Fuel WARNING • Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m(10ft) away from the fueling stop before starting the engine. • The RedMax engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If RedMax oil is not available.
Operation ■ STARTING ENGINE WARNING • Keep the blades clear of the surrounding as they will start moving upon starting of the engine. 1. When first starting up after putting fuel into the machine, push the priming pump until fuel runs out in the clear tube. Then close the choke. Choking may not be necessary when re-starting right after stopping the engine. NOTE • Avoid pulling the rope to its end or returning it by releasing the knob. Such actions can cause starter failures. 5.
Operation ■ ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED 1. When the engine tends to stop frequently at idling mode, turn the idle set screw clock-wise. 2.When the cutting blades keep moving after releasing the throttle trigger, turn the idle set screw counter-clockwise. NOTE • Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling speed. ■ HOW TO USE • This machine is designed so as to cut twigs upto 8 mm(0.3 inches) thick.
Maintenance WARNING • Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the hedge-trimmer. Contact with moving cutting head or hot muffler may result in a personal injury. ■ DAILY INSPECTION • Check all the fasteners for loose or missing ones. • Brush off dirt on the blades and apply a light coating of oil. NOTE • The blades are loose-installed to the guide bar with several screws and nuts.
Maintenance ■ MUFFLER WARNING • Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, do not use the hedge-trimmer and have it repaired immediately. • Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire. ■ SPARK ARRESTER • The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to prevent red hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust outlet. Periodically inspect and clean as necessary with a wire brush.
Maintenance ■ PROCEDURES TO BE PERFORMED AFTER EVERY 100 HOURS OF USE 1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent, and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe away any carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent at the same time. 2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings. 3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way in between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free gasoline.
