ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED

• Before adjusting the carburetor, clean the air filter and

warm up the engine.

• Idle screw is adjusted in order to ensure a good safety

margin between idle running and clutch engagement.

With the engine idling (3000 rpm), the blade should

not move. We recommend that you have the dealer

or an authorised mechanic carry out any carburetor

adjustments.

• Weather conditions and altitude may effect carburation.

• Do not allow anyone to stay close to the hedgetrimmer

while working or while adjusting the carburetor.

HEDGE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES

Trim the sides of a hedge first, and then the top.

Vertical cut:

• With the single-sided blade hedge-trimmer, model

226HS75S/226HS99S, always cut from the bottom up.

Horizontal cut:

• In order to get the best cutting results, slightly tilt the

blade (5÷10°) towards the cutting direction.

• Cut slowly, specially with thick hedges.

• Use only as much throttle as is needed to do the job.

Excessive engine speed is unnecessary.

• Avoid cutting thick branches, for which will damage the

blades and shorten the life of drive systems.

• Always keep your body to the carburetor side of your

trimmer, never on the muffler side.

• When a new machine is first operated, in the first few

minutes grease may come out of the gear case. But, since

this is excess grease, there is no cause for alarm. Just

wipe it off with the engine stopped for next use.

• Always remember that the TIP of the blades does cutting.

You will achieve better results by not crowding the

blades into the cutting area. Allow the unit to trim at its

own pace.

• If anything jams in the blades while you are working,

switch off the engine and wait until it has stopped

completely before cleaning the blades. Disconnect the

HT lead from the spark plug.

• Never put the machine down with the engine running

unless you have it in clear sight.
