Attaching the Shaft and Handle

1. Connect the main shaft to the engine unit. Ensure the locking mechanism clicks into place.
2. Attach the handle assembly to the shaft. Secure it firmly with the provided bolts and nuts. Adjust the handle position for comfortable operation.

Operating Instructions

Starting the Engine

1. Place the tool on a flat, stable surface.
2. Fill the fuel tank with the correct 30:1 fuel mixture.
3. Press the primer bulb several times until fuel is visible.
4. Set the choke lever to the "START" or "CLOSED" position.
5. Pull the starter cord firmly and smoothly until the engine fires (usually 1-3 pulls).
6. Once the engine fires, move the choke lever to the "RUN" or "OPEN" position.
7. Pull the starter cord again until the engine starts and runs smoothly.
8. Allow the engine to warm up for a few moments before engaging the throttle.

Operating Each Attachment

Always wear appropriate PPE and maintain a safe distance from the cutting attachment.

• String Trimmer / Brush Cutter:
  • Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
  • Engage the throttle gradually to reach operating speed.
  • Swing the trimmer/cutter in a sweeping motion, keeping the cutting head parallel to the ground.
  • For brush cutting, approach thicker vegetation slowly and cut in small sections.
• Hedge Trimmer:
  • Hold the tool securely, ensuring good balance.
  • Start the engine and allow it to reach full speed.
  • Cut hedges with a smooth, even motion. Avoid forcing the blades through thick branches.
  • The hedge trimmer articulates to multiple positions for various cutting angles.
• Pole Saw:
  • Ensure the chain is properly oiled before and during use.
  • Extend the pole to the desired length, ensuring all locking clamps are secure.
  • Position yourself safely away from falling branches.
  • Engage the throttle and allow the chain to reach full speed before making contact with the branch.
  • Make a small undercut first, then complete the cut from the top to prevent pinching.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your multi-tool. Always disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance.

• Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug every 25 hours of operation. Clean or replace if fouled or worn. Ensure the gap is correct.
• Fuel Filter: Replace the fuel filter annually or if fuel flow is restricted.
• Blades/Chain:
  • String Trimmer: Replace nylon line as needed.
  • Brush Cutter: Sharpen or replace the blade when it becomes dull or damaged.
