FAQs
What is the correct fuel-to-oil ratio for the 2-stroke engine?
The recommended fuel-to-oil ratio is typically 40:1 (40 parts unleaded petrol to 1 part 2-stroke engine oil). Always refer to the product manual for the exact specification.
How do I advance the nylon cutting line?
The trimmer features a Tap ‘N’ Go system. Simply tap the cutting head on the ground while the engine is running to automatically feed more line.
Can this trimmer be used for heavy brush cutting?
While powerful for its class, this trimmer is primarily designed for grass and light to medium weed control. For very thick brush, a more heavy-duty tool may be required.
How is the trimmer stored?
The split shaft design allows the trimmer to be separated into two parts for more compact storage and easier transport in a vehicle or shed.
What type of cutting line should I use?
It is designed to work with standard nylon cutting line. Consult the manual for recommended line thickness and specifications.
Does it come with a shoulder strap?
Yes, it includes a single shoulder harness to help balance the weight and reduce fatigue during use.
Troubleshooting
Engine will not start
Check fuel mixture is correct and fresh. Ensure the choke is set correctly for cold starts. Verify the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. Ensure the on/off switch is in the 'on' position.
Engine runs but cutting line does not spin
Check the clutch mechanism and ensure the drive shaft is properly connected. Inspect the cutting head for any blockages or damage.
Poor cutting performance
Ensure the cutting line is of the correct thickness and length. Check and clean the air filter for proper engine combustion. Sharpen or replace the cutting line if it appears worn or damaged.
Excessive vibration
Ensure all components, especially the cutting head and handles, are securely tightened. Check that the cutting line is evenly wound on the spool.
