4.2 Connecting the Drive Shaft and Attachments

1. Connect the flexible drive shaft to the engine unit, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
2. Attach the desired working tool (hedge trimmer, pole pruner, brush cutter, or grass trimmer) to the end of the drive shaft. Align the connection points and secure with the locking mechanism.
3. If additional reach is required, insert the extension pole between the drive shaft and the working tool.
4. Mount the handle assembly to the shaft at a comfortable working position.

4.3 Fueling the Engine

This tool is equipped with a 4-stroke engine. It requires unleaded gasoline and separate 4-stroke engine oil. Do NOT mix oil with gasoline.

1. Ensure the engine is cool and turned off.
2. Open the fuel tank cap and fill with fresh, unleaded gasoline. Do not overfill.
3. Locate the oil filler cap (usually marked with an oil can symbol) and fill the crankcase with recommended 4-stroke engine oil to the appropriate level. Refer to the engine manual for specific oil type and capacity.
4. Securely close both fuel and oil caps.

4.4 Starting the Engine

The CDI ignition system ensures easy starting.

1. Place the tool on a flat, stable surface.
2. Set the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position.
3. Engage the choke (if the engine is cold).
4. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible.
5. Pull the starter cord firmly until the engine starts.
6. Once started, gradually disengage the choke. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before operating at full throttle.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Operation

• Always hold the tool firmly with both hands.
• Maintain a balanced stance and be aware of your surroundings.
• Never operate the tool above shoulder height without proper support or if you cannot maintain control.
• Release the throttle trigger to stop the cutting attachment. Turn off the engine using the ON/OFF switch when not in use or when changing attachments.

5.2 Hedge Trimmer Attachment

The hedge trimmer features a 400 mm blade that can be adjusted up to 90 degrees for precise cutting angles.

• Angle Adjustment: Loosen the adjustment knob, set the desired blade angle, and tighten the knob securely.
• Cutting Technique: Use a sweeping motion, moving the blade steadily along the hedge. Avoid forcing the blade through thick branches. For best results, cut the sides of the hedge first, then the top.

5.3 Pole Pruner Attachment

Figure 5: Pole Pruner Attachment.

The pole pruner is equipped with a 300 mm blade and an automatic chain lubrication system for smooth cutting of branches.

• Chain Lubrication: Ensure the oil reservoir is filled with appropriate chain oil. The automatic system will lubricate the chain during operation.
• Cutting Technique: Position the pruner carefully. Make a small undercut first to prevent bark stripping, then complete the cut from above. Be aware of falling branches.

5.4 Brush Cutter Attachment

Figure 6: Brush Cutter Attachment.

The brush cutter uses a robust 255 mm scythe blade for clearing dense vegetation and tough weeds.

• Blade Use: The metal blade is suitable for thick grass, weeds, and light brush.
• Cutting Technique: Use a side-to-side sweeping motion. Keep the blade parallel to the ground. Be extremely cautious of kickback and flying debris.

5.5 Grass Trimmer Attachment

Figure 7: Grass Trimmer Attachment.

The grass trimmer has a 430 mm cutting width and uses a double nylon line spool for trimming grass and lawn edges.

• Line Feed: Tap the trimmer head gently on the ground while operating at full throttle to advance the nylon line.
• Cutting Technique: Use a gentle sweeping motion to trim grass. Avoid contact with hard surfaces like concrete or rocks to prevent line breakage.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your tool. Always turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the tool, especially the cutting attachments, of grass, dirt, and debris. Use a damp cloth; avoid using high-pressure water.
• Engine Oil: Check the engine oil level before each use and top up if necessary. Change the engine oil according to the schedule in the engine manual (typically after the first 5-10 hours, then every 25-50 hours).
• Air Filter: Clean the air filter regularly, especially in dusty conditions. Replace if damaged.
• Spark Plug: Inspect and clean the spark plug periodically. Replace if worn or fouled.
• Cutting Attachments:
  • Hedge Trimmer: Keep blades sharp and lubricated. Apply a light oil after each use to prevent rust.
  • Pole Pruner: Ensure the chain is sharp and properly tensioned. Keep the chain oil reservoir filled.
  • Brush Cutter: Inspect the blade for damage or dullness. Sharpen or replace as needed.
  • Grass Trimmer: Replace nylon line when it runs out. Inspect the trimmer head for wear.
• Storage: When storing for extended periods, drain the fuel tank or use a fuel stabilizer. Clean the tool thoroughly and store in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
