which may rotate.

STOPPING

1) Release the throttle lever (2) fully, and when the engine

ADJUSTMENT OF LOW-SPEED ROTATION (IDLING)

When it is necessary to adjust the low-speed rotation (idling), perform it by the carburetor adjusting screw.

CHECKUP OF LOW-SPEED ROTATION

– Set the low-speed rotation to 3,000 min

-1

.

If it is necessary to change the rotation speed, regulate the adjusting screw

(illustrated on the left), with Phillips screwdriver.

– Turn the adjusting screw to the right, and the engine rotation will increase.

Turn the adjusting screw to the left, and the engine rotation will drop.

– The carburetor is generally adjusted before shipment. If it is necessary to

readjust it, please contact Authorized Service Agent.

CAUTION:

The cutting tools mentioned below must only be resharpened by an authorized

facility. Manual resharpening will result in imbalances of the cutting tool causing

vibrations and damage to the equipment.

– metal blade

An expert resharpening and balancing service is provided by Authorized

Service Agents.

NOTE:

To increase the service life of the cutter blade it may be turned over once, until

both cutting edges have become blunt.

RESHARPENING THE CUTTING TOOL

Operation of Throttle Lever

With the throttle lever main unit held by hand (with the lock-off lever pushed), pull the throttle lever and the engine rotation will be increased.

Release the throttle lever, and the engine will run idle again.

Release the hand from the throttle lever main unit, and the lock-off lever will return automatically so that the throttle lever will not be pulled by

mistake.

Adjustment of Engine ROTATION

When adjusting the engine rotation with the throttle lever opened to the full, turn the throttle control dial. Turn the dial clockwise, and the engine

rotation will be reduced. Turn the dial counterclockwise, and the engine rotation will be increased.

NYLON CUTTING HEAD

The nylon cutting head is a dual Petrol Brushcutter head capable of both

automatic and bump & feed mechanisms.

The nylon cutting head will automatically feed out the proper length of nylon

cord by the changes in centrifugal force caused by increasing or decreasing

rpms. However, to cut soft grass more efciently, bump the nylon cutting head

against the ground to feed out extra cord as indicated under operation section.

Operation

– Increase the nylon cutting head speed to approx. 6,000 min

-1

.

Low speed (under 4,800 min

-1

) is not suitable, the nylon cord will not feed out

properly at low speed.

– The most effective cutting area is shown by the shaded area.

If the nylon cord does not feed out automatically proceed as follows:

1. Release the throttle lever to run the engine idle and then squeeze the

throttle lever fully. Repeat this procedure until the nylon cord feeds out to

the proper length.

2. If the nylon cord is too short to feed out automatically with the above

procedure, bump the knob of the nylon cutting head against the ground to

feed out the nylon cord.

3. If the nylon cord does not feed out with procedure 2, rewind/replace the

nylon cord by following the procedures described under “Replacing the

nylon cord.”

Replacing the nylon cord

1. Put off cover from housing, pressing two cover locking tabs located

oppositely on side of the housing.

2. Take off tap knob and spool from the housing.

3. Put each one end of two cutting lines into each holes at inner most of the

slot on one of spool outer anges. Put the lines into spool gutters through

each slit on the anges.

4. Wind the lines up rmly to the direction slown by left-hand (LH) arrow on the

ange. Do not cross the lines.

5. Wind all but about 100 mm (3-15/16”) of the Cords, leaving the end

temporarily hooked through a notch on the side of the spool.

6. Put tap knob onto the housing hub, positioning it can freely move up and

down against spring tension. Put the spool into the housing, aligning the

teeth on spool and tap knob alternately like gears.

REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE OIL

Deteriorated engine oil will shorten the life of the sliding and rotating parts to a great extent. Be sure to check the period and quantity of

replacement.

ATTENTION: In general, the engine main unit and engine oil still remain hot just after the engine is stopped. In replacement of oil,

conrm that the engine main unit and engine oil are sufciently cooled down. Otherwise, there may remain a risk of

scald.

Note: If the oil lled above the limit, it may be contaminated or may catch re with white smoke.

Interval of replacement: Initially, every 20 operating hours, and subsequently every 50 operating hours

Recommended oil: SAE10W-30 oil of API Classication SF Class or higher (4-stroke engine oil for automobile)

7. Put in the cutting lines through the slot of eyelets.

CAUTION: Before doing any work on the Petrol Brushcutter, always stop the engine and pull the plug cap off the spark plug (see “checking the

spark plug”).

Always wear protective gloves!

To ensure a long service life and to avoid any damage to the equipment, the following servicing operations should be performed at regular

intervals.

Daily checkup and maintenance

– Before operation, check the machine for loose screws or missing parts. Pay particular attention to the tightness of the metal blade or nylon

cutting head.

– Before operation, always check for clogging of the cooling air passage and the cylinder ns.

Clean them if necessary.

– Perform the following work daily after use:

• Clean the Petrol Brushcutter externally and inspect for damage.

• Clean the air lter. When working under extremely dusty conditions, clean the lter the severall times a day.

• Check the blade or the nylon cutting head for damage and make sure it is rmly mounted.

• Check that there is sufcient difference between idling and engagement speed to ensure that the cutting tool is at a standstill while the

engine is idling (if necessary reduce idling speed).

If under idling conditions the tool should still continue to run, consult your nearest Authorized Service Agent.

– Check the functioning of the I-O switch, the lock-off lever, the control lever, and the Lock button.

SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

8. Put the cover onto the housing, aligning the tabs on cover and the windows

on housing. Make sure the cover is secured exactly to the housing. Outer

edge of cover locking tab and outer surface of the housing should be on

same circumference.

3) Place waste or paper near the oil rell port.

POINTS ON OIL

– Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the

relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.

– Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every

6 months).

4) Detach the oil gauge, and drain oil, tilting the main unit toward the oil rell

port.

Drain oil in a container for orderly disposal.

5) Keep the engine level, and feed new oil up to the edge of the oil rell port.

In rell, use a lubricant rell container.

6) After rell, securely tighten the oil gauge. Insufcient tightening of the oil

gauge will lead to oil leakage.
