SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
2. Stop switch  
4. Anti-vibration  
system  
The stop switch should be  
used to stop the engine.  
Your machine is equipped  
with an anti-vibration system  
that has been designed to  
give as vibration-free and  
comfortable usage as  
possible.  
The use of incorrectly  
wound cord or blunt,  
incorrect cutting equipment  
(incorrect type or incorrectly  
sharpened, see section Filing  
the blade) increases the level  
of vibration.  
The machines vibration  
damping system reduces the  
transfer of vibrations  
between the engine unit/  
cutting equipment and the  
machines handle unit.  
WARNING!  
Over exposure to vibrations can result in  
!
blood-vessel or nerve injury to persons  
suffering with blood circulation problems.  
Seek medical attention if you experience  
physical symptoms that can be related to  
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of  
such symptoms are numbness, lack of  
feeling, tickling, pricking, pain, lack  
of or a reduction in normal strength,  
changes in the colour of the skin or its  
surfaces.These symptoms normally  
appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.  
3. Cutting  
attachment guard  
This guard is intended to  
prevent objects from being  
thrown towards the operator  
and to protect the operator  
from unintentionel contact  
with the cutting attachment.  
5. Quick-release  
There is an easily accessible,  
quick-release catch fitted to  
the chest as a safety  
precaution in the event of a  
fire in the engine or for any  
other situation that requires  
you to free yourself from the  
machine and harness. See the  
section Adjusting the harness  
and clearing saw.  
WARNING!  
Do not attach any blade to the unit  
without proper installation of all required  
parts. Failure to use the proper parts can  
cause the blade to fly off and seriously  
injure the operator and/or bystanders.  
!
Under no circumstances may the cutting  
equipment be used without an approved  
guard fitted. See the chapter Technical  
data. If the wrong guard or a defective  
guard is fitted this can cause serious  
personal injury.

Cutting equipment  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
See the cutting  
equipments packaging for  
correct filing instructions.  
The section describes how through correct mainte-  
nance and through using the right type of cutting  
equipment you can reduce the machines tendency to  
kickback, obtain maximum clearing capacity and  
increase the service life of the cutting equipment.  
The blades are sharpened  
using a single cut flat file.  
Only use the cutting and guard equipment we  
recommend! See chapter Technical data.  
Sharpen all edges equally  
to maintain the balance of  
the blade.  
Refer to the instructions for the cutting  
equipment for the correct winding of cord  
and for the selection of the right cord diameter.  
Keep the blades teeht well and correctly  
sharpened! Follow our recommendations. Also  
refer to the instructions on the blade packaging.  
Trimmer head  
Maintain the correct setting. Follow our instruc-  
tions and use the recommended filing gauge.  
Only use a trimmer head  
and trimmer cord that is  
recommended. These  
have been tested by the  
manufacturer to suit a  
particular engine size.  
This is especially

important when a fully  
automatic trimmer head  
is used. Only use the  
cutting equipment we  
recommend! See chapter  
Technical data.  
Sharpening the  
clearing blade  
See the cutting  
equipments packaging for  
correct filing instructions.  
Generally smaller machines require a small trimmer head  
and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cord  
the engine must throw out the cord radially from the  
trimmer head and also meet resistance from the grass being  
cleared.  
A correctly sharpened  
blade is a prerequisite for  
working efficiently and to  
avoid unnecessary wear to  
the blade and clearing saw.  
Make sure that the blade is  
well supported when you  
use the file. Use a 5,5 mm  
round file with a file  
holder.  
The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord  
requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the  
same diameter.  
Make sure the knife positioned on the trimmer guard is  
intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.  
The sharpening angle is  
15°. Every other tooth is  
sharpened to the right and  
the intermediate tooth to  
the left. When the blade  
has been heavily pitted by  
stones the upper side of  
the teeth can, in  
exceptional cases, need to  
be dressed using a flat file.  
In such cases this takes  
place before sharpening  
with the round file.  
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for  
a few days. This will make the line tougher and it will keep  
longer.  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly  
and evenly around the drum, otherwise harmful  
vibrations will occur.  
WARNING!  
Always stop the engine before starting  
work on any part of the cutting equipment.  
!
Dressing the top side must  
be carried out equally for  
all teeth.  
This continues to rotate even after the  
throttle has been released. Ensure that the  
cutting equipment has stopped completely  
and remove the cable from the spark plug  
before you start to work on it.  
Adjust the setting. This  
should be 1 mm.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
General working instructions  
IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
This section covers basic safety precautions for  
working with brushcutters and trimmers.  
If you encounter a situation where you are  
uncertain how to proceed you should ask an  
expert. Contact your dealer or your service  
workshop.  
Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond  
your capability.  
You must understand the difference between  
clearing, brush cutting and grass trimming before  
using the machine.  
Basic safety precautions  
1.Observe your surroundings:  
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect  
your control of the machine.  
To ensure that the above mentioned do not come into  
contact with the cutting equipment or objects that can be  
thrown by the cutting equipment.  
NOTE! Never use a machine without the possibility of  
calling for help in the event of an accident.  
2.Avoid usage in  
unfavourable weather  
conditions. For example,  
thick fog, heavy rain,  
strong winds or extreme  
cold, etc. To work in bad  
weather conditions is  
tiring and can create  
dangerous circumstances,  
e.g. slippery surfaces,  
affect a trees direction of  
fall, etc.  
3.Make sure you can walk  
and stand safely. Look out  
for any obstacles with  
unexpected movement  
(roots, stones, branches,  
pits, ditches, etc.). Take  
great care when working  
on sloping ground.  
4.The engine should be switched off before moving. When  
moving over longer distances and transporting the transport  
guard should be used.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Adjusting the harness and clearing saw  
Basic clearing techniques  
WARNING!  
Always drop to idling speed after each working operation.  
Longer periods running at full throttle without loading the  
engine (that is without resistance, which the engine feels  
from the cutting equipment when trimming) can lead to  
serious engine damage.  
When working with the clearing saw it  
should always be hooked in the harness. If  
this is not done, you cannot control the  
clearing saw safely and this can result in  
injury to yourself or someone else. Never  
use a harness with a defective quick  
release catch.  
!
Designations  
Quick release  
On the front is an easily  
accessible, quick release  
catch. Use this if the engine  
should catch fire or in any  
other emergency situation  
when you quickly need to  
take off the harness and  
machine.  
Use a saw blade for  
cutting woody growth  
with thin stems.  
Use a grass knife or grass  
blade for clearing grass.  
Use a trimmer head or  
plastic blades for lighter  
clearing work, for  
example along verges or  
around trees.  
Even load on the  
shoulders  
A well-adjusted harness and  
clearing saw significantly  
facilitates working. Adjust  
the harness for the best  
working position. Tension  
the side straps so that the  
weight is evenly distributed  
across the shoulders.  
WARNING!  
Sometimes branches, grass or wood can  
get caught between the guard and cutting  
equipment. Always stop the engine when  
cleaning.  
!
Correct height  
Adjust the support strap so  
that the cutting attachment  
is parallel to the ground.  
Correct balance  
The cutting attachment  
should rest lightly on the  
ground. If you use a saw  
blade it should balance  
about 10 cm above the  
ground to prevent contact  
with stones and the like.  
Adjust the position of the  
support strap attachment  
ring to balance the clearing  
saw correctly.

Always have well adjusted equipment.  
Follow the safety instructions.  
Organise the work well.  
Always use full throttle when applying the blade.  
Always use a sharp blade.  
The grass is cut down  
with a sideways, swinging  
movement, where the  
movement from right-to-  
left is the clearing stroke  
and the movement from  
left-to-right is the return

oclock).  
Working methods  
Before you start clearing,  
check the clearing area, its  
condition, slopes, if there  
are stones, pits, etc.  
If the blade is angled to the left when clearing the grass will  
collect in a line, which makes collection easier, e.g. when  
raking.  
Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart.  
Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again.  
On sloping ground the  
pathway should run  
parallel to the slope. It is  
far easier to work along a  
slope then up and down a  
slope.  
Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used  
to protect the blade from hitting the ground.  
Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by  
following these instructions:  
a) Always work at full throttle.  
b) Avoid the previously cut material during the return  
stroke.  
The pathway should be  
planned so that you avoid  
going over ditches or other  
obstacles.  
Stop the engine and remove the brushcutter from the  
harness before you start to gather the cut material.  
WARNING!  
Neither the user of the tool or anyone else  
may attempt to remove the cut material  
!
while the engine is running or with the  
blade rotating as this can result in serious  
injury.  
Brush cutting  
using the saw  
blade  
Stop the engine and blade before you  
remove material that has wound around the  
blade as otherwise there is a risk of injury.  
The bevel gear unit can get hot during use  
and may remain so for a while afterwards.  
There is a risk of slight burns if you touch  
it.  
Cut through thin stems  
and brush. Swing the  
blade sideways in a sawing  
motion.  
Avoid cutting in the  
cutting region between 12  
and 3 oclock on the  
blade.  
WARNING!  
Beware of thrown objects. Always wear eye  
protection. Never lean over the guard.  
Stones, rubbish etc. can be thrown up into  
the eyes resulting in blindness or other  
serious injury.  
12  
!
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.  
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers  
should be outside the safety zone of 15  
meters (50 feet). Stop the machine  
immediately if anyone approaches.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Trimming  
Grass clearing  
using the trimmer  
head and plastic  
blades.  
The trimmer is ideal to  
cut grass that is difficult  
to reach using a normal  
lawn mower. Keep the  
cord parallel to the  
ground when cutting.  
Avoid pressing the  
trimmer head against the  
ground as this can ruin  
the lawn and damage the  
tool.  
Hold the trimmer head  
just above the ground at  
an angle. It is the end of  
the cord that carries out  
the work. Let the cord  
work at its own pace.  
Do not press the cord  
into the area to be cut.  
Do not allow the  
trimmer head to  
The cord can easily  
remove grass and weeds  
up against walls, fences,  
trees and borders,  
however, it can also  
damage sensitive bark on  
trees and bushes and  
damage fence posts.  
constantly come into  
contact with the ground  
during normal cutting  
procedures. Constant  
contact can cause damage  
and wear to the trimmer  
head.  
Reduce the risk of  
damaging plants by  
shortening the cord to  
10-12 cm and reducing  
the engine speed.  
Sweeping  
The rotating cords  
fanning effect can be  
used for quick and easy  
cleaning. Hold the cord  
parallel to and above the  
area to be swept and  
move the trimmer from  
side to side.  
Clearing  
The clearing technique  
removes all unwanted  
vegetation. Keep the  
trimmer head just above  
the ground and tilt it.  
Let the end of the cord  
strike the ground around  
trees, posts, statues and  
the like. NOTE! This  
technique increases the  
wear on the cord.  
When cutting and  
sweeping you should use  
full throttle to obtain the  
best results.  
WARNING!  
Beware of thrown objects. Always wear eye  
The cord wears quicker  
and must be fed forward  
more often when  
working against stones,  
brick, concrete, metal  
fences, etc. than when  
coming into contact  
with trees and wooden  
fences.  
!
protection. Never lean over the guard.  
Stones, rubbish etc. can be thrown up into  
the eyes resulting in blindness or other  
serious injury.  
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.  
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers  
should be outside the safety zone of 15  
meters (50 feet). Stop the machine  
immediately if anyone approaches.  
When trimming and  
clearing you should use  
less than full throttle so  
that the cord lasts longer  
and to reduce the wear  
on the trimmer head.

fuel.  
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must  
always be run on a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is  
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure  
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of  
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture  
when mixing small amounts of fuel.  
Always start by filling half the quantity of gasoline required.  
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel  
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of gasoline.  
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the  
machines fuel tank.  
Do not mix more than max. one months supply of fuel.

handling fuel.  
• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.  
NOTE!  
WARNING!  
Always use high grade  
unleaded oil mixed  
gasoline (minimum 87  
RON). Leaded fuel will  
destroy the catalytic  
converter and it will no  
longer serve its purpose.  
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot  
during and after use.This also applies  
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,  
especially when handling the saw near  
flammable substances or vapours.  
!
Fuelling  
This engine is certified to  
operate on unleaded  
gasoline.  
WARNING!  
The following precautions reduce the risk of  
fire:  
!
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat  
in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel when  
the engine is running. Always stop the  
engine and let it cool for a few minutes  
before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly  
when fuelling so that any over pressure is  
released slowly.Tighten the fuel cap  
carefully after refuelling. Always move the  
machine from the fuelling place before  
starting.  
The lowest  
recommended octane  
rating is 87. If you run  
the engine on lower  
octane rating than 87 so-  
called knockingcan  
occur. This leads to an  
increased engine  
temperature, which can  
result in a serious engine  
breakdown.  
Clean around the fuel  
cap. Contamination in  
the tank can disrupt  
operations.  
When working at  
continuous high revs a  
higher octane rating is  
recommended.  
Ensure that the fuel is  
well mixed by shaking the  
container before filling  
the tank.

need not be completely  
filled.  
For reasons of safety follow  
these recommendations!  
Check the blade to ensure  
that no cracks have formed  
at the bottom of the teeth  
or by the centre hole. The  
most common reason why  
cracks are formed is that  
sharp corners have been  
formed at the bottom of  
the teeth while sharpening  
or that the blade has been  
used with dull teeth.  
Discard a blade if cracks  
are found.  
Check that the support  
flange is not cracked due  
to fatigue or due to being  
tightened too much.  
Warm engine  
Use the same starting  
procedure as for the cold  
engine, but do not set the  
choke control in the choke  
position. The start throttle  
position is obtained by  
setting the choke control in  
the choke position and then  
returning it to its original  
position.  
Discard the support flange  
if it is cracked.  
Ensure the locking nut has  
not lost its captive force.  
The nut lock should have  
a locking force of at least  
1.5 Nm. The tightening  
torque of the locking nut  
should be 35-50 Nm.  
Stop  
The engine is stopped by  
switching off the ignition.  
Check that the guard is  
not damaged or cracked.  
Replace the guard if it is  
exposed to impact or is  
cracked.  
Check that the trimmer  
head and spray guard are  
not damaged or cracked.  
Replace the trimmer head  
or spray guard if they are

MAINTENANCE  
Final setting of the idling speed T  
Adjust the idling speed with  
the screw T, If it is necessary  
to readjust. First turn the  
idle speed adjusting screw T  
clockwise until the cutting  
attachment starts to rotate/  
move.  
Correctly adjusted carburettor  
A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the machine  
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little  
at max speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachment must not  
rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low speed needle L  
may cause starting difficulties and bad acceleration.  
A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power =  
less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.  
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives  
acceleration problems or too low working speed.  
Then turn, counter-  
clockwise until the cutting  
attachment stops. A correctly  
adjusted idle speed setting  
occurs when the engine runs  
smoothly in every position.  
It should also be good  
margin to the rpm when the  
cutting attachment starts to  
rotate/move.  
CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed  
setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment  
stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly  
adjusted or repaired.  
High speed needle H  
The high speed needle affects  
the machines power, speed,  
temperature and fuel  
consumption. A too lean  
adjustment on the high  
speed needle H (the high  
speed needle H is screwed in  
too much) gives a too high  
speed resulting in engine  
damage. Do not allow the  
engine to run at full speed  
for more than 10 seconds.  
Apply full throttle and turn  
the high speed needle H  
slowly anticlockwise until  
the engine runs unevenly.  
The high speed needle H is  
then turned slowly clockwise  
a little until the engine runs  
smoothly.  
Note the engine should be

difficulties.  
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs  
poorly while idling always check the spark plug first.  
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check  
that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be  
changed after about one month of operation or earlier if  
necessary.  
NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An  
incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.  
Cleaning the air filter  
Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in  
clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before  
refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never  
be cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the  
filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter  
must always be replaced.  
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter  
should be soaked in oil, see the section on Oiling the air  
filter.

WARNING!  
Always stop the engine before starting

This continues to rotate even after the  
throttle has been released. Ensure that the  
cutting equipment has stopped completely  
and remove the cable from the spark plug  
before you start to work on it.  
Always use filter oil. The  
filter oil contains a solvent  
to make it spread evenly  
through the filter. You  
should therefore avoid skin  
contact. Put the filter in a  
plastic bag and the pour the  
filter oil over it. Knead the  
plastic bag to distribute the  
oil. Squeeze the excess oil  
out of the filter inside the  
plastic bag and pour off the  
excess before fitting the filter  
on the machine. Never use  
common engine oil. This  
would drain through the  
filter quite quickly and

collect in the bottom.  
WARNING!  
Always discard a blade that is bent,  
twisted, cracked, shattered or damaged in  
any other way. Never attempt to straighten  
a twisted blade for use again. Only use  
original blades of the prescribed type.

MAINTENANCE  
NOTE: Use only JONSERED replacement parts. Use of other  
Sharpening the clearing blade  
brands of replacement parts can cause damage to your unit or  
injury to the operator or others. Your warranty does not cover  
damage or liability caused by the use of accessories and/or  
attachments not specifically recommended by JONSERED.  
WARNING!  
Incorrect cutting equipment or an  
incorrectly sharpened blade increases  
the risk of kickback.  
!
Maintenance schedule  
Below you will find some general maintenance instructions.  
See the cutting  
equipments packaging  
for correct filing  
instructions.  
Daily maintenance  
Check throttle trigger and throttle trigger lockout function.  
Check stop switch function.  
Check that blade/trimmer head does not rotate at idling.  
Clean the exterior of the machine.  
A correctly sharpened  
blade is a prerequisite for  
working efficiently and to  
avoid unnecessary wear to  
the blade and clearing  
saw.  
Check that the harness is undamaged.  
Check the blade guard for damage or cracks.  
Change the guard in case of impacts or cracks.  
Check that the blade is properly centred, sharp, and without  
cracks.  
Check the trimmer head for cracks and chips or damage.  
Replace if necessary.  
Make sure that the blade  
is well supported when  
you use the file. Use a 5.5  
mm round file with a file  
holder.  
A non-balanced blade/trimmer head induces heavy  
vibrations that may damage the machine.  
Check that the blade nut is sufficiently tightened.  
Make sure that the blade transport guard is undamaged and  
that it can be securely fitted.  
The sharpening angle is  
15°. Every other tooth is  
sharpened to the right  
and the intermediate  
tooth to the left. When  
the blade has been heavily  
pitted by stones the upper  
side of the teeth can, in  
exceptional cases, need to  
be dressed using a flat file.  
In such cases this takes  
place before sharpening  
with the round file.  
Check that nuts and screws are sufficiently tightened.  
Weekly maintenance  
Check the starter, especially cord and return spring.  
Clean the carburetor area.  
Clean the exterior of the spark plug.  
Remove it and check the electrode gap.  
Adjust it to 0,5 mm (.020"), or change the spark plug.  
Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and check that the air  
intake at the starter is not clogged.  
Check that the angle gear is filled with grease up to 3/4. Use  
special grease.  
Clean the air filter.  
Clean or replace the mufflers spark arrest screen (not on  
mufflers with a catalytic converter).  
Dressing the top side  
must be carried out  
equally for all teeth.  
Adjust the setting. This  
should be 1 mm.  
Monthly maintenance  
Clean the fuel tank.  
Clean the exterior of the carburetor and the space around it.  
Clean the fan and the space around it.  
Check fuel hose for cracks or other damage. Change if  
necessary.  
Change fuel filter in fuel tank.  
Check clutch, clutch spring and clutch drum for wear.  
Change if necessary.  
Check electrical wires and connections.  
Change the spark plug.  
Change the airfilter.  
Check and clean the mufflers spark arrest screen if necessary  
(only mufflers with a catalytic converter).
