GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
FIRST AID KIT  
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its  
original position when you release it.  
Always have a first aid kit nearby.  
Machines safety equipment  
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely  
and that the return springs work properly.  
This section describes the machines safety equipment, its  
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried  
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is  
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned  
on your machine.  
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of  
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried  
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out  
professionally. If you need further information please contact  
your nearest service workshop.  
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the hedge  
trimmer and apply full throttle. Release the throttle trigger and  
check that the blades stop and remain stationary.If the blades  
move when the throttle trigger is in the idle position then the  
carburettor idle setting must be adjusted. See instructions  
under the heading Maintenance.  
IMPORTANT!  
All servicing and repair work on the machine requires  
special training. This is especially true of the machines  
safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks  
described below you must contact your service agent.  
When you buy any of our products we guarantee the  
availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer  
who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him for  
the address of your nearest service agent.  
Stop switch  
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.  
WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty  
safety equipment.The machine’s safety  
equipment must be checked and maintained  
as described in this section. If your machine  
fails any of these checks contact your  
service agent to get it repaired.  
!
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you  
move the stop switch to the stop setting.  
Throttle lockout  
Muffler  
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental  
operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A)  
(i.e.when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control  
(B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the  
throttle lockout both move back to their original positions.This  
movement is controlled by two independent return springs.  
This arrangement means that the throttle control is  
automatically locked at the idle setting.  
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum  
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user. A muffler  
fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce  
harmful exhaust gases.  
A
B
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting  
when the throttle lockout is released.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a  
Blades  
significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a  
spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your  
machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.  
To ensure good cutting results it is important that the contact  
pressure between the blades is correct.The contact pressure  
is adjusted by turning the screws on the underside of the bar  
clockwise as far as they will go. Then turn the screws  
anticlockwise a 1/4 turn.Lock the screws using the locking nut  
on the top of the bar. Check that the screws are loose enough  
to allow the washers under the screw heads to slide sideways.  
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions  
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.  
When the blades are correctly adjusted the play between the  
blades should be 0,2–0,4 mm, measured at the screws.  
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.  
The edges of the blades are too hard to be filed. Dull blades  
should be sharpened using a grinder.  
Replace the blades if they are bent or damaged.  
Gear  
The gear housing gets hot when the machine has been in  
use. To avoid burning yourself do not touch the gear housing.  
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the  
machine.  
If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor  
mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will  
cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious  
damage.  
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic  
converters get very hot during use and  
remain so for some time after stopping.This  
also applies at idle speed. Contact can result  
in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of  
fire!  
!
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain  
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid  
contact with these elements in the event of a  
damaged muffler.  
!
WARNING! Bear in mind that:  
!
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot  
and may contain sparks which can start a  
fire. Never start the machine indoors or near  
combustible material!

FUEL HANDLING  
Petrol  
Fuel safety  
Never start the machine:  
1
2
If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow  
remaining fuel to evaporate.  
NB! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least 90 octane  
(RON). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter  
(see chapter on Technical data) always use a good quality  
unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the  
catalytic converter.  
If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change  
your clothes.Wash any part of your body that has come in  
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.  
3
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks  
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.  
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is  
available.  
Transport and storage  
Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is  
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with  
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical  
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or  
boilers.  
The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If you run  
the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-called  
knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine  
temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.  
When storing and transporting fuel always use approved  
containers intended for this purpose.  
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank  
must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find  
out where to dispose of excess fuel.  
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane  
rating is recommended.  
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete  
service is carried out before long-term storage.  
Two-stroke oil  
The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting  
attachment when the machine is being transported or in  
storage.  
For best results and performance use JONSERED two-  
stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for our air-  
cooled two-stroke engines.  
Secure the machine during transport.  
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled  
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated  
TCW).  
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.  
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and  
inhaling fumes.  
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.  
Mixing ratio  
!
1:50 (2%) with JONSERED two-stroke oil.  
Fuel  
1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGB formulated  
for air-cooled, two-stroke engines.  
NB! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and  
must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke  
oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to  
be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained.When  
mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can  
drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

FUEL HANDLING  
Mixing  
Fuelling  
Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended  
for fuel.  
Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be  
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the  
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.  
WARNING!Taking the following precautions,  
will lessen the risk of fire:  
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the  
machine’s fuel tank.  
!
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.  
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.  
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a  
few minutes before refuelling.  
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so  
that any excess pressure is released gently.  
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.  
Always move the machine away from the  
refuelling area before starting.  
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.  
Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.  
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank  
should be emptied and cleaned.  
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the  
tank can cause operating problems.  
Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container  
before filling the tank.

MAINTENANCE  
Carburettor  
Muffler  
Your Jonsered product has been designed and manufactured  
to specifications that reduce harmful exhaust fumes. The  
engine will be run in after it has used 8-10 tanks of fuel. To  
ensure that the engine runs at peak performance and  
produces as little harmful exhaust fumes as possible after the  
running-in period, ask your dealer/service workshop (which  
has a rev counter for this purpose) to adjust your carburettor.  
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic  
converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether your  
machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.  
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct  
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust  
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire  
if directed against dry and combustible material.  
Function  
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the  
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.  
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is  
essential to get the best performance from the machine.  
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is  
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,  
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.  
Adjusting the idle speed  
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If the  
T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle speed;  
turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.  
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor  
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should  
clean the mesh at least once a week.This is best done with a  
wire brush.  
Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air filter  
is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.  
On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should be  
cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted  
with a catalytic converter the mesh should be checked, and if  
necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it  
should be replaced. If the mesh is frequently blocked, this  
can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter  
is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A  
blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result  
in damage to the cylinder and piston. See also instructions  
under the heading Maintenance.  
Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw T, if  
adjustment is necessary. First turn the idle adjustment screw  
T clockwise until the blades start to move. Then turn the idle  
adjustment screw T anticlockwise until the blades stop. The  
idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine runs  
smoothly in every position. There should also be a clear  
margin to the speed at which the blades start to move. The  
blades must also remain stationary when the choke control is  
in the start throttle position.  
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.  
WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic  
converters get very hot during use and  
remain so for some time after stopping.This  
also applies at idle speed. Contact can result  
in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of  
fire!  
!
WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be  
adjusted so that the cutting attachment  
stops, contact your dealer/service  
workshop. Do not use the machine until it  
has been correctly adjusted or repaired.

MAINTENANCE  
Cooling system  
Air filter  
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the  
machine is equipped with a cooling system.  
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt  
in order to avoid:  
2
Carburettor malfunctions  
Starting problems  
Loss of engine power  
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.  
Excessive fuel consumption.  
1
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions  
are exceptionally dusty.  
The cooling system consists of:  
1
2
Cooling fins on the cylinder.  
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).  
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more  
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling  
system results in the machine overheating which causes  
damage to the piston and cylinder.  
Cleaning the air filter  
Spark plug  
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it  
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before  
refitting it.  
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be  
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced with  
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must  
always be replaced.  
The spark plug condition is influenced by:  
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.  
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of  
oil).  
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter should  
be soaked in oil.See instructions under the heading Oiling the  
air filter.  
A dirty air filter.  
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,  
which may result in operating problems and starting  
difficulties.  
Oiling the air filter  
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly  
at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking  
any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check  
that the electrode gap is 0,6-0,7 mm. The spark plug should  
be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if  
necessary.  
Always use special filter oil. 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 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 to the machine. Never use  
common engine oil. This would drain through the filter quite  
quickly and collect in the bottom.  
0,6 - 0,7 mm  
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!  
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.  
Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

MAINTENANCE  
Gear  
There are three grease nipples on the gearbox. Use a grease  
gun to top up with grease. This should be carried out after  
approximately every 20 working hours. Use Jonsered special  
grease.  
Cleaning and lubrication  
Clean any resin and plant residue from the blades using  
cleaning agent before and after using the machine.  
Lubricate the blade bars with special grease before long  
periods of storage.
