• Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the fuel tank, avoiding spills.
• Securely close the fuel cap after refueling.

Starting the Engine

2. Engage the choke (if cold start).
3. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible.
4. Pull the starter cord firmly until the engine starts.
5. Once started, disengage the choke gradually.
6. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before beginning work.

Using as Brush Cutter (Blade)

For cutting thicker brush, weeds, and small saplings, use the 3-tooth blade.

• Ensure the blade is securely attached and the guard is in place.
• Hold the brush cutter firmly with both hands using the bike handle.
• Maintain a stable stance and swing the blade in a controlled arc.
• Avoid striking hard objects like rocks or metal.

Using as Grass Trimmer (Line Spool)

For trimming grass and lighter vegetation, use the line spool with the Tap-Automatic function.

• Ensure the line spool is correctly installed and the guard is in place.
• Hold the trimmer firmly and maintain a comfortable working posture.
• To extend the line, gently tap the trimmer head on the ground while the engine is running at full throttle.
• Trim grass by swinging the head in a side-to-side motion.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your brush cutter.

Cleaning

• After each use, clean the cutting head, guard, and engine housing to remove grass, dirt, and debris.
• Use a brush or damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the engine.
• Ensure cooling fins are clear of obstructions for proper engine cooling.

Blade and Spool Replacement

• Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance on the cutting head.
• Blade Replacement: Use the provided tools to loosen the retaining nut. Carefully remove the old blade and install the new one, ensuring it is oriented correctly. Tighten the nut securely.
• Line Spool Replacement: Follow the instructions specific to the Tap-Automatic spool for winding new line or replacing the entire spool. Ensure the line is properly fed through the eyelets.

Spark Plug and Air Filter

• Inspect the spark plug regularly. Clean or replace if fouled or worn.
