Setup and Assembly

The Chikura GX35 multi-tool requires some assembly before first use. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present.
2. Handlebar Assembly: Attach the handlebar to the main shaft. Secure it firmly using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure the controls are easily accessible.
3. Engine Unit Connection: Connect the engine unit to the main shaft. Align the shaft and secure it with the locking mechanism.
4. Attachment Installation:
   • Select the desired attachment (e.g., string trimmer head, brush cutter blade, pole saw, hedge trimmer).
   • Align the attachment with the end of the main shaft and slide it into place.
   • Secure the attachment using the locking pin or screws as per the specific attachment's design. Ensure it is firmly seated and does not wobble.
   • Note: Changing attachments requires detaching the current one by unscrewing or releasing the locking mechanism.
5. Fueling: The GX35 uses a 4-stroke engine. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline (minimum 87 octane). Do not mix oil with the gasoline in the fuel tank. Check the engine oil level and fill if necessary with appropriate 4-stroke engine oil. Refer to the engine manual for specific oil type and capacity.

Operating Instructions

Starting the Engine (Smart Starting Technology):

1. Place the multi-tool on a flat, stable surface.
2. Ensure the fuel tank is adequately filled and the engine oil level is correct.
3. Set the engine switch to the "ON" position.
4. If the engine is cold, engage the choke.
5. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible in the return line.
6. Pull the starter cord smoothly and firmly until the engine starts. The "Smart Starting Technology" is designed for easier pulls.
7. Once the engine starts, gradually disengage the choke. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before operating at full throttle.

General Operation:

• Always maintain a firm grip on the handlebars with both hands.
• Keep your balance and footing secure.
• Operate the tool at a comfortable working height, avoiding overreaching.
• When using the brush cutter or string trimmer, swing the tool in a controlled arc, cutting away from your body.
• For pole saw and hedge trimmer attachments, ensure the cutting area is clear and stable. Be aware of falling branches or debris.
• Avoid contact with hard objects, fences, or walls, as this can damage the attachment and cause kickback.
