GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a
Machine′s safety equipment
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.
This section describes the machine′s 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.
IMPORTANT!
All servicing and repair work on the machine requires
special training. This is especially true of the machine′s
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.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions
on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
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.
!
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
move the stop switch to the stop setting.
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.
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!
!
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.
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!

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
•
•
•
Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
Obtain maximum cutting performance.
Extend the life of cutting equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Only use cutting attachments with the guards we
recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.
Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check
the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord
diameter.
WARNING! Always stop the engine before
doing any work on the cutting attachment.
This continues to rotate even after the
throttle has been released. Ensure that the
cutting attachment has stopped completely
and disconnect the HT lead from the spark
plug before you start to work on it.
!
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment may
increase the risk of accidents.
!
Trimmer head
IMPORTANT!
Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly
around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate
harmful vibration.
•
Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer
cords.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
recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on
Technical data.
•
•
Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads
and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a
cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the
trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass
being cleared.
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 that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact.
This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water
for a couple of days.This will make the line tougher so that
it lasts longer.

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.

Basic safety rules
1
•
Look around you:
To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear approved eye protection. Never
lean over the cutting attachment guard.
Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into
the eyes causing blindness or serious injury.
•
To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into
contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that
are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
!
•
NB! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call
for help in the event of an accident.
Keep unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches. Never swing the machine
2
Inspect the working area. Remove all loose objects, such
as stones, broken glass, nails, steel wire, string, etc. that
could be thrown out or become wrapped around the
cutting attachment.
around without first checking behind you to
make sure no-one is within the safety zone.
3
4
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as
icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
Basic working techniques
Always slow the engine to idle speed after each working
operation. Long periods at full throttle without any load on the
engine can lead to serious engine damage.
Make sure you can move and stand safely.Check the area
around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches,
ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take
great care when working on sloping ground.
WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass
get caught between the guard and cutting
attachment. Always stop the engine before
cleaning.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
Sweeping
Grass trimming with a trimmer head
•
The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick
and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above
the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.
Trimming
•
Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle.
It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord
work at its own pace. Never press the cord into the area
to be cut.
•
When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to
obtain the best results.
•
•
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.
Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the
cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.
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. CAUTION! This technique increases
the wear on the cord.
•
•
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.
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.
Cutting
•
The trimmer is ideal for cutting 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.
•
Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into
contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant
contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the
trimmer head.

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 using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is
necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T
clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then
turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment
stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine
will run smoothly in every position.The idle speed should also
be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts
to rotate.
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.

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.
